Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

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 2013.

There is no escaping from the fact that FY 2013 has been a challenging year – not just for Minbos, but for many smaller companies in the mining industry. The capital market has contracted significantly and even quality projects, which I firmly believe ours are, have not been guaranteed funding. As a result, Minbos’ share price has declined steadily to disappointingly low levels and I know our shareholder base has been concerned at this trend.

I wish to assure shareholders that a prime focus of the Board during the year has been sourcing suitable funding to meet the immediate needs of our key phosphate projects in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Board is currently structuring a series of financial instruments that we believe will enable us to fund our equity share of our Angolan project as a priority. I am very excited about proceeding with this project, with the goal of taking it into production, which will of course generate cash flow for the Company.

The past 12 months has been a period of significant change and re-generation for the company in many ways. The business has been strengthened through a restructuring of both our operational capability and Board and executive capability.

We have recently welcomed Bill Oliver to the Board of Minbos. Bill’s skill set and African experience will substantially boost the Board’s capability. We will continue to seek to strengthen the Board as we move forward, ensuring we have the right team in place to oversee the development of our assets into production.

FY2013 has also seen a heightened focus on cost reduction initiatives, to reduce our fixed cost base whilst the projects are in feasibility stage. This includes a reduction in our African employee base by 75%, a reduction in our Australian and African office costs, and the rationalisation of our logistics functions. We have also improved our governance throughout all levels of the Company. As a result of these measures, I believe we are now in the best possible shape to move forward with our exciting projects.

Our key focus in the DRC has been negotiating with our joint venture partner Allamanda to restructure the Joint Venture (JV) in a way that is more amenable to external funding and to transfer the exploration licences into the JV company, Phosphalux SPRL. While these discussions are ongoing, I can report that we have made substantial progress on the project. We recently announced a resource upgrade to JORC Indicated status of 58.5Mt at 14.2% P2O5. We have completed a first stage logistics study that has concluded that barging and trans-shipping our product on the Congo River is a possibility and further detailed studies would be the next step. We have also completed a preliminary environmental review that would accompany the scoping study in a Mining Licence application once the licences are transferred. The Board is continually reviewing its options to derive value from this project.

Cacata is awaiting the renewal of it Exploitation Permits before proceeding with the bankable feasibility study (BFS). The Government of Angola is processing these under the country’s new mining code, with this process taking longer than initially anticipated. However, the project is well placed and we expect the renewal process to conclude in October 2013 with funding being finalised shortly thereafter and the BFS moving forward.

We look forward to an exciting year ahead. I thank our loyal staff for their dedication throughout the last year and I thank you, our shareholders, on behalf of the Board for your support and continued belief in the Company.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

1. GROUP OVERVIEW

Minbos Resources Limited (“Minbos” or “the Company”) 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 2013 and up until the date of this report being lodged with the ASX.

Minbos is an exploration and development company with its focus on phosphate bearing deposits within the Cabinda Province (“Cabinda”) of Angola and the adjoining areas of the far western Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”). Through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the Company is progressing Bankable Feasibility Studies (“BFS”) upon the high grade Cacata and Kanzi projects, while continuing to explore over 400,000 ha of highly prospective ground hosting phosphate bearing deposits.

In November 2012 the Company raised $1.71 million via a placement to sophisticated investors. Since listing and up to date of this report, Minbos Resources Limited and its Controlled Entities (“the Group”) has used its funds in accordance with the business objectives originally stated in its prospectus and subsequent announcements made thereon. It is the intention of the Company to continue to use funds on the on-going development of its current projects and stated business objectives.

The Company’s strategy is to specifically target the exploration and development of low cost fertiliser-based commodities in order to tap into the growing global demand for fertilisers. Phosphate is an essential component in certain agricultural fertilisers, with the market supported by the increasing global demand for food and bio-fuel products, in tandem with growing pressure on food producers to improve the productivity of existing arable land.

(a) Investment Highlights

The highlights during the financial year include:

  • Board and CFO appointments - Minbos appointed a new Managing Director, Mr Scott Sullivan and Chief Financial Officer, Mr James Carter.

  • Capital Raising - Minbos raised $1.7 million at 14 cents per share to progress Bankable Feasibility Studies for projects in Angola and DRC.

  • Cacata Operations – Excellent testwork results received from beneficiation testwork on samples from the Cacata diamond drill core, confirming results from earlier campaign carried out on aircore samples.

  • Positive results from test work showing that Cacata Phosphate can be successfully processed in the dehydrate phosphoric acid route, producing a good quality phosphoric acid and DAP with low deleterious mineral content.

  • Minbos formed a Joint Venture with Allamanda Trading Ltd (“Allamanda”) for the exploration and development of the Kanzi project and surrounding exploration areas in the western Democratic Republic of Congo.

  • Kanzi Scoping Study – Positive results were received from the scoping study completed on the Kanzi Phosphate Project (“Kanzi”). The study demonstrated positive economics, confirming the potential of Kanzi as a viable project with forecast pre-tax cash flows in excess of US$1.5 billion over a 17-year mine life.

  • Kanzi Drilling Results – A total of 171 aircore holes were drilled, the results of which confirm Minbos’ understanding of Kanzi deposit and the high project potential. 89 infill holes were drilled to enable the upgrade of the resource from Inferred to Indicated JORC category. 71 holes were drilled in the targeted area of first mining to enable more detailed modelling and planning for the pit. 11 holes were drilled to twin holes previously drilled in 2011.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

Since listing, Minbos has moved from an exploration company to a company that now has two projects in development stage plus a substantial resource - confirmation that Minbos is rapidly achieving its goal of becoming a low capex and opex phosphate rock producer and exporter.

Projects

Minbos holds a significant concession area of circa 400,000 ha in the Congo Basin running from Cabinda, Angola to Western DRC. The key projects include, as shown in Figure 1 :

  • Cabinda Phosphate (50% interest) - including Cacata, Mongo Tando, Chibuete, Chivovo and Ueca deposits with historical and/or current exploration data.

  • Western DRC Phosphate (49% interest[1] ) – An interest in the Kanzi deposit which has both historical and current exploration data and an option on the Fundu-Nzobe deposits which has historical exploration data.

Figure 1: Phosphate Projects

==> picture [277 x 408] intentionally omitted <==

1 On 1 August 2012, Minbos announced JV ownership of 65%. Subsequently Minbos has been presented with a side agreement by its JV partner which seeks to apportion Minbos to 49%. At 30 June 2013, Allamanda continued to hold the Kanzi Joint Venture licences, accordingly the Group has impaired the exploration expenditure incurred during the financial year until the licences are transferred to the Joint Venture entity.

Cut off grades varied from 5-10% depending on deposit.

** A total of 58.5Mt at 14.2% P2O5 is contained within the resource and was used for satisfying the Performance C milestone whereby 10,000,000 Class C Performance Shares were converted into fully paid ordinary shares upon delineation of JORC compliant mineral resource at the Kanzi project of greater than 25Mt at greater than 12.5% P2O5 on the area before 18 April 2013.

