3. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Minbos Resources Limited is an exploration company focused on the development of phosphate bearing ore within the Cabinda Province of Angola.
4. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
(a) GROUP OVERVIEW
Minbos is an exploration and development company focused on phosphate deposits within the Cabinda Province of Angola and the adjoining areas of the far western DRC. Through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, Minbos is focussing on the development of the high grade Cacata project in Cabinda whilst growing its current resource base in incremental stages on the remaining deposits in Angola.
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 biofuel products.
(b) HIGHLIGHTS
The highlights during and subsequent to the end of the financial year include:
Cabinda Project - During the year under review Minbos made substantial progress on the issue of new licences for the Cabinda project. The new licences are expected to be issued in the near future.
In December 2014 Minbos and its 50% Joint Venture Partner Petril (JV partners) signed 2 Mining Investment Agreements (MIA) with the Ministry of Geology (MGM) one for the Cacata deposit and second for the remainder of the Cabinda project deposits (Chivovo, Ueca, Mongo Tando, Chibuete and Cabota). The Mining Code of Angola determines that a concession of Mining Rights are undertaken through a MIA. The MIA’s were homologated by the Minister of Geology and Mines on 18 December 2014. The mining licences will be issued for a period of five years and is renewable for a further 2 years.
The Mining Code of Angola determines that a concession of Mining Rights are undertaken through a MIA. The MIA’s were homologated by the Minister of Geology and Mines on 18 December 2014. The last Condition Precedent on the MIA’S were satisfied when the concession order were Published in the Official Angolan Gazette on 13 February 2015. The publication in the Official Gazette states that phosphate rock mineral rights is granted on behalf of Mongo Tando Ltda which holds the rights on behalf of the JV partners.
In April 2015 Minbos and its joint venture partner also completed all payments that is required for the issue of the new licences.
In addition a Presidential decree was issued with respect to the licences on 8 June 2015. The Presidential decree confirmed that the Cabinda project has been approved and instructs the MGM and other Departments to work together with the JV partners to provide the necessary infrastructure and support for the Cabinda project.
In the unlikely case that new licences are not issued for the Cabinda project there is a material uncertainty in relation to the recoverability of the Investment in and Loans to Associate.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Directors’ Report
Cacata Deposit - Cacata has demonstrated potential to support at least 10 years production utilising a simple “scrub and screen” operation. A scrub and screen project would significantly reduce capital and operational costs as well as development lead times.
Agreements with strategic Angolan partner - Minbos concluded agreements with Sociedade de Fosfatos de Angola (‘Sofosa’) to advance and progress the Cabinda project. Sofosa will provide support and services on the Cabinda project and can earn a significant equity stake in Minbos following satisfaction of performance milestones. In terms of the agreements Sofosa will provide support and services on the Cabinda project for a payment of US$15,000 per month retrospective from 1 July 2014. In addition, the agreements outline that Sofosa will be issued, (subject to Minbos shareholder approval) with two separate classes of performance rights that can convert up to a total of 237.8 million fully paid ordinary shares in Minbos. The first class of performance rights can convert to a total of 178.3 million fully paid ordinary shares (75% of 237.8 million shares) subject to Sofosa satisfying the following performance milestones within 12 months from the date the agreements were executed:
-
The issue of the new mining licences on the Cabinda project;
-
Sofosa transferring all of the securities that it holds in Mongo Tando Ltda (‘MTL’) to Minbos or its nominee. MTL is the owner of the new licences on the Cabinda project; and
-
Supporting Minbos strategic initiatives.
The second class of performance rights can convert to a total of 59.5 million fully paid ordinary shares (25% of the 237.8 million shares) subject to Minbos receiving a licence to Mine on the Cabinda project within 24 months from the date the agreements were executed and pursuant to Sofosa’ s assistance.
Port access in Angola - In July 2015 the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (‘LOI’) with Port of Caio to secure port access for the Cabinda project. The LOI provides Minbos with initial port capacity to export no less than 800,000 tons of rock phosphate per annum.

