5. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Red October Resources Limited is an Australian-based exploration company established to acquire, explore, evaluate and exploit global mineral resource projects. The Company seeks to maximise shareholder returns by actively evaluating new acquisitions and joint venture exploration opportunities in the resources sector.

6. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

==> picture [296 x 169] intentionally omitted <==

(a) Pardoo Nickel Project

The Company entered into a Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources giving the Company the right to earn up to an initial 70% interest in the nickel and noniron ore mineral rights in the Pardoo Project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia by meeting expenditure of at least $10 million within 5 years.

The Pardoo Project consists of four granted exploration licenses; E45/1866, E45/2146,

E45/3383 and E45/3464, in the Pilbara Mineral Field. These tenements cover approximately 161.2 km2.

The Pardoo Project straddles the boundary between the East Pilbara Granite-Greenstone Terrane and the Central Pilbara Tectonic Zone, marked in this region by the Pardoo fault, which is part of the De Grey Structural Zone. The east-northeast trending Pardoo Fault separates the Ord greenstone belt in the north from the Goldsworthy greenstone belt in the south. The project is centred on the northern, faulted limb of the Goldsworthy Syncline (Figure 2).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

The mineralisation at the Highway deposited is hosted within a schist package, comprising biotite, chlorite, quartz, feldspar and carbonate schists. Chert lithologies occur above and below the schist and consist of grey, white and translucent banded and some brecciated chert. Above the chert-schist units the stratigraphy comprises fine grained mafic amphibole-biotite-chlorite schist, with accessory carbonate, magnetite and ilmenite.

Subsequent to year end the Company has renegotiated the Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources. The Company now has the right to earn up to an initial 50% (previously 70%) interest in the nickel and non-iron ore mineral rights. See Section 9(a).

(b) Yellowstone Copper Project – Central Kazakhstan

The Company entered into a legally binding Memorandum of Understanding to potentially acquire up to a 70% shareholding in Kazakhstan based company, ULY-TAU K Limited Liability Partnership (“ UTK ”), owner of the substantial Tesiktasskoye Copper project near Balkash in Central Kazakhstan (“ Yellowstone” ).

Subsequent to year end the Company has been unable to satisfy the terms of the acquisition agreement and has agreed to provide UTK access to all technical reports and physical assets funded by Red October during the due diligence process in exchange for a refund of the estimated costs of $350,000 USD. This amount is to become payable to Red October on the sale of Yellowstone to another party. See Section 9(b)(i).

(c) Akjilga Silver Project – Tajikistan

In June 2011 the Company made a successful bid of US$12 million for the Akjilga Silver Project in Tajikistan, owned by Kazakhmys PLC (LON: KAZ), a FTSE 100 Company listed on the London Stock Exchange (the “Project”). Red October funded the initial US$2 million deposit through existing cash reserves as it was unable to conduct a capital raising due to market conditions. Given the scale of the Project, it was Red October’s intention to spin it out into a new listing or vend the Project direct into another listed entity.

Subsequent to year end the Company received a Notice of Breach of Contract from the vendors and having been unable to meet the contract requirements have reached a settlement agreement releasing each other from any and all conceivable claims. See Section 9(b)(ii).

7. FINANCIAL RESULTS

The cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2011 totalled $1,385,486. The net asset position as at 30 June 2011 was $1,328,109. The net loss after tax for the period attributable to the members of the Group was $3,506,389. The Group is of the opinion that it has used its funds in accordance with the business objectives stated in its prospectus, to earn an initial interest in the Pardoo Project and to actively pursue new projects in the resources sector both in Australia and overseas, by way of acquisition or investment.

8. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group.

9. MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

(a) Variation of Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources Limited

The Company entered into a Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources Limited on 17 December 2010 giving it the right to earn up to an initial 70% interest in the nickel and non-iron ore mineral rights associated with the Pardoo Project (“Project”) in three stages:

  • (i) A 30% interest can be earned by spending a minimum amount of $2.0m within 3 years from the Commencement Date including a minimum spend of $1.5m, or such other amount greater than $1.5m as required to satisfy the ASX Listing Rules, within 2 years of the Commencement Date; and

  • (ii) Once a 30% interest is earned then a further 20% (to a total of 50%) interest can be earned by spending a minimum total of $5.0m within 4 years from the Commencement Date; and

  • (iii) Once a 50% interest is earned then a further 20% interest (to a total of 70%) can be earned by spending a minimum total amount of $10m within 5 years from the Commencement Date.