2. CABINDA PROJECT

(a) History and Ownership

The Cabinda licence area covers an area of approximately 200,000 ha and all the known and historically explored phosphate Prospects in Cabinda, Angola.

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 six deposits within the licence area and preliminary beneficiation test work.

The Cabinda exploration permit (006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM/2010) is held by joint venture company, Mongo Tando Lda (“MTL”). MTL is owned (via local subsidiaries) 50% by Minbos and 50% by Petril Projects Ltd.

The Cabinda licence area contains six exploration projects: Mongo Tando, Chibuete, Ueca, Cacata, Chivovo and Cambota (as shown in Figure 2 below). The most advanced of these projects is the high grade Cacata Project.

6 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

Minbos has classified the Projects within Cabinda into two distinct categories:

Eastern Limb Deposits

Cacata, Chivovo and Cambota make up the Eastern Limb deposits. These deposits are smaller than those of the Western Limb but contain substantial tonnages above 20% P2O5.

Minbos’ focus during the financial period has been the rapid advancement of the Cacata Project, which is now at BFS stage.

Western Limb Deposits

Mongo Tando, Chibuete and Ueca make up the Western Limb deposits. These deposits are characterised by large tonnage and make up the bulk of the current overall resource estimate.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

Cacata deposit

The Cacata deposit lays on the Eastern most boundary of the exploration permit in Cabinda and currently has an Indicated Mineral Resource estimated at 30.4Mt @ 17% P2O5 (including 22.5Mt @ 21.4% P2O5). The high grade nature of the deposit and its excellent location (close proximity to infrastructure and the coast) meant that it became the focus of a near term development project for Minbos.

Cacata Scoping Study

During 2012, the joint venture company, Mongo Tando Limited, completed a scoping study to assess the economics of developing a standalone phosphate rock export operation to produce 0.8Mtpa of phosphate rock concentrate over a 10 year life of mine (“LOM”).

The scoping study delivered the following positive results[2] :

  • Operating costs of USD $57.23 per tonne free-on-board (“fob”) of phosphate rock;

  • Capital cost estimate of USD $157m, based on owner operated mining, road haulage and ship loading;

  • Strong opportunity to further reduce capital and operating costs during the BFS;

  • IRR of 40.2 % (pre-tax); and

  • NPV of USD $311m (pre-tax) at a 10% discount rate.

General

The scoping study is based on the JORC high grade Indicated Mineral Resource of the Central and Northern sections of the Cacata deposits and demonstrates the robust nature of the Cacata high grade project, resulting in the immediate commencement of a BFS.

Mining

Coffey Mining (“ Coffey ”) was commissioned to conduct an evaluation of the viability of mining, the high grade portion of the Cacata deposit. The Coffey report concluded that using a truck and shovel approach the high grade portion of Cacata could be mined at a 1.2 million tonnes per annum (“ Mtpa ”) of Run of Mine (“ ROM ”) at a strip ratio of 1.74:1 (waste to ROM) and a ROM bench height of 3.7m.

The economical evaluation was based on the mining equipment being purchased and operated by the owner and a conservative allowance for availability and utilization. Coffey have also made allowances for replacement capital during the 10 year LOM.

Coffey have derived costs from first principles and their experience in West Africa mining projects that:

  • the initial Capex would be USD $9.5m and

  • the average mining cost of USD $5.72/t phosphate rock produced.

Processing

DRA Minerals Projects (“DRA”) was commissioned to conduct a technical and financial evaluation of the viability of processing the high grade portion of Cacata. The basis for the evaluation was a mineral processing test work campaign carried out by Mintek Laboratories (“Mintek”) on a sample supplied by MTL from the recent PQ diamond drilling campaign.

2 Amounts quoted are for 100% of the Project. Minbos currently owns 50% of the project, with the remaining 50% held by Petril Projects Ltd.

8 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

The processing route is a basic washing and selective screening operation which by its nature is a low energy consumer and operator friendly. The processing route as shown in Figure 3 is as follows:

  • the ROM is passed through an attrition scrubber to remove lumps and clay agglomerates;

  • the attrition scrubber discharges over a desliming screen;

  • the screen undersize (-2.36mm) is further deslimed and the oversize (+2.36mm) is discarded;

  • the - 2,36mm + 106 micron phosphate rock is de-watered in a vacuum belt filter and then passed through a rotary drier to produce a 2 - 3% moisture content phosphate; and

  • the concentrate grade is expected, based on the Mintek test work, to be relatively high grade i.e., above the Moroccan benchmark grade of 32 - 33% P2O5.

Figure 3: Process Flow Diagram

==> picture [360 x 432] intentionally omitted <==

DRA have derived costs based on their internal data base and experience in African mining projects that:

  • the capex would be USD $54.8m; and

  • the operating cost would be USD $25.12/t of phosphate rock recovered.

Tailings Storage Facility

SRK Consulting (“ SRK ”) was commissioned to conduct a technical and financial evaluation of establishing a 1.0mtpa tailings storage facility (“ TSF ”). SRK derived costs based on their internal data base and experience in African mining projects which indicate that:

  • the capex would be USD $6.8m; and

  • the operating cost would be USD $0.50/t of phosphate rock recovered.

Phosphate Rock Transport and Ship Loading

Ports of Africa (“ POA ”) was commissioned to conduct a technical and economic evaluation of the viability of the logistics of transport by road and ship loading of 1.0mtpa of phosphate rock from the Cacata processing plant to a new ship loading site located 7km from the town of Cacongo.

As part of the Scoping Study, POA carried out a data collection exercise, made a site visit to review potential port sites and assessed existing infrastructure. Based on this and their experience in Africa POA proposed that:

  • a 20kt phosphate rock covered bulk storage and truck loading facility will be required at the processing plant site, as shown in Figure 4 ;

Figure 4: Bulk Storage & Bulk Loading Facility

==> picture [475 x 221] intentionally omitted <==

  • the phosphate rock product will be transported on existing tarred roads to a new port site just north of the coastal port town of Cacongo, 90km from the Cacata deposit, (as shown in Figure 5 ); and

==> picture [466 x 292] intentionally omitted <==

POA has derived costs from their internal database of projects and experience in African mining projects which indicated that:

  • the capex would be USD $22.5m for the construction of the product handling, storage and loading equipment at the Cacata mine site and the purchase of road trucks;

  • the capex would be USD $57.5m for the construction of the new port area loading equipment and the purchase of marine fleet;

  • the operating cost would be USD $13.63/t for road transport of phosphate rock from Cacata mine site to new port area; and

  • the operating cost would be USD $3.25/t for ship loading of phosphate rock.

Infrastructure

The following infrastructure has been allowed for in the capex:

  • offices;

  • power generation (5 mw) by diesel generators;

  • 7km of new tarred road and internal haul roads;

  • water reticulation;

  • housing recreation and messing facilities;

  • workshops for mining, processing, phosphate rock, transport and ship loading;

  • security and fencing;

  • fire fighting;

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

  • change houses;

  • sewerage disposal;

  • communications and IT; and

  • fuel storage.