Directors’ Report
Cacata deposit
Cacata has demonstrated potential to support at least 10 years production utilising a simple “scrub and screen” operation. A scrub and screen project would significantly reduce capital and operating costs as well as development lead times.
Minbos is investigating fast track port and shipping options to match the reduced development time needed for a “scrub and screen” operation.
Minbos and its joint venture partner Petril Projects (‘ Petril ’) are committed to completing a pilot plant testwork program that will determine the “scrub and screen” parameters to optimise product specification. In addition the testwork will generate product samples for customer evaluation.

**Includes 1.7Mt of low grade material with high silica which might not be selected out during mining and will give reduced recoveries when processed.
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:
-
Operating costs of US$$57.23 per tonne free-on-board (‘ fob ’) of phosphate rock;
-
Capital cost estimate of US$157m, based on owner operated mining, road haulage and ship loading;
-
Strong opportunity to further reduce capital and operating costs during the Bankable Feasibility Study (‘ BFS ’):
-
IRR of 40.2% (pre-tax); and
-
NPV of US$311m (pre-tax) at a 10% discount rate based on the prevailing Rock Phosphate price at the time of preparing the scoping study of US$180 per tonne.
Port facilities
The proposed new Caio Deep Water port is approximately 60 km by road from Cacata ( refer Figure 2 below ) Access to a deep water port could significantly reduce capital cost on the Cacata high grade project.
In July 2015 the Company entered into a non-binding LOI with Port of Caio to secure port access for the Cabinda project. The LOI provides Minbos with initial port capacity to export no less than 800,000 tons of rock phosphate per annum. The parties have agreed to enter into a formal binding port services agreement which will include the following:
-
Term – Minimum of 10 years with an option to extend for a further 10 years.
-

The Group is focussed to commence BFS studies on its Cabinda Project in Angola. On 11 September 2015 the Company announced that it has entered into a binding Deed of Offer and Release (‘Agreement’) with African Phosphate Ltd (AFP) to dispose of its rights in the Kanzi project in the DRC. Under the terms of the Agreement AFP have also acquired all the historical technical data and study reports for total consideration of US$200,000. The only Condition Precedent on the Agreement is the receipt by Minbos of the consideration that is due within 30 days.

Directors’ Report
Financial Performance
The financial result for the year ended 30 June 2015 is a net loss after tax of $2,196,652 (2014: $2,680,271).
The Group is creating value for shareholders by asset development through its exploration expenditure and currently has no revenue generating operations. Revenue is generated from interest income from funds held on deposit.
Revenue was similar compared with the previous year whilst administration expenses decreased by 43%, largely due to reducing consultant costs. At 30 June 2014 the Company had $1,250,000 of debt, all of which was repaid or converted to securities during the current financial year. This resulted in a 42% decrease in finance costs to $608,119 in the 2015 financial year (2014: $1,046,442). Additionally the Company incurred non-cash costs of $66,259 (2014: $126,328) due to the impairment of the exploration and evaluation expenditure, associated with the Kanzi Project. The Company also incurred exploration expenditure on the Cabinda project of $435,218 (2014: nil) in addition to what was accounted for through the Joint Venture with Petril Phosphate.
Financial Position
The Group’s main focus during the year was the Cabinda Phosphate project in Angola. The Group’s net assets increased by 48%, largely due to the repayment of all borrowings, from $1,250,000 in the prior year to nil at 30 June 2015, and due to the strengthening USD which resulted in an increase in the Company’s investment in associate, from $10,645,238 in the prior year to $13,201,896 at 30 June 2015.
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 for the year of $2,196,652 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,557,838. At 30 June 2015 the Group had a net working capital deficiency of $108,313 (30 June 2014: $1,901,185).
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 fund ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital. An emphasis of matter has been included in the auditor’s report on going concern. Refer to page 46 and the auditor’s report in respect to this matter.
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 the Cabinda project as results from the exploration programme 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 Cabinda project in the future.
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.
The Board reviews the risks of the Group and the action plans to address these risks on a regular basis.
13 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Directors’ Report
a) 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.
b) Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Angola, Australia and the DRC. 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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 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.
f) Speculative investment
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether invest.
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.