On 10 April 2012 both parties agreed to vary the agreement such that:

  • (i) A 30% interest can be earned by spending a minimum amount of $1.0 million on the Project within 2 years from the date of re-instatement of the Company to trading on the ASX (“Commencement Date”) with a minimum spend of $250,000 on the Project by the earlier of 6 months from the Commencement Date or 31 December 2012; and

  • (ii) Once a 30% interest is earned then a further 20% (to a total of 50%) interest in the Project can be earned by spending a further minimum total amount of $2.0m on the Project within 4 years from the Commencement Date.

In consideration for agreeing to the variation the Company will issue to Segue Resources Limited 11,250,000 shares in the Company.

(b) Acquisition of projects

(i) Yellowstone Copper Project – Central Kazakhstan

On 21 May 2011 Red October signed a Memorandum of Understanding to potentially acquire up to a 70% shareholding in Kazakhstan based ULY-TAU K Limited Liability Partnership (“UTK”), owner of the Tesiktasskoye copper deposit (“Yellowstone”) located near Balkash in central Kazakhstan.

Red October paid US$250,000 on 27 May 2011 for a three month exclusivity period to conduct the due diligence on the project and negotiate a formal joint venture agreement.

On 20 July 2011 the formal agreement (“Company Interest Purchase Agreement”) was signed whereby Red October was to acquire 51% of UTK for USD$44m, with a minimum cash payment of USD $14m and the balance in Red October shares (or cash) on the condition that the quantity of Red October shares to be issued as part of the purchase price does not exceed 20% on an undiluted basis of the total issued shares of Red October.

On 18 October Red October announced that it was not in a position to complete a capital raising sufficient to satisfy the terms of the Company Interest Purchase Agreement and it had agreed to provide UTK access to all technical reports and physical assets funded by the Company during the due diligence process. In exchange, UTK agreed to refund the estimated costs of $350,000 USD, the amount to become payable on the sale of Yellowstone to another party.

FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

(ii) Akjilga Silver Project - Tajikistan

On 10 June 2011 Red October signed an agreement (“Share Sale Agreement”) to purchase the Akjilga Silver Project in Tajikistan for USD$12m via the purchase of 100% of the share capital of CA Mineral LLP from Kazakhmys PLC (LON: KAZ), a FTSE 100 Company listed on the London Stock Exchange. An initial USD$2m deposit was paid with the USD$10m balance due by 1 October 2011.

Due to market conditions, Red October was unable to raise sufficient funds to pay the remaining balance and received a Notice of Breach of Contract from the vendors. On 5 April 2012 the Company signed a settlement agreement with the vendors releasing all parties to the Share Sale Agreement from any and all conceivable claims.

In consideration for the Company assigning all its rights, title and interest in the right to receive a cash payment of US$350,000 from UTK upon a sale of Yellowstone (See section 9(b)(i) above) together with the payment of US$100,000 in cash to the vendors, the vendors agree that any claim that it may have against the Company in relation to the Share Sale Agreement has been settled in full.

(c) Convertible Note Funding

On 10 April 2012 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Hemisphere Corporate Services Pty Ltd to provide the Company with funding of $600,000 via an unsecured convertible note. The notes will convert to ordinary shares in the Company at $0.005 subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval.

The notes will have a 6 month term and accrue interest at a rate of 9.25% with interest payable on the date of repayment (or conversion) or convertible to shares at the conversion price of $0.005.

Except for the events discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2011 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • (i) the Group’s operations in future financial years, or

  • (ii) the results of those operations in future financial years, or

  • (iii) the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

10.FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

The Directors intend to focus on the exploration of the Pardoo Project.

Further information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations have not been included in this annual financial report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

11.ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State legislation. The Board is not aware of any breach of environmental requirements as they apply to the Group.

FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

A Remuneration Philosophy

Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. Key management personnel comprise the Directors of the Group and Executives of the Group. The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its key management personnel. To prosper the Group must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled directors and executives.

The Group’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality.

B Remuneration Structure

Executive and Non-Executive remuneration arrangements

The remuneration of Executive and Non-Executive Directors (NED) consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. They serve on a month to month basis and there are no termination benefits payable. They do not receive retirement benefits but are able to participate in share option based incentive programmes in accordance with Group policy.