Capital Cost

The total capital cost has been estimated at USD $157.1m (including EPCM and contingency) as detailed below in Table 2 :

Table 2: Capital Costs

Description **Cost USD$m **
Mining $9.5
Processing Plant $54.8
Tailings Storage Facility $6.8
Product Storage & Transport (Land) $22.5
Product Storage & Loading (Sea) $57.5
Owners Costs $6.0
Total $157.1

The capital cost estimate includes the purchase of the mining fleet and the road haulage fleet; this could be reduced by approximately USD $18m utilising a contract mining and road haulage fleet approach. A further possible capital cost saving could be achieved by outsourcing the Marine operation; this will be investigated in the BFS.

Operating Costs

The cash operating cost has been estimated at USD $57.22/t FOB Cabinda of phosphate rock as follows, as shown in Table 3 :

Table 3: Operating Costs

Description **Cost USD$/t **
Mining $5.72
Processing Plant $25.12
Tailings Storage Facility $0.50
Product Transport (Land) $13.63
Product Loading (Sea) $3.25
General and Administration $9.00
Total $57.22

The operating cost is based on owner operator road transport derived from first principles. From an initial estimate by a transport contractor, a saving is expected in utilising the contractor approach and this will be investigated during the BFS.

The operating cost is based on diesel on site power generation. A 35Mw power station is currently being constructed in Cabinda. During the BFS this option will be investigated as it could also provide an operating cost savings.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

Marketing and Product Pricing

At the target production rate of 0.8mtpa of phosphate rock product, the Cacata project will have a 10 year LOM. Current market analysis shows that this product will be in demand and readily absorbed by the market. Our base case analysis has assumed a selling price of USD $180/t[3] FOB Cabinda as follows:

  • CRU has developed a model for estimating the likely pricing of a new phosphate rock product entering the market which has taken into consideration the phosphate rock grade, chemical characteristics and CRU's knowledge of actual phosphate rock contract provisions.

  • This analysis has determined that the Cacata phosphate rock is likely to trade at an approximately 9% premium to the Moroccan benchmark price which has had an average price in 2012 of USD $193.90 (USD $211.35 with 9% premium) compared to the revenue per ton used of USD $180 in the cash flow model.

Financial Model

The results of cash flow model developed from the scoping study are shown in Table 4 and are as follows:

  • the cash flow model is a base case scenario and does not take into account the potential upside as a result of contracting out all or part of operations; and

  • the cash flow model has been prepared on a pre-debt funding and before tax and duties basis and as a result does not show the benefits of leverage or after tax cash flows.

Table 4: Financial Model

Per Tonne Total
(USD$) (USD$ 000)
Revenue 180.00 1,358,460
Direct Mining Costs
Mining 5.72 43,174
Processing 25.12 189,567
Tailings Storage Facility 0.50 3,773
Product Transport (Land) 13.63 102,903
Product Transport(Sea) 3.25 24,539
Direct Mine Costs 48.22 363,956
General and Admin 9.00 67,923
Total Operating Costs 57.22 431,879
Total Cash Produced 122.78 926,581

When compared to the previously published CRU report that investigated a cost curve positioning, the project has the following characteristics:

  • an operating cost of USD $57.22/t will place the project in the lower half of the cost curve; and

  • the capex cost of USD $157m, places the project in the lower half of the capital intensity cost curve (capital/production per annum) with an enhanced possibility of reducing this to a bottom quartile capital intensity project during the BFS.

The scoping study demonstrates the robust nature of the Cacata high grade project, resulting in the immediate commencement of a BFS.

Beneficiation Testwork

During the financial year, the Company received positive results from beneficiation testwork on diamond drill core. The objective of the testwork program was to determine the cut-off grade for Cacata deposit which distinguished between material which can be upgraded by scrubbing only and that which requires milling and floatation to upgrade.

For the purposes of the scoping study, an assumption was made that the cut-off grade would be 26% P2O5 for “scrubable” material at a recovery of 77%.

Following the completion of the testwork, in summary, the conclusions are that:

  • The material grading +23% P2O5 can be upgraded by wet screening and scrubbing thus potentially increasing the quantity of ‘scrubable’ material at Cacata and thereby affording the options to either increase the life of the project the mine with a basic low cost, non-flotation processing circuit, or allow the throughput and production to be increased.

  • The phosphate material grading 16% to 23% P2O5 is upgradable by milling and floatation to +33% P2O5.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

Phosphoric Acid Test Work

During the year the Company engaged leading global fertilizer company Yara to undertake test work to characterise the quality of phosphoric acid and DAP produced from Cacata Phosphate rock.

The test work demonstrated that:

  • The Cacata phosphate can be successfully processed in the dehydrate phosphoric acid route. The Phosphate rock provided excellent process performance.

  • The level of Cadmium is similar to that found in other commercial rocks.

  • Filtration properties of the phosphoric acid slurry were excellent.

  • Water soluable losses were low, enabling a total P2O5 efficiency in excess of 96% to be achieved, which is at the high end of the normal commercial range.

  • Concentration of the weak acid to commercial merchant grade 50% P2O5 product was achieved.

  • DAP production has high values for both N and P2O5 in excess of the internationally accepted standard for DAP 18:46:0

Outlook

It is expected that this project will allow Minbos to establish credibility in the global phosphate rock market and thereafter, with a robust cash flow, provide options for the development of the much larger Western Projects.

The Company’s confidence in the robustness of the project economics has already led the partners to commence work on several long lead items of the BFS such as diamond drilling to upgrade mineral resource estimates and environmental work at the mine and port sites.

(b) Chivovo deposit

The Chivovo Project lies within the same mineralised structure as Cacata and is in close proximity to Cacata. The high grade nature of its deposit will allow it to be assessed as a potential input into the BFS Cacata Project.

The project currently has an Inferred resource estimate of 6.7Mt @ 20.3% P2O5. Drilling previously carried out in early 2012 is expected to upgrade the deposit to an Indicated Mineral Resource estimate category.

(c) Cambota deposit

Cambota is the third deposit identified in the Eastern Limb. Initial drill results confirm the potential high grade nature of the deposit and confirm the Company’s understanding that the Eastern Limb is host to smaller but high grade deposits. Additional drilling will be carried out to further test the potential of Cambota.

(d) Future Exploration

The Cacata and Chivovo deposits are located 40km along strike from each other. Both deposits lie within what Minbos describes an Eastern Limb geological structure and appears to host discrete, high grade deposits.

Project geologists have identified the geochemical ‘signature’ for Cacata and Chivovo and plan to explore the area between the two deposits during the next dry season. Importantly, the Cambota deposit has already been identified (almost half way between Cacata and Chivovo).

3. DRC PROJECT OVERVIEW

(a) 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. Historical work included approximately 4,000 metres of drilling and some initial beneficiation test-work.

The DRC phosphate prospects lie contiguous to the eastern portion of Minbos’ licences in Cabinda, are a direct extension of the Cabinda prospects and local occurrences of phosphate continue across DRC towards the Congo River.