- (iv) On 9 October 2014, the Company repaid the Reeves Convertible Note for the amount of $250,000 and outstanding convertible note interest totalling $10,110 through the issue of 86,703,200 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at $0.003 per share.
Renewal of licences - During the year under review Minbos made substantial progress on the issue of new licences for the Cabinda project. The new licences are expected to be issued in the near future.
In December 2014 Minbos and its 50% Joint Venture Partner Petril (JV partners) signed 2 Mining Investment Agreements (MIA) with the Ministry of Geology (MGM) one for the Cacata deposit and second for the remainder of the Cabinda project deposits (Chivovo, Ueca, Mongo Tando, Chibuete and Cabota). The Mining Code of Angola determines that a concession of Mining Rights are undertaken through a MIA. The MIA’s were homologated by the Minister of Geology and Mines on 18 December 2014. The mining licences will be issued for a period of five years and is renewable for a further 2 years.
The Mining Code of Angola determines that a concession of Mining Rights are undertaken through a MIA. The MIA’s were homologated by the Minister of Geology and Mines on 18 December 2014. The last Condition Precedent on the MIA’S were satisfied when the concession order were Published in the Official Angolan Gazette on 13 February 2015. The publication in the Official Gazette states that phosphate rock mineral rights is granted on behalf of Mongo Tando Ltda which holds the rights on behalf of the JV partners.
In April 2015 Minbos and its joint venture partner also completed all payments that is required for the issue of the new licences.
In addition a Presidential decree was issued with respect to the licences on 8 June 2015. The Presidential decree confirmed that the Cabinda project has been approved and instructs the MGM and other Departments to work together with the JV partners to provide the necessary infrastructure and support for the Cabinda project.
In the unlikely case that new licences are not issued for the Cabinda project there is a material uncertainty in relation to the recoverability of the Investment in and Loans to Associate.
11. EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
In July 2015 the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (‘ LOI ’) with Port of Caio to secure port access for the Cabinda project. The LOI provides Minbos with initial port capacity to export no less than 800,000 tons of rock phosphate per annum. The parties have agreed to enter into a formal binding port services agreement which will include the following:
-
Term – Minimum of 10 years with an option to extend for a further 10 years.
-
Volume – No less than 800,000 tons per annum of rock phosphate being exported.
-
Berth capacity for approximately 26 vessels per year.
-
Wharf area to accommodate all of Minbos’ storage and equipment requirements.
-
Minbos being allocated 5 hectares of working area in the Port of Caio Industrial area.
In September 2015 the Company advised that merger discussions with JV partner Petril have been discontinued as the parties could not come to a mutually satisfactory outcome on certain key terms. The principal terms requiring agreement were the escrow conditions for existing and incoming shareholders (with Petril proposing that MNB’s major shareholders should be escrowed until completion of BFS). The negotiations on the merger were complicated by the difficulties of combining a public listed and private company and the different cultures, both in terms of the needs of the various stakeholders but also the different business culture and approach.
Minbos and Petril are developing the Cabinda project under an existing and current JV agreement and will now proceed to move the project towards production on that basis. The Cabinda project is without peer in the Atlantic basin.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Directors’ Report
A Remuneration Philosophy
KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. KMP of Minbos comprise the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (appointed 1 September 2014) and the Chief Financial Officer (appointed 1 November 2014).
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.
No remuneration consultants were employed during the financial year.
B Remuneration Governance, 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. The Board is primarily responsible for:
-
The over-arching executive remuneration framework;
-
Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives (the executive team), including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;
-
Remuneration levels of executives, and
-
Non-executive director fees.
Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company.
Non-Executive Remuneration Structure
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. 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 2015 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 1a and Table 1b, 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.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Directors’ Report
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.
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 1a and Table 1b, 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
The following table shows the gross revenue, losses and share price of the Group as at 30 June for the last five financial years:
| 30-Jun-15 | 30-Jun-14 | 30-Jun-13 | 30-Jun-12 | 30-Jun-11 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue ($) Net loss after tax ($) Share Price($) |