As Executive Directors, Messrs Smith and Nairn are paid Director’s fees of $250,000 per annum ($180,000 per annum pre listing) and $200,000 per annum respectively. Payment of Directors’ fees took effect for Mr Smith from the date the Group raised $660,000 and issued Non-Voting Redeemable Converting Preference seed shares and from the date of listing for Mr Nairn.

As Non-Executive Directors, Messrs McCleary and Sassine are each paid Director’s fees of $40,000 per annum. Payment of Directors’ fees took effect from the date of appointment for Mr McCleary and from 1 March for Mr Sassine.

Directors are paid consulting fees on time spent on Group business, including reasonable expenses incurred by them on business of the Group, details of which are contained in the Remuneration Table disclosed as Section C of this Report. Remuneration of Executive and Non-Executive Directors are 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.

The Group does not offer any variable remuneration incentive plans or bonus schemes to Non-Executive Directors or any retirement benefits and, as such, there are no performance related links to the existing remuneration policies.

Non-executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which will be periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $250,000 per annum as per the Group’s constitution and may be varied by ordinary resolution of the shareholders in general meeting.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

D Share-based Compensation

The Group rewards Directors for their performance and aligns their remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth by issuing share options (the “Plan”). There are no performance requirements to be met before exercise can take place. The Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Participation in the Plan is at the discretion of the Board and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the Plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

The issue of options is 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.

Options granted under the Plan carry no dividend or voting rights. The grant date equals the vesting date for all options. No options were exercised as at the date of this report.

No options over ordinary shares in the Group were provided as remuneration to the Directors and key management personnel of the Group during the period.

No shares were issued in exercise of options granted in the period.

As part of Ross Smith’s Executive Services Contract he was issued 10 million Performance Shares in Red October. These Performance Shares will convert on a 1 for 1 basis at no cost into fully paid ordinary shares in Red October as soon as practicable after:

  • The volume weighted average share price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s shares as traded on the ASX must be at or above a price which is at least 2.5 times the IPO subscription price for at least 20 consecutive days; and

  • Red October raises at least $2 million of capital at a share price which is not less than 2.5 times the IPO subscription price.

The Performance Shares have no rights (voting, dividend or participation in winding up) other than the right to convert into fully paid ordinary shares based on the vesting conditions noted above. The Fully Paid Ordinary Shares in Red October will be escrowed from the date of conversion for 12 months or such other longer period required by the ASX.

An Independent Valuation was performed on these Performance Shares and at the time of issue they were valued at $0.00001 each. Therefore the value of 10 million Performance Shares is $100.

E Equity Instruments Issued on Exercise of Remuneration Options

No shares were issued during the period to Directors or key management as a result of exercising remuneration options.

F Value of options to Directors

No options were granted, exercised or lapsed during the Period to Directors as part of their remuneration.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

The Board of Directors of Red October Resources Limited (the “Company” or “Red October”) is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Red October and its controlled entity (referred to hereafter as the “Group”) on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities, it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

The composition of the Board is determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:

  • the Board should comprise at least three directors and it intends to establish a majority of nonexecutive directors;

  • the Chairman should be a non-executive director, although this has not yet been achieved;

  • the Board should comprise directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and

  • the Board shall meet at regular intervals and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.

When a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the service of a new director with particular skills, the Board selects a candidate or panel of candidates with the appropriate expertise.

The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate, who must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders. The Company does not have a formal Nomination Committee.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

Remuneration levels are set by the Board in accordance with industry standards to attract suitable qualified and experienced Directors and senior executives. The Group has established a remuneration committee consisting of the two independent non-executive directors to review executive salaries and performance.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Group is not of a size that justifies having a separate Audit Committee. However, matters typically dealt with by such committees are dealt with by the full Board.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES

As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.

The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Group is delegated by the Board to the Managing Director and Company Secretary / Financial Controller. The Board ensures that the Managing Director and Company Secretary / Financial Controller are appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Group’s officers, contractors and consultants. Due to the size and scale of the Group there is no formal appointment of a Chief Executive Officer.

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, including the following:

  • Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;

  • implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and Board monitoring progress against budget; and

  • procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expenses.