On 1 August 2012, the Company announced the signing of a Joint Venture agreement (“JV”) with Allamanda Trading Limited (“Allamanda”) for the exploration and development of the Kanzi project and surrounding exploration areas in the western DRC. The JV company, Phosphalux SPRL (“Phosphalux”), is a special purpose DRC registered company, which undertakes the exploration activities across the Kanzi mining permit and several exploration licences, held by Allamanda. Minbos, through its 100% owned subsidiary Agrim SPRL (“Agrim”), holds a 65% interest in Phosphalux.

Subsequent to this announcement the Board was presented with a side agreement by Allamanda that was purportedly entered into concurrently with the signing of the original JV agreement by Agrim, without the knowledge or consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, which seeks to apportion Minbos a 49% interest in the economic benefit of the Licences which form the Kanzi project, with a 51% economic interest held by Allamanda.

The Company has obtained preliminary legal advice in relation to the validity of this side agreement because it was executed without proper authority from the Board of Minbos. The advice has confirmed that the side agreement is open to legal challenge. Minbos is actively engaging with Allamanda to resolve this issue in a positive manner with the aim to re-establish a JV structure that is more amenable to external funding.

The licences held by Allamanda and their work status are summarised in Table 6 and illustrated in Figure 8 below.

(b) Kanzi Deposit

During the previous financial year, the Company announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource of 46Mt @ 17.2% P2O5 (including a high grade zone of 31Mt @ 21.4% P2O5) which was upgraded in August 2102 by 42% increase in high grade resources to 44Mt @ 21.4% P2O5 (up from 31Mt @ 21.4% P2O5); and an overall resource increase to 66Mt @ 15.3% P2O5 (up from 46Mt @ 17.2% P2O5).

During the current financial year the Company announced a further upgrade in the resource from Inferred to an Indicated Mineral Resource of 58.5Mt @ 14.2% P2O5. Details are provided in Table 5 below.

Scoping Study

In November 2012, the Company announced the completion of a scoping study on the Kanzi Phosphate Project to assess the viability of establishing a 1Mtpa phosphate rock export operation for a minimum life of mine (“LOM”) of 17 years.

The scoping study delivered the following positive results:[4][4]

  • Operating costs of USD $56.19 per tonne free-on-board (“ FOB ”) of phosphate rock;

  • Capital cost estimate of USD $106m (excluding contingency), based on owner operated mining;

  • Strong opportunity to reduce both operating expenditure and capital expenditure during the BFS;

  • IRR of 58 % (pre-tax); and

  • NPV of USD $626m (pre-tax) at a 10% discount rate.

General

The scoping study is based on the JORC Inferred Resource quoted for the Kanzi deposit. The upgraded resource for Kanzi will provide the basis for the BFS.

Mining

Coffey Mining (“ Coffey ”) was commissioned to conduct an evaluation of the viability of mining a high grade portion of the Kanzi deposit.

Minbos has identified the Kanzi project area, a 26.07Mt “pitable” resource for development identified three mining areas in the Kanzi mineral resource block to be used for mine design purposes. Coffey has applied a 5% mining loss to the mineral resources as well as a 5% dilution factor. Coffey Mining has assumed all dilution to have zero P2O5 content, albeit some of the dilution will contain P2O5.

The Coffey report concluded that using a truck and shovel approach, the high grade portion of the Kanzi deposit could be mined at a 1.65Mtpa of Run of Mine (“ ROM ”) at a strip ratio of 7.1:1 (waste to ROM). This will produce 1.0Mtpa of phosphate rock, at an average grade of 32% P2O5, with a recovery of 60%.

4 4 Amounts quoted are for 100% of the project.

18 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

The economic evaluation was based on the mining equipment being purchased and operated by the Owner. Coffey has also made allowances for replacement capital of USD $16.27m (excluding contingency) during the 17 year LOM.

Coffey has derived mining costs from its experience in West African mining projects. The capital cost (“Capex”) and operating costs (“Opex”) are:

  • Initial Capex USD $14.24m (excluding contingency);

  • Additional equipment purchases of USD $8.2m in years 2 and 4 to bring Kanzi into full production; and

  • Average Opex USD $13.45/t phosphate rock produced.

Processing

Set Point Laboratories was commissioned to conduct an initial beneficiation testwork program on 6 composite samples (KZ1 – KZ6).

The testwork concluded that the preferred processing route for the high grade portion of the Kanzi deposit is a basic scrubbing and selective screening operation, which by its nature is a low energy consumer and is operator friendly.

The processing route is as follows:

  • The ROM is passed through an attrition scrubber to remove lumps and clay agglomerates;

  • Attrition scrubber discharges over a de-sliming screen;

  • The screen undersize is further de-slimed and the oversize is discarded;

  • The phosphate rock concentrate is de-watered in a vacuum belt filter and then passed through a drier to produce a 2 - 3% moisture content phosphate rock; and

  • The concentrate grade is expected, based on the testwork, to be similar to Moroccan benchmark grade of 31 - 33% P2O5.

Capex and Opex have been derived from first principals based on the beneficiation testwork and the infrastructure requirements of the Kanzi Project. Certain costs, where applicable, were factored from costs in the Cacata scoping study. The Capex and Opex are:

  • Capex: USD $50.58m (excluding contingency); and

  • Opex: USD $24.59/t of phosphate rock produced.

Tailings Storage Facility

The Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”) is based on the Cacata TSF design done by SRK. SRK derived costs assessed on their internal database and experience in West African mining projects. The Capex and Opex are:

  • Capex: USD $9.7m (excluding contingency); and

  • Opex: USD $0.50/t of phosphate rock produced.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Review of Operations

Phosphate Rock Logistics

The Capex and Opex are based on the Cacata Scoping Study and have been specifically adjusted to suit the Kanzi Project infrastructure and logistics requirements.

The logistics include the transporting by road and ship loading of 1.0Mtpa of phosphate rock from the Kanzi processing plant 35km by existing road to the operating port of Boma.

  • Capex: USD $17.6m (excluding contingency); and

  • Opex: USD $3.25/t of phosphate rock produced.

Infrastructure

The following infrastructure has been provided for in the Capex:

  • Offices;

  • Power generation by diesel generators;

  • Water reticulation;

  • Housing recreation and messing facilities;

  • Workshops for mining, processing and phosphate rock logistics;

  • Security and fencing;

  • Fire fighting;

  • Change houses;

  • Sewerage disposal;

  • Communications, IT; and

  • Bulk fuel storage.

Capital Cost

The Capex has been estimated at USD $106m (excluding contingency) as detailed below:

Marketing and Product Pricing

At the target production rate of 1Mtpa of phosphate rock product, the Kanzi Project currently has a 17-year life of mine. Current market analysis shows that this product will be in demand and readily absorbed by the market. Our base case analysis has assumed a selling price of USD $180/t FOB Boma.

Financial Model

The results of the cash flow model developed from the scoping study are as follows:

Cash on Cash Yield % 1454
Payback Period Years 1.66
IRR (pre-tax) % 58
Net Present Value@discount rate of 10%(pre-tax) US$M 625.98

The cash flow model is a base case scenario and does not take into account the potential upside as a result of contracting out all or part of operations and has been prepared on a pre-funding and EBITDA basis.

Kanzi is an important project for Minbos and a key building block for the Company in achieving its goal of becoming a low capex and opex phosphate rock producer and exporter.