2,333 (2,680,271) 0.002 |
19,413 (6,026,830) 0.02 |

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Directors’ Report
Long Term Incentive Package
On 26 September 2014 the Company approved remuneration of 37,000,000 units to Mr Reed in the Employee Share Trust (‘ EST ’) valued at $0.0035 per unit (Tranche B). Half of these units (18,500,000) vest over 24 months and are therefore considered a long term incentive. Refer to section F in the Remuneration Report for further detail.
Options:
The Board is of the opinion 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.
Currently, 312,816,665 options are on issue, of which 118,500,000 have been issued to Key Management Personnel.
During the 2014 financial year the Company issued 5,000,000 unlisted options to William Oliver (Non-Executive Director) to provide a performance incentive component in the remuneration package to motivate, reward and further align the Director’s interest with that of the shareholders. During the 2015 financial year and subsequent to 30 June 2015 there were no options exercised, nor did any options lapse. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company.
D Details of Remuneration
During the financial year ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014, Key Management Personnel received short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, share-based payments and employee benefits expenses.

The Company does not comply with ASX Principle 2.1 as the majority of the Board is not independent and the Board performs the role of the committee. The Company intends to seek out and appoint additional independent directors to the Board when the size and scale of the Company justify and warrant their inclusion. In the interim the Company will maintain a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience.
When a board vacancy becomes available, the Board will consider the existing mix of skills of the Board and define the skill set that will be sought in candidates to fill the vacancy.

2.3 The board should disclose the names of the directors considered by the Board to be independent directors and the length of service of each director
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.
All 4 directors are Non-Executive Directors but only Mr Bill Oliver is considered to be an independent director. Mr Oliver has been a director of Minbos since September 2013.
- 2.4 A majority of the board of the Company should be independent directors.
The Company does not currently comply with this recommendation as only one of the 4 directors Mr Bill Oliver is regarded as an independent director.
The Company 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. In the future, the Company intends to seek out and appoint independent directors to the Board when additional directors are required in order to meet the ASX recommendation of maintaining a majority of independent Non-Executive Directors.
Messrs Peter Wall and Damian Black is both substantial security holders. In addition Mr Wall is a partner at Steinepreis Paganin Lawyers and Consultants that provides legal services to the Company. Mr Domingos Catulichi is a security holder and director of Sociedade de Fosfatos de Angola (Sofosa). During the period under review the Company concluded an agreement with Sofosa in terms of which they can be issued with performance rights that can be converted to up to 237.8 million fully paid ordinary shares. In addition Sofosa receives a payment of US$15,000 per month for services that they provide on the Cabinda phosphate project in Angola.
- 2.5 The chair of the Board should be an independent director and should not be the same person as the CEO.
Mr Lindsay Reed is the CEO of Minbos and Mr Peter Wall the Chairman. Mr Wall is not an independent director. The Company intends to seek out and appoint an independent chairman in the future as operations expand; however, the Company believes that the current Board structure is best suited to enable the Company to deliver shareholder value.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
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 2015 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 24 September 2015.
(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
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘ AASB ’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-3 from 1 July 2014. The amendments add application guidance to address inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation', by clarifying the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off'; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems may be considered to be equivalent to net settlement.
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2013-3 from 1 July 2014. The disclosure requirements of AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets' have been enhanced to require additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposals. Additionally, if measured using a present value technique, the discount rate is required to be disclosed.