MONITORING OF THE BOARD’S PERFORMANCE AND COMMUNICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the performance of all directors is to be reviewed annually by the Chairman. Directors whose performance is unsatisfactory are asked to retire.

This Corporate Governance Statement sets out the Company’s current compliance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Principles and Recommendations ). The Principles and Recommendations are not mandatory.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Red October Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange Limited (“ASX”). The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the Corporate Directory at the beginning of the Annual Report.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary are for the period from 17 December 2010 (date of incorporation) to 30 June 2011 (the “Period”).

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

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on the date the directors’ report and declaration was signed.

(b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified where applicable, by the measurement of fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

(c) Comparative financial information

There is no comparative financial information as these are the Group’s first annual financial statements since its incorporation on 17 December 2010.

(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 period the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $3,506,389 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and financing activities of $640,591.

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 upon successful reinstatement to meet ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital. The Directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required upon reinstatement and are in the process of evaluating the consolidated entity’s cash requirements. The Directors believe that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the consolidated entity be unsuccessful in undertaking additional raisings or being reinstated the consolidated entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

(e) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and the presentation currency of the Group.

(f) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated entity.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:

  • (i) Note 26 – Share-based payment arrangements - The Group measures the cost of equity settled share based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

  • (ii) Note 14 – Exploration & evaluation expenditure - The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 4(f). If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploration or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Statement of Comprehensive Income (profit and loss).

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In the current year, the Company has adopted all of the applicable new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. Details of the impact of the adoption of these new accounting standards are set out in the individual accounting policy notes set out below.

AASB 2009-5 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’

• Except for the amendments to AASB 5 and AASB 107, the application of AASB 2009-5 has not had any material effect on amounts reported in the financial statements.

29| P a g e

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

AASB 2009-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Group Cash-Settled Share-based Payment Transactions’

• The application of AASB 2009-8 makes amendments to AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ to clarify the scope of AASB 2, as well as the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the separate (or individual) financial statements of an entity receiving the goods or services when another group entity or shareholder has the obligation to settle the award.

AASB 2009-10 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Rights Issues’

• The application of AASB 2009-10 makes amendments to AASB 132 ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’ to address the classification of certain rights issues denominated in a foreign currency as either an equity instrument or as a financial liability. To date, the Company has not entered into any arrangements that would fall within the scope of the amendments.

AASB 2010-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’

• A collection of non-urgent but necessary improvements to the following accounting standards are AASB 3, AASB 7, AASB 121, AASB 128, AASB 132 and AASB 139.

AASB 2010-4 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’

• Except for the amendments to AASB 7 and AASB 101 described earlier this section, the application of AASB 2010-4 has not had any material effect on amounts reported in the financial statements. Interpretation 19 ‘Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments’ This Interpretation provides guidance regarding the accounting for the extinguishment of a financial liability by the issue of equity instruments. In particular, the equity instruments issued under such arrangements will be measured at their fair value, and any difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the fair value of equity instruments issued will be recognised in profit or loss. To date, the Company has not entered into transactions of this nature.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Group entities.

(a) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Red October Resources Limited (the “Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Red October Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity.

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

30| P a g e

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

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

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

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.

(b) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.

(c) Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the Statement of Financial Position date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

(d) Financial instruments

(i) Non-derivative financial assets

Financial assets are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

Non-derivative financial assets comprise deposits, loans and receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. They are included in current assets except those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables.

31| P a g e

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Non-derivative financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised

(e) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not shown in the accounts at a value in excess of the recoverable amount from assets.

Depreciation is calculated on a prime cost method so as to write off the net cost of each asset during their expected useful life of 3 to 7 years.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the net carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

(f) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development costs represent intangible assets and are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward where right of tenure to the area of interest is current and to the extent that costs are expected to be recouped through the sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period in which the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs are written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

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 mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, short term bills and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the consolidated entity’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(h) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

(i) Other financial assets

The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the Statement of Financial Position date which are classified as noncurrent assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, net of any impairment losses.

(j) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

(k) 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.

(l) Employee Benefits

(i) Share-based payment transactions

The share option program allows the consolidated entity employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. (See note 26) The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

(ii) Wages, salaries and annual leave

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the consolidated entity expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

(m) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

(n) 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

(o) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences 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 income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company 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.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Red October Resources Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entity have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(p) Goods and Services Tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

35| P a g e

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(q) New standards and interpretation not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods and have not yet been applied in the financial report. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

• AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). Amendments made to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures in November 2010, introduce additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from transferred financial assets. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s disclosures. The Group intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2011.

• AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 10 introduces certain changes to the consolidation principles, including the concept of de facto control and changes in relation to the special purpose entities. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.

• AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 11 introduces certain changes to the accounting for joint arrangements. Joint arrangements will be classified as either joint operations (where parties with joint control have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities) or joint ventures (where parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint arrangements structured as a separate vehicle will generally be treated as joint ventures and accounted for using the equity method. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.

• AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value of financial and non-financial items recognised at fair value on the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.

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

==> picture [83 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

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

• AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. The Group is continuing to assess its full impact.

• Revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). In December 2009 the AASB issued a revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. It is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendment clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. The Group will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2011. When the amendments are applied, the Group will need to disclose any transactions between its subsidiaries and its associates. However, there will be no impact on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

• AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements (effective from 1 July 2013). On 30 June 2010 the AASB officially introduced a revised differential reporting framework in Australia. Under this framework, a two-tier differential reporting regime applies to all entities that prepare general purpose financial statements. The Group is listed on the ASX and is not eligible to adopt the new Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements. The two standards will therefore have no impact on the financial statements of the entity.

• AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (effective from 1 January 2012). In December 2010, the AASB amended AASB 112 Income Taxes to provide a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model. AASB 112 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the way management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the relevant assets or liabilities, that is through use or through sale. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that investment property which is measured at fair value is recovered entirely by sale. The amendment is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements. The Group intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2012.

• AASB 119 - Elimination of the ‘corridor’ approach for deferring gains/losses for defined benefit plans, actuarial gains/losses on remeasuring the defined benefit plan obligation/asset to be recognised in OCI rather than in profit or loss, and cannot be reclassified in subsequent periods, subtle amendments to timing for recognition of liabilities for termination benefits, and employee benefits expected to be settled (as opposed to due to settled under current standard) within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are short-term benefits, and therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. Annual leave not expected to be used within 12 months of end of reporting period will in future be discounted when calculating leave liability. This standard has no impact as there are no annual leave provision amounts that are non-current. The Group will apply this from 1 July 2013.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.

The Board of Directors co-ordinate domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The Group manages foreign exchange risk by monitoring forecast cash flows in currencies other than Australian.

The Group has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Price risk

The Group does not hold investments and therefore is not exposed to equity securities price risk.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for classes of financial assets and liabilities is set out below:

30-Jun-11 Weighted average $ interest rate Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents 4.75% 1,385,486

The Group does not have significant interest-bearing assets and percentage changes in interest rates would not have a material impact on the results. Group sensitivity to movement in interest rates is shown in the summarised sensitivity analysis table below.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet commitments as and when they fall due. The Group has no long term or short term debt and its risk with regard to liquidity relates to its ability to maintain its current operations prior to the generation of future income streams.

The Group’s ability to raise equity funding in the market is paramount in this regard.

6. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(a) Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of share appreciation rights is measured using a Black-Scholes model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The segments are consistent with the internal management reporting information that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker.

The Group engages in one business in Australia, activity from which it earns revenues, and its results are analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker. Consequently revenue, profit and net assets for the operating segment and geographical segment are reflected in this annual report.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a) Variation of Farm-in Agreement with Segue Resources Limited

The Company entered into a Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources Limited on 17 December 2010 giving it the right to earn up to an initial 70% interest in the nickel and non-iron ore mineral rights associated with the Pardoo Project (“Project”) in three stages:

  • (i) A 30% interest can be earned by spending a minimum amount of $2.0m within 3 years from the Commencement Date including a minimum spend of $1.5m, or such other amount greater than $1.5m as required to satisfy the ASX Listing Rules, within 2 years of the Commencement Date; and

  • (ii) Once a 30% interest is earned then a further 20% (to a total of 50%) interest can be earned by spending a minimum total of $5.0m within 4 years from the Commencement Date; and

  • (iii) Once a 50% interest is earned then a further 20% interest (to a total of 70%) can be earned by spending a minimum total amount of $10m within 5 years from the Commencement Date.