Review of Operations

(c) Kanzi Development Program

Minbos remains focused on ‘fast-tracking’ the development of the Kanzi Project, particularly given its relatively high grade and access to road and port infrastructure.

A summary of the work program is shown below:

Exploration and Drilling

(a) Aircore Drilling

  • i. Wallis Drilling completed an aircore drilling program in November 2012.

  • ii. The immediate priority was to carry out infill drilling in the high grade areas to upgrade the current Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated – which will provide the basis for the commencement of the BFS on the project.

  • iii. This resource upgrade was complete and announced on 17 April 2013, with the Maiden JORC Inferred Resources of 46Mt @ 17.2 P2O5 being upgraded to an Indicated Resource of 58.5Mt @ 14.2 P2O5 in accordance with the JORC Guidelines.

Feasibility Study

  • (b) Bankable Feasibility Study

  • iv. Based on the similarities of the Kanzi and Cacata projects (grade, size, location and access to infrastructure) and the very robust financials results recently published from the Kanzi scoping study, Minbos will proceed with a BFS and is issuing scopes to consultants for completion of the study.

Exploration Upside

After the commencement of the Kanzi BFS, Minbos will start evaluating the potential of the regional exploration concessions held by the JV.

Historical exploration work has identified various zones of mineralisation at additional deposits throughout the licence areas. Outside the current resources at Kanzi, there exists significant exploration upside at Kanzi and Fundu-Nzobe. For example, Fundu-Nzobe (tenements 12905, 12913 and 12909) contains a historical (non-JORC) inventory of 70Mt @ 15% P2O5, including of 14Mt @ 19.5% P2O5.

7. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

A Operations

Minbos is a phosphate exploration company operating in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to acquire, explore, evaluate and exploit phosphate deposits, and explore prospective tenements for other minerals.

The Group creates value for shareholders, through exploration activities which develop and quantify phosphate assets. Once an asset has been developed and quantified within the framework of the JORC guidelines the Company may elect to move to production, to extract and refine ore which is then sold as a primary product.

The Group is actively exploring and developing two projects:

  • Cabinda Project, Angola; and

  • Kanzi Project, DRC.

Scoping studies have recently been performed on both projects, please refer to the Review of Operations for more information.

Financial Performance

The financial result for the year ended 30 June 2013 is a net loss after tax of $6,026,830 (2012: $7,919,244), as per the table above.

The Group is creating value for shareholders through its exploration expenditure and currently has no revenue generating operations. Revenue is generated from interest income for funds held on deposit, as the funds held on deposit have decreased during the year to $53,685 from $2,081,985 at 30 June 2012, accordingly the revenue has decreased 79% on the prior year.

During the year, administration expenses increased by 4% however share-based payments expense decreased 54%, likewise personnel expenses decreased 12% on the prior year, due to significant cost cutting within the African and Australian operations. Additionally the Company incurred costs of $2,966,304 (2012: $6,743,199) due to the impairment of the exploration and evaluation expenditure associated with the Kanzi Project as the Kanzi Joint Venture licences are still held in Allamanda and have not been transferred to the Joint Venture entity. Finance costs increased significantly to $256,440 or 1332% (2012: $17,910) due to the Company sourcing additional working capital from debt in the form of convertible notes which attract fees and interest rather than from equity. This change in funding source is due to the downturn in the equity markets during the financial year.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Directors’ Report

Financial Position

The Group’s main activity during the year was the investment of Cash in the Company’s African Projects, $2,074,885. The Group’s net assets decreased by 14%, due to the expenditure of cash for exploration & evaluation expenditure which was impaired and expensed at 30 June 2013. Additionally the increase in borrowings, including derivative financial liabilities, from nil in the prior year to $550,000 at 30 June 2013 has contributed to the overall decrease in net assets.

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 Group incurred a net loss of for the year of $6,026,830 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $4,482,970. At 30 June 2013 the Group had a net working capital deficiency of $576,926 (30 June 2012: net working capital of $2,307,268).

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the cGroup being able to raise additional funds as required to conduct a bankable feasibility study on its projects, fund 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 Group’s cash requirements.

On 8 July 2013, at the Company’s General Meeting, shareholders approved David Reeves convertible note facility of up to $250,000; the funds were received subsequent to year end.

On 22 August 2013, the Company announced that it expected to complete financing arrangements with a group of sophisticated investors to provide $250,000 in secured funding through the issue of convertible notes. The funds were received subsequent to year end and will be used to provide the Company with working capital as it works on longer term funding solutions.

The Directors believe that the Group will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

C Business Strategies and Prospects for future financial years

The Group actively evaluates the prospects of each project as results from each program become available, these results are available via the ASX platform for shareholders information. The Group then assesses the continued exploration expenditure and further asset development. The Group will continue the evaluation of its mineral projects in the future and undertake generative work to identify and acquire new resource projects.

There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Group and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Group and the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company’s shares.

a) Risk relating to renewal of Cabinda Exploration Licence

In order to undertake exploration activities on the Cabinda Project, a valid Exploration Licence is required. The existing Licence to the Cabinda Project, held by a subsidiary of the Company’s Joint Venture, Mongo Tando, Lda expired during the financial year. The Joint Venture has submitted the application for renewal of the Cabinda Project Licence and at the date of this report the Licence has not been renewed.

b) Operating Risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

c) Environmental Risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to the laws and regulations of Angola and the DRC concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

d) Economic

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

e) Market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • i. general economic outlook;

  • ii. introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • iii. interest rates and inflation rates;

  • iv. changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • v. the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • vi. terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

f) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income, the Company will require further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

g) Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether invest.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Directors’ Report

A Remuneration Philosophy

Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. Key management personnel of Minbos comprise the Board of Directors, the Chief Financial Officer (resigned 30 August 2013) and the Chief Executive Officer (resigned 6 December 2012).

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its key management personnel. To prosper the Company must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled Directors and Executives.

The Group’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 Structure and Approvals

Remuneration of Directors is currently set by the Board of Directors. The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee at this point in the Group's development, nor has the Board engaged the services of an external remuneration consultant. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Group renders this impractical and the full Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible.

Non-Executive Remuneration Structure

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. From May 2013 the Board agreed to defer all Non-Executive Director fees and accrue them for the purpose of this report. The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors 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 Non-Executive Director pool at the 2013 Annual General Meeting.

Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is based on fees approved by the Board of Directors and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Non-Executive Directors do not receive retirement benefits but are able to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy.

The remuneration of Non-Executives is detailed in Table 1, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.

Non-Executive Remuneration Approvals

The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, sets the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, subject to shareholder approval. Within this pre-approved aggregate remuneration pool, fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are approved by the Board of Directors in the absence of the Remuneration Committee and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Remuneration may also include an invitation to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy.

The nature and amount of remuneration is collectively considered by the Board of Directors with reference to relevant employment conditions and fees commensurate to a company of similar size and level of activity, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of high performing Directors and Executives.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Directors’ Report

Executive Remuneration Structure

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 Executives.

The main objectives sought when reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has:

  • Coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain executives;

  • Executives 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 Group, the performance of the Executives and the general pay environment.