45 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Parts A to C)
The consolidated entity has applied Parts A to C of AASB 2014-1 from 1 July 2014. These amendments affect the following standards: AASB 2 'Share-based Payment': clarifies the definition of 'vesting condition' by separately defining a 'performance condition' and a 'service condition' and amends the definition of 'market condition'; AASB 3 'Business Combinations': clarifies that contingent consideration in a business combination is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is within the scope of AASB 9; AASB 8 'Operating Segments': amended to require disclosures of judgements made in applying the aggregation criteria and clarifies that a reconciliation of the total reportable segment assets to the entity's assets is required only if segment assets are reported regularly to the chief operating decision maker; AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement': clarifies that the portfolio exemption applies to the valuation of contracts within the scope of AASB 9 and AASB 139; AASB 116 'Property, Plant and Equipment' and AASB 138 'Intangible Assets': clarifies that on revaluation, restatement of accumulated depreciation will not necessarily be in the same proportion to the change in the gross carrying value of the asset; AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures': extends the definition of 'related party' to include a management entity that provides KMP services to the entity or its parent and requires disclosure of the fees paid to the management entity; AASB 140 'Investment Property': clarifies that the acquisition of an investment property may constitute a business combination.
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2014 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 2014.
(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 Group incurred a net loss for the year of $2,196,652 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,557,838. At 30 June 2015 the Group had a net working capital deficiency of $108,313 (30 June 2014: $1,901,185) and had to extend the payment terms with its creditors to ensure the Company did not breach its obligations.
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Consolidated Entity being able to renew its Cabinda exploration permit and raise additional funds as required to fund ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital. However should the Company be unsuccessful in undertaking additional raisings the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations. 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.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(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, South Africa, 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 2015 (2014: nil) for the group.
-
(ii) Note 13: Investment in Associate and Note 15: Other Financial Assets - In accordance with AASB 136, an impairment assessment on the Investment in and Loans to Associate was undertaken in acknowledgement of the impairment indicator existing at year end, being the net asset position of the Group exceeding its market capitalisation.
An impairment loss would be 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. The directors believe that the recoverable amount of the Investment in and Loan to Associate is supported by the fair value of the Associate’s underlying asset, being the Cabinda project.
The directors have used a fair value less costs to sell basis by direct reference to recent sales on comparable assets in the market (market approach). The directors believe that this approach is the most appropriate basis for determining recoverable value given the exploration stage of the project. The fair value of the Cabinda project assets is included in the Level 3 fair value hierarchy, with the main unobservable input being the total Phosphate resource.
As a result of this assessment, the directors have determined that there is no impairment required as at 30 June 2015.
As discussed in Note 13 and 15, the recoverable amount is dependent upon the renewal of the Cabinda exploration licence which are successfully progressing.
-
(iii) Note 14: Exploration and evaluation expenditure - The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 3(k). 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 Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. At 30 June 2015, Allamanda continued to hold the Kanzi Joint Venture licences, accordingly the Group has impaired the exploration expenditure incurred during the financial year. Subsequent to year end on 11 September 2015 Minbos announced that it had entered into an agreement to dispose of the Kanzi Project.
-
(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.