On 10 April 2012 both parties agreed to vary the agreement such that:

  • (i) a 30% interest can be earned by spending a minimum amount of $1.0 million on the Project within 2 years from the date of re-instatement of the Company to trading on the ASX (“Commencement Date”) with a minimum spend of $250,000 on the Project by the earlier of 6 months from the Commencement Date or 31 December 2012; and

  • (ii) once a 30% interest is earned then a further 20% (to a total of 50%) interest in the Project can be earned by spending a further minimum total amount of $2.0m on the Project within 4 years from the Commencement Date.

In consideration for agreeing to the variation the Company will issue to Segue Resources Limited 11,250,000 shares in the Company.

(b) Acquisition of projects

(i) Yellowstone Copper Project – Central Kazakhstan

On 21 May 2011 Red October signed a Memorandum of Understanding to potentially acquire up to a 70% shareholding in Kazakhstan based ULY-TAU K Limited Liability Partnership (“UTK”), owner of the Tesiktasskoye copper deposit (“Yellowstone”) located near Balkash in central Kazakhstan.

Red October paid US$250,000 on 27 May 2011 for a three month exclusivity period to conduct the due diligence on the project and negotiate a formal joint venture agreement.

On 20 July 2011 the formal agreement (“Company Interest Purchase Agreement”) was signed whereby Red October was to acquire 51% of UTK for USD$44m, with a minimum cash payment of USD $14m and the balance in Red October shares (or cash) on the condition that the quantity of Red October shares to be issued as part of the purchase price does not exceed 20% on an undiluted basis of the total issued shares of Red October.

FOR THE PERIOD 17 DECEMBER 2010 (DATE OF INCORPORATION) TO 30 JUNE 2011

On 18 October Red October announced that it was not in a position to complete a capital raising sufficient to satisfy the terms of the Company Interest Purchase Agreement and it had agreed to provide UTK access to all technical reports and physical assets funded by the Company during the due diligence process. In exchange, UTK agreed to refund the estimated costs of $350,000 USD, the amount to become payable on the sale of Yellowstone to another party.

(ii) Akjilga Silver Project - Tajikistan

On 10 June 2011 Red October signed an agreement (“Share Sale Agreement”) to purchase the Akjilga Silver Project in Tajikistan for USD$12m via the purchase of 100% of the share capital of CA Mineral LLP from Kazakhmys PLC (LON: KAZ), a FTSE 100 Company listed on the London Stock Exchange. An initial USD$2m deposit was paid with the USD$10m balance due by 1 October 2011.

Due to market conditions, Red October was unable to raise sufficient funds to pay the remaining balance and received a Notice of Breach of Contract from the vendors. On 5 April 2012 the Company signed a settlement agreement with the vendors releasing all parties to the Share Sale Agreement from any and all conceivable claims.

In consideration for the Company assigning all its rights, title and interest in the right to receive a cash payment of US$350,000 from UTK upon a sale of Yellowstone together with the payment of US$100,000 in cash to the vendors, the vendors agree that any claim that it may have against the Company in relation to the Share Sale Agreement has been settled in full.

(c) Convertible Note Funding

On 10 April 2012 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Hemisphere Corporate Services Pty Ltd to provide the Company with funding of $600,000 via an unsecured convertible note issue. The notes will convert to ordinary shares in the Company at $0.005 subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval.

The notes will have a 6 month term and accrue interest at a rate of 9.25% with interest payable on the date of repayment or convertible to shares at the conversion price of $0.005.

Except for the events discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2011 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • (i) the Group’s operations in future financial years, or

  • (ii) the results of those operations in future financial years, or

  • (iii) the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

The Performance Shares have no rights (voting, dividend or participation in winding up) other than the right to convert into fully paid ordinary shares based on the vesting conditions noted above. The Fully Paid Ordinary Shares in Red October will be escrowed from the date of conversion for 12 months or such other longer period required by the ASX.

An Independent Valuation was performed on these Performance Shares and at the time of issue they were valued at $0.00001 each. Therefore the value of 10 million Performance Shares is $100.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RED OCTOBER RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Red October Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period 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 entity it controlled at the period’s end or from time to time during the financial period.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(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 entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Red October Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

  • (a) the financial report of Red October Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 and of its performance for the period 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).

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the period ended 30 June 2011. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Red October Resources Limited for the period 30 June 2011 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(d) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity’s incurred a net loss of $3,506,389 during the period ended 30 June 2011. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2(d), indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and as such realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities within the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.