The remuneration of Executives is detailed in Table 1, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.

Executive Remuneration Approvals

The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and aligned with market practice. 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 independent of management.

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 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.

C Remuneration & Performance

Short Term Incentive Package

During the financial year the Board appointed Mr Sullivan as Managing Director and offered him a short term incentive package as part of his Executive Services Agreement. Mr Sullivan is eligible for a short term incentive package of up to 30% of his salary, payable in cash or shares, or a combination of both, as agreed between the Company and the Executives. This short term incentive package is based upon consideration of key performance indicators of Mr Sullivan, which the Company may set from time to time. At the date of this report the Company has not set any key performance indicators for Mr Sullivan.

There were no short term incentive based payments made during the financial year (2012: nil).

37 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Directors’ Report

Long Term Incentive Package

Remuneration Plan:

During the financial year the Board implemented an employee share plan to deliver remuneration in the form of equity in Minbos Resources Limited which, under the Minbos Board’s discretion, may be awarded from time to time. The employee share plan was approved at the Company’s General Meeting on 14 March 2013 and the purpose is to:

  • Support employee retention;

  • Enhance employee involvement and focus; and

  • Increase wealth distribution among the employees.

On 14 March 2013, at the General Meeting of the Company, shareholders approved the issue of 6,000,000 shares to Mr Sullivan under the employee share plan. The shares have been issued at $0.04 per share with a total value of $240,000 and will be held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan until the vesting conditions are satisfied. For further details regarding the vesting conditions refer to Note 25: Employee Share Plan Reserve.

During the financial year the Board also approved and issued 2,000,000 shares to Mr Carter under the employee share plan. These shares have been issued at $0.04 per share with a total value of $80,000 and will be held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan until the vesting conditions are satisfied. For further details regarding the vesting conditions refer to Note 25: Employee Share Plan Reserve.

Options:

The Board feels that the expiry date and exercise price of the options currently on issue to the Directors, other Key Management Personnel and its Executives is a sufficient, long term incentive to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Subsequently, 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 Group’s performance.

To date, 18,750,000 options are on issue, of which 8,000,000 have been issued to Key Management Personnel. There were no options granted to Key Management Personnel during the financial year, nor were shares issued upon exercise of options. As at the date of this report no options have been exercised nor did any options lapse. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company.

Table 2 provides details on the value of options not yet vested and Table 3 provides details of options granted to Key Management Personnel.

1.1 Companies
should
establish
the
functions reserved to the board and
those delegated to senior executives
and disclose those functions.
The Directors guide and monitor the business affairs of the
Company on behalf of Shareholders and have formally
adopted a corporate governance policy which is designed to
encourage
Directors
to
focus
their
attention
on
accountability, risk management and ethical conduct. This is

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Corporate Governance Statement

2. Structure the board to add value
2.1 A majority of the board should be
independent directors.
Mr Ciganek was not deemed to be independent during the
period due to a consultancy mandate with the Company.
Mr Reeves was not deemed to be independent during the
period as he is a substantial shareholder of the Company.
Mr Domingos was not deemed to be independent during
the period as he is a substantial shareholder of the
Company.
Mr Sullivan was not deemed to be independent during the
period as he is an Executive Director of the Company.
Mr Richard was not deemed to be independent during the
period as he was an Executive Director of the Company for
4 months. Mr Richards was subsequently a Non-Executive
Director of the Company for 8 months of the period
however is not considered to be independent for a period
of 3 years following the ceasing of the Executive role.
Mr Oliver was appointed subsequent to the end of the
reporting period as a Non-Executive Director and is
considered to be independent.
As at the date of signing this report, one member of the
Board is an independent director. Please refer to Point
2.1a below for further explanation.
2.2 The chair should be an independent
director.
During 8 months of the period, the role of Chairman was
performed by a Non-Executive Director, who is considered
independent. The Chairman is currently not independent
due to him fulfilling the chair position in an executive
capacity. The Company intends to seek out and appoint an
independent chairman in the future; however, due to the
current limited size of the Company’s operations it may
not be appropriate to appoint an independent chairman
for some time. Please refer to Point 2.1a below for further
explanation.
2.3 The roles of chair and chief executive
officer should not be exercised by the
same individual.
The Chief Executive Officer was performed by Robert
McCrae up until his resignation. During this time the role
of Chief Executive Officer was not being fulfilled by the
Executive Chairman. Since the departure of Robert
McCrae the Company has not had a replacement Chief
Executive Officer, the Company has however appointed
Scott Sullivan to the role of Managing Director. Due to the
current size of the Company’s operations, the Board does
not deem it necessary to, in addition to a Managing
Director, appoint a Chief Executive Officer at this time.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

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.

Currently the Chairman holds an executive position on the Board and Messrs Reeves and Catulichi are substantial shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares in the Company, therefore deeming them to be not independent.

Mr Ciganek is not deemed to be independent as the Company entered into a consultancy mandate with Everspring Partners, a private company that Mr Ciganek holds a directorship and equity interest in, to provide commercial and financial assistance to Minbos in respect of identifying, tendering and securing potential strategic investors in the Company. Everspring Partners received a monthly retainer of $10,000 per month; reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses, and a success fee equal to 3% of any investment in Minbos either at the corporate level, project level and/or off-take agreement value, which will be payable at financial close. The agreement was terminated with Everspring Partners in March 2013 following Mr Ciganek’s resignation from the Board.

Mr Oliver was appointed subsequent to the end of the reporting period as a Non-Executive Director and is considered to be independent.

The Company currently maintains a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience, however, is aware of the importance of having a Board with a majority of its directors being independent. With this is mind the Company intends to seek out and appoint independent directors to the Board in order to meet the ASX recommendation of maintaining a majority of independent Non-Executive Directors.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Minbos Resources Limited (referred to as ‘Minbos’ or the ‘Company’ or Parent Entity’) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the Corporate Directory of the annual report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013 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

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Minbos Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 26 September 2013.

(a) Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

(b) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2012 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods.

(c) Early adoption of standards

The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2012.

(d) 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 $6,026,830 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $4,482,970. At 30 June 2013 the Consolidated Entity had a net working capital deficiency of $576,926 (30 June 2012: net working capital of $2,307,268).

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 conduct a bankable feasibility study on its projects, fund 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.

On 8 July 2013, at the Company’s General Meeting, shareholders approved David Reeves convertible note facility of up to $250,000; the funds were received subsequent to year end.

63 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

On 22 August 2013, the Company announced that it expected to complete financing arrangements with a group of sophisticated investors to provide $250,000 in secured funding through the issue of convertible notes. The funds were received subsequent to year end and will be used to provide the Company with working capital as it works on longer term funding solutions.

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. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Consolidated Entity not continue as a going concern.

  • (e) Critical accounting 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 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 Group.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. 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 8: Income Tax Expense - 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. No tax liabilities are recognised in 2013 (2012: nil) for the group.

  • (ii) Note 14: Exploration and evaluation expenditure - The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 3(i). 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. At 30 June 2013, Allamanda continued to hold the Kanzi Joint Venture licences, accordingly the Group has impaired the exploration expenditure incurred during the financial year until the licences are transferred to the Joint Venture entity.