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 2015 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 structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the 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 entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associates. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the consolidated entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
(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.
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.
48 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
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 and the Chief Executive Officer.
(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 Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position,
-
Income and expenses for each Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 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.
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.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(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.
(f) 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). Nonfinancial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, short term bills and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
(h) 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.
(i) 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 Profit or Loss and Other 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.
51 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(j) 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.
(k) 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.
52 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mineral property and development assets within plant and equipment.
(l) 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.
(m) 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.
(n) 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.
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.
53 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
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.
Certain convertible notes issued by the Group which includes embedded derivatives (holder’s option to convert to variable number of shares) are recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the fair value of the convertible note will equate to the proceeds received and subsequently the liability is measured at fair value at each reporting period until settlement the fair value movements are recorded in the profit and loss at cost.
(o) Borrowings Costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
(p) 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.
(q) Employee benefits
(i) Share-based payments
The share option programme allows the Consolidated Entity employees to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(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.
(r) 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.
(s) Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the year in which they are paid and appropriately authorised.
(t) 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.
(u) 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 and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme 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 Management and overseen by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors.
The main risks arising for the Group are foreign exchange 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.
The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments are as follows:
| Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Other financial assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Borrowings Net exposure |

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(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.
(ii) 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 and cash equivalents | 30-Jun-15 30-Jun-14 |
|---|---|
| Balance Balance $ $ Weighted average interest rate Weighted average interest rate |
|
| 1.42% 192,872 0.22% 30,727 |
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 1% 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.
At 30 June 2015, 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:
| Judgements of reasonably possible movements: | Post tax profit Other comprehensive higher/(lower) higher/(lower) |
|---|---|
| 30-Jun-15 30-Jun-14 30-Jun-15 30-Jun-14 |
|
| $ $ $ $ |
|
| + 1.0% (100 basis points) - 1.0%(100 basispoints) |
1,350 215 - - (1,350) (215) - - |
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.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group except for the following: Financial asset (unsecured interest-free loan) with Mongo Tando Limited of $4,579,299 at 30 June 2015, and Cash held with National Australia Bank.
(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.
Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits:

|---|---|
| $ $ 185,983 20,998 6,889 9,729 |
|
| 192,872 30,727 |
(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 and Management monitor the cash outflow 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. Trade payables were non-interest bearing and were deducted within the normal 30-60 day terms of creditor payments.
The table below reflects the respective undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities existing at 30 June 2015.

(d) Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-
(i) Level 1 - the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
-
(ii) Level 2 - a valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); or
-
(iii)Level 3 - a valuation technique using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
At 30 June 2015 the Group did not have financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value. Due to their short term nature, the carrying amount of the current receivables and payables is assumed to approximate their fair value. The Groups financial liabilities at 30 June 2014 have been presented in the following table:
| Year ended 30 June 2014 | Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $ $ $ $ |
|---|---|
| Financial liabilities Borrowings (refer note 18(c)) |
- (550,000) - (550,000) |
| - (550,000) - (550,000) |
Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 and level 3 fair values
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.
For current borrowings, the fair value approximates the carrying value amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant.
The convertible notes carried at fair value through profit and loss is calculated based on the number of shares to be issued at conversion price of $0.003 per share and the share price of the group at balance sheet date. They are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the significant inputs to the valuation is based on observable share price of the Company. Options issued on conversion of the notes are valued using the blackscholes model which takes into account the share price, conversion price and volatility of the Company’s share price at the date of issue.
The Group does not have any level 3 assets or liabilities.
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group operates only in one reportable segment being predominately in the area of phosphate mineral exploration in the DRC and Angola, within Africa. The Board considers its business operations in phosphate mineral exploration to be its primary reporting function. Results are analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. Consequently revenue, profit, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are reflected in this financial report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $7,005,667 (tax effected at 30%, $2,101,700) as at 30 June 2015 (2014: $5,360,872 (tax effected at 30%, $1,608,262)). 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 2015 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $2,196,652 (2014: $2,680,271) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2015 of 1,061,926,322 (2014: 210,958,463) calculated as follows:
| Net loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Group ($) Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basis per share (No) Continuing operations - Basic loss per share ($) |

At 30 June 2015 the loan had not been repaid, the Company therefore made a provision against the unrecoverable portion of the loan. The outstanding balance at 30 June 2015 was $7,500 (2014: $3,000) being the value of the 1,500,000 Minbos shares held as security at 30 June 2015. In the previous financial year the Company impaired $22,500 of Other Receivables as they were not considered recoverable. No other current receivables are impaired or past due but not impaired.

During the year under review Minbos made substantial progress on the issue of new licences for the Cabinda project. The new licences are expected to be issued in the near future.
In December 2014 Minbos and its 50% Joint Venture Partner Petril (JV partners) signed 2 Mining Investment Agreements (MIA) with the Ministry of Geology (MGM) one for the Cacata deposit and second for the remainder of the Cabinda project deposits (Chivovo, Ueca, Mongo Tando, Chibuete and Cabota). The Mining Code of Angola determines that a concession of Mining Rights are undertaken through a MIA. The MIA’s were homologated by the Minister of Geology and Mines on 18 December 2014. The mining licences will be issued for a period of five years and is renewable for a further 2 years.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
In April 2015 Minbos and its joint venture partner also completed all payments that is required for the issue of the new licences.
In addition a Presidential decree was issued with respect to the licences on 8 June 2015. The Presidential decree confirmed that the Cabinda project has been approved and instructs the MGM and other Departments to work together with the JV partners to provide the necessary infrastructure and support for the Cabinda project.
In the unlikely case that new licences are not issued for the Cabinda project there is a material uncertainty in relation to the recoverability of the Investment in and Loans to Associate.