  • (iii) Note 19: Convertible note derivatives – The fair value of the convertible note derivative has been determined by computing the fair value of the Collateral Shares and the Convertible Security which were issued to Lind during the period. To determine the average 3 daily VWAP of Minbos as at maturity, the Company has used a Monte Carlo simulation. This simulation also takes into account the exercise price, the term of the security, the Company’s share price at reporting period, the expected volatility of the underlying share price and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). The expected volatility is based upon two year historical volatility adjusted for abnormal spikes in the Company’s share price.

  • (iv) Note 24: Share-based payments - The Group measures the cost of equity settled share based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Binomial option pricing model and/or the Monte Carlo option pricing 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.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Minbos Resources Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Minbos Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.

(ii) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised as reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Groups’ interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(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 Limited.

65 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 interest 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) 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.

(c) Foreign currency translation

(i) 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 (ZAR).

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investments in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet,

  • Income and expenses for each income statement and statements of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

  • All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

66 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(d) Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

(i) Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense for the financial year 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. 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.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(f) 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 acquiree 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.

(g) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and 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 may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The 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 which 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 impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(h) 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 Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts. Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

68 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(j) 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 Consolidated 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 4: Financial Risk Management.

(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.

(iv) 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income. 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(k) Plant and equipment

(i) Owned assets

Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses.

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 Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of 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 Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as an expense as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income using a straight line method over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment.

The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • Computer equipment: 3 years

  • Vehicles: 5 years

  • Office equipment: 6 to 10 years

The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.

(l) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure, 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 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.

70 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 plant and equipment.

(m) 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 reporting period 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.

(n) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(o) Borrowings Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

(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 costs using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

(i) Convertible note liability and derivative

Convertible note issued by the Company comprise a convertible note that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder and a convertible note derivative whose fair value changes with the Company’s underlying share price.

The liability component of a convertible note is recognised initially at fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The embedded derivative component is firstly recognised at fair value and the liability component is calculated as the difference between the financial instruments as a whole and the value of the derivative at inception. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the convertible note liability and convertible note derivative in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. The fair value of the derivative portion has been valued using a valuation technique including inputs that include reference to similar instruments and options pricing models. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of the convertible note is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The convertible note derivative is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

71 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The convertible note liability and derivatives are removed from the Consolidate Statement of Financial Position when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged. This can occur upon the option holder exercising their option or the option period lapses requiring the Company to discharge the obligation. Both the convertible note liability and derivative are classified as current liability as the option holder has the right to convert at any time.

(q) Provisions

A provision is recognised in the Consolidated 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.

(r) Employee benefits

(i) Share-based payments

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 and Binomial option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted including market conditions attached to the grant. 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.

72 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(s) 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 in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

(t) Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the year in which they are paid and appropriately authorised.

(u) 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.

(v) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. 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.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors.

The main risks arising for the Group are foreign exchange risk, price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar.

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. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Since the 100% acquisition of Tunan Mining Limited and its subsidiaries in October 2010, the Group has entered into foreign currency transactions and therefore has been exposed to foreign currency risk.

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.

(ii) Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk on its financial liabilities.

The Group has no policy for mitigating potential adversities associated with its own equity price risk given its dependence on market fluctuations.

As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following equity price risk profile in relation to its financial liabilities:

Convertible note derivative 30-Jun-13
30-Jun-12
$
$ (231,881)
-

Sensitivity

The Group is exposed to equity price risk on its derivative as the exercise price on the derivative moves in equal proportions with any movement of the Company’s share price. The Directors however believe that any change to its convertible note derivative will not have a material impact on the profit or loss of the Group.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk due to variable interest being earned on its interest-bearing bank accounts. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following interest-bearing financial instruments:

Cash & cash equivalents 30-Jun-13
30-Jun-12

$ Weighted
average

2,081,985

Sensitivity

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 2013, 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:

The other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

(b) 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 Consolidated 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(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.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions.

The Directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Group on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.

The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business, borrowings and derivative financial instruments related to the convertible note. Trade payables were non-interest bearing and were deducted within the normal 30-60 day terms of creditor payments. Interest is payable at 12% per annum in arrears on a monthly basis on the outstanding convertible note to Management.

(d) Fair value estimation

(i) Cash & cash equivalent

The carrying amount is fair value, due to the liquid nature of these assets.

(ii) Other receivables

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

(iii) Convertible note liability

The convertible note liability is recorded at its fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iv) Convertible note derivative

The convertible note derivative is recorded at its fair value.

(v) Fair value measurement hierarchy

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • (a) Level 1 – the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

  • (b) Level 2 – a valuation technique is used using inputs other than quoted priced within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); or

  • (c) Level 3 – a valuation technique is sued using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The table below classifies financial instruments recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position according to the fair value measurement hierarchy stipulated in AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based upon quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group makes a number of assumptions based upon observable market data existing at each reporting period.

The fair value of the convertible note derivative is determined using an option pricing model based upon various inputs at the end of the reporting period. These instruments are classified as level 2 financial liabilities.

(d) Deferred tax assets and liabilities not brought to account
On income tax account:
Carried forward tax losses
Deductible temporary differences
Unrecognised deferred tax assets
The directors estimate that the potential deferred tax assets and liabilities carried

rate of 30% are made up as follows:

The Group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $3,903,589 (tax effected at 30%, $1,171,077) as at 30 June 2013 (2012: $2,203,368 (tax effected at 30%, $661,010)). In view of the Group's trading position, the Directors have not included this tax benefit in the Group's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 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

(a) Basic loss per share

The calculation of basic loss per share at 30 June 2013 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $6,026,830 (2012: $7,919,244) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2013 of 126,604,880 (2012: 84,442,526) calculated as follows:

  • (i) On 1 August 2012 the Company announced the signing of a Joint Venture agreement with Allamanda Trading SPRL (“Allamanda”) for the exploration and development of the Kanzi project and surrounding exploration areas in the western Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”). In order to earn a 65% interest in the joint venture entity, Phosphalux SPRL, Minbos has provided initial funding of USD$600,000 for the incorporation of Phosphalux SPRL. Minbos has issued 2,600,000 shares and paid a fee of USD$162,500 to consultants who facilitated the agreement.

  • (ii) During February 2013, Minbos was presented with a side agreement by Allamanda that was purportedly entered into concurrently with the signing of the original JV agreement by Agrim, without the knowledge or consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, which seeks to apportion Minbos a 49% interest in the economic benefit of the Licences which form the Kanzi project, with a 51% economic interest held by Allamanda.

The Company has obtained preliminary legal advice in relation to the validity of this side agreement because it was executed without proper authority from the Board of Minbos. The advice has confirmed that the side agreement is open to legal challenge. The Directors are considering the Company’s options in relation to any damages, if any, owed to it in relation to this matter and believe it has accurately reflected the impact of this matter in the financial statements. Minbos is actively engaging with Allamanda to resolve this issue in a positive manner.

At 30 June 2013, Allamanda continued to hold the Kanzi Joint Venture licences, accordingly the Group has impaired the exploration expenditure incurred during the financial year until the licences are transferred to the Joint Venture entity.

This note provides information about the contractual items of the Group’s interest-bearing borrowings. For more information about the Group’s exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk, see note 4.

(a) Convertible notes – Lind Facility

On 7 March 2013, the Company entered into a funding agreement with Lind Partners, LLC, the manager of the Australian Special Opportunity Fund, LP (together “Lind”). The facility was for an initial $300,000 convertible security and $75,000 as a prepayment for ordinary shares in Minbos. In accordance with the funding agreement, Lind would then invest a further $50,000 to $200,000 in monthly subscriptions (“Tranche Shares”) for a maximum facility of $4,975,000.

On execution and in accordance with the funding agreement, the Company issued the following securities to Lind:

  • 2,227,722 shares at $0.0606 in satisfaction of Commencement Fee of $135,000,

  • 1,000,000 Collateral Shares to be held as security for funds advanced in monthly tranches. These shares may be purchased in future to satisfy tranche funding repayments, and

  • 1,150,000 options, exercise price $0.0937, expiry 8 March 2016. Refer Note 24 Share-based Payments, for the model inputs used under the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

On 14 March 2013, the Company received $375,000 from Lind, being $300,000 for the Convertible Security and $75,000 being Tranche 1 of funds advanced under the Tranche Shares. In April 2013, the Company converted Tranche 1 into 2,586,207 shares at $0.029 per share.

On 16 April 2013, the Company received $75,000 from Lind, being Tranche 2 of funds advanced under the Tranche Shares. In May 2013, the Company converted Tranche 2 into 5,000,000 shares at $0.015 per share.

On 16 May 2013, the Company received $50,000 from Lind, being Tranche 3 funds advanced under the Tranche Shares. In June 2013 the Company decided to repay Tranche 3 and agreed to terminate the funding agreement. In accordance with the funding agreement, the Company had the option to repay in cash, at 105% of tranche amounts, rather than issue tranche shares when the purchase price is less than the floor price, being $0.045 and may elect to terminate the funding agreement.

Key terms of the Lind Funds Agreement

(i) Convertible securities

The Convertible Security with Lind may be converted into fully paid ordinary shares of the Company at any time at the discretion of Lind in the period from 5 July 2013 to 7 March 2015. Conversion shares are calculated based on conversion amount divided by conversion price being 91% of average 3 consecutive days VWAP during 20 days immediately prior to the relevant conversion notice. Conversion occurs by Lind providing a conversion notice of no less than one business day prior notice during that period or occurs automatically at 7 March 2015 at a 5 day VWAP before the last day of the term. As Lind can request conversion with not less than one business days’ notice, the convertible security is treated as a current liability.

91 | P a g e

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

There is no interest payable on the convertible securities and no cash payment obligation by the Company.

(ii) Advances/prepayment for shares

The number of tranche shares issued was determined by the tranche amount, divided by purchase price. Lind could elect the purchase price to be either 91% of the average 3 consecutive days VWAP during 20 days prior to issuance of shares or 130% of average daily VWAP during 20 days prior to issuance of shares being $0.0937. The election for 130% was only available for 1 tranche.

(iii) Collateral shares

At the end of the 24 month term or if the agreement is terminated, any outstanding collateral shares at expiry/termination are to be paid back in cash, based on 91% of average 3 day daily VWAP during 20 days prior to payment date or at 90% of fair market value at date of payment if the company shares were suspended or ceased to be listed on the ASX.

Collateral shares are not restricted, Lind can sell, assign or mortgage the shares to satisfy undischarged obligation.

(b) Convertible note - Management

On 2 April 2013 (“Execution Date”), the Company signed a convertible note deed with James Carter (former Chief Financial Officer and former joint Company Secretary) who agreed to provide the Company with $250,000 under a convertible note facility. The conversion price of the convertible note is $0.063, being 150% of the 20 Trading Day VWAP calculated on the Execution Date. Interest is payable monthly in arrears at a rate of 12% per annum with principal repayment or conversion in 9 months from the date of first drawdown.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period all current outstanding convertible note holders became secured convertible note holders pursuant to the execution of a general security deed with the Company.

19. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Pursuant to accounting standards, the collateral shares and the embedded derivative option component of the convertible note with Lind is classified as a derivative financial liability (refer to account policy note 3(p)). The value of the derivative fluctuates with the Company’s underlying share price and is re-valued at each reporting date.

(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 is equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2013

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

25. EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN RESERVE

(a) Fair value of employee shares granted during the year

During the financial year the Board implemented an employee share plan to deliver remuneration in the form of equity in Minbos Resources Limited which, under the Minbos Board’s discretion, may be awarded from time to time. The employee share plan was approved at the Company’s general meeting on 14 March 2013 and the purpose is to:

  • Support employee retention;

  • Enhance employee involvement and focus; and

  • Increase wealth distribution among the employees.

Employee Share Plan – Scott Sullivan

On 14 March 2013, at the general meeting of the Company, shareholders approved the issue of 6,000,000 shares to Mr Sullivan under the employee share plan. The shares have been issued at $0.04 per share with a total value of $240,000 and will be held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan until the vesting conditions are satisfied.

Mr Sullivan’s remuneration is subject to the following vesting conditions;

  • (i) 2,000,000 shares shall vest when the Company’s share price equals the higher of:

  • at the 6 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Company’s share price calculated 3 days before and 3 days after the General Meeting where shareholders approved Minbos Resources Limited Employee Limited Share Plan; or

  • $0.14; and

  • The vesting period is assumed at 14 March 2013 as no vesting date is specified, (Tranche One) and no service conditions were attached to Tranche One;

  • (ii) 2,000,000 shares to vest one year from Commencement Date, being 1 November 2013 (Vesting Period 1) and when the Company’s share price equals or exceeds a vesting price of Tranche One plus 50% increase during the period from Commencement Date (Tranche Two) (if Tranche One Shares vest at $0.14, Tranche Two shares will vest at $0.21);

  • (iii) 2,000,000 shares to vest two years from Commencement Date, being 1 November 2014 (Vesting Period 2) and when the Company’s share price equals or exceeds a vesting price of Tranche One plus 100% increase during the period from Commencement Date (Tranche Three) (if Tranche One Shares vest at $0.14, Tranche Three shares will vest at $0.28); and

In the event of termination, in all cases except termination by the Company with reason, or in the case of a change of control event, the shares will vest automatically, in accordance with Mr Sullivan’s executive services agreement.

Due to these vesting conditions being dependent on certain market conditions being achieved, the Company has adopted a Hybrid Option Pricing Model. The model inputs are shown in the table below:

In the event of termination, in all cases except where there are grounds for termination by the Company, or in the case of a change of control event, the shares will vest automatically, in accordance with Mr Carter’s executive services agreement.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 wholly-owned subsidiary of Mongo Tando Limited, whereby Tunan Mining Limited (BVI) and its Associate each hold a 50% interest.

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 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(a), 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 company’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 company’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.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

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 2013 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(a).

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(d) in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the consolidated entity’s tenements. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 2(d), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2013. 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 2013 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