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
-
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.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:
Net debt (as per note 18) / Total equity (as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position).

25. EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN RESERVE
(a) Fair value of employee shares granted during the year
In the 2013 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 – Lindsay Reed
Shareholders approved the establishment of the Minbos Resources Limited Employee Share Plan via an Employee Share Trust (‘EST’) at a general meeting on 14 March 2013. The company believes that the employee share plan provides eligible key employees and Directors effective incentive for their work and ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company. Eligible key employees and Directors offered shares under the plan are provided an interest free, non- recourse loan from the EST.
Under this plan, on 26 September 2014 the company approved a remuneration of 37,000,000 share units to Lindsay Reed in the EST. These shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.003 per share. These shares were subject to the following vesting conditions:
-
18,500,000 share units shall vest;
-
(a) one year from the Commencement Date (being 1 September 2015); and
-
(b) if an announcement is made to the market by the Company of the renewal of the exploration licence 0006/06/01/L.P/GOV.ANG.MGM.2010 granted to Mongo Tando Ltda, which expired in January 2013.
-
18,500,000 share units shall vest;
-
(a) two years from the Commencement Date (being 1 September 2016); and
-
(b) upon presentation of a definitive feasibility study by the Company’s joint venture partner in relation to the Cabinda Project.
In the event of a change of control event, the share units will vest automatically.
Summary of the key loan terms:
Aggregate loan amount: $111,000 Interest rate: 0%
Subject to the conditions of the Employee Share Plan as approved by shareholder on 14 March 2013.
There were no other shares issued as compensation to Key Management Personnel during the financial year nor as at the date of signing this report.

29. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
In July 2015 the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (‘ LOI ’) with Port of Caio to secure port access for the Cabinda project. The LOI provides Minbos with initial port capacity to export no less than 800,000 tons of rock phosphate per annum. The parties have agreed to enter into a formal binding port services agreement which will include the following:
-
Term – Minimum of 10 years with an option to extend for a further 10 years.
-
Volume – No less than 800,000 tons per annum of rock phosphate being exported.
-
Berth capacity for approximately 26 vessels per year.
-
Wharf area to accommodate all of Minbos’ storage and equipment requirements.
-
Minbos being allocated 5 hectares of working area in the Port of Caio Industrial area.
In September 2015 the Company advised that merger discussions with JV partner Petril have been discontinued as the parties could not come to a mutually satisfactory outcome on certain key terms. The principal terms requiring agreement were the escrow conditions for existing and incoming shareholders (with Petril proposing that MNB’s major shareholders should be escrowed until completion of BFS). The negotiations on the merger were complicated by the difficulties of combining a public listed and private company and the different cultures, both in terms of the needs of the various stakeholders but also the different business culture and approach.
Minbos and Petril are developing the Cabinda project under an existing and current JV agreement and will now proceed to move the project towards production on that basis, with Minbos continuing to hold a 50% interest in a project that is without peer in the Atlantic basin.
On 11 September 2015 the Company announced that it has entered into a binding Deed of Offer and Release (‘Agreement’) with African Phosphate Ltd (AFP) to dispose of its rights in the Kanzi project in the DRC. Under the terms of the Agreement AFP have also acquired all the historical technical data and study reports for total consideration of US$200,000. The only Condition Precedent on the Agreement is the receipt by Minbos of the consideration that is due within 30 days.
The Directors are not aware of any other matters or circumstances at the date of the report, other than those referred to in this report or the financial statements or notes thereto, that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations, the results of operations or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years.

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 2015, 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
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.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
has been given to the directors of Minbos Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Minbos Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 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 ability of the consolidated entity being able to renew its Cabinda exploration permit and the future successful raising of necessary funding. 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.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Notes 13 and 15 in the financial report which describe an uncertainty relating to the recoverability of the consolidated entity’s investment in and loans to Associate. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2015. 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 2015 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
