CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT UNITED OROGEN LIMITED (“THE COMPANY”)

Introduction

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity and pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company‟s needs. To the extent they are applicable, the Company has adopted the Eight Essential Corporate Governance Principles and Best Practice Recommendations (“Recommendations”) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council. Where, after due consideration, the Company's corporate governance practices depart from the Recommendations, the Board has offered full disclosure of the nature of, and reason for, the adoption of its own practice.

As the Company‟s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance structures will be given further consideration.

Board Composition

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each Director who is in office at the date of the financial report and their term of office are detailed in the Directors' Report.

There is no formal policy or procedure regarding the taking of professional advice by the independent directors, however no restrictions are placed on the independent directors to take advice on matters arising from their roles as independent directors of the Company, or the reimbursement of the costs incurred by the Company.

Dr Pervan and Mr Karajas are considered by the Board to be independent directors. The determination by the Board as to whether individual directors are independent is a matter of judgment. In making this determination the Board has followed the guidance in Box 2.1 of the Recommendations and the Guide to Reporting on Principle 2. The Board considers the relationships the independent directors have with the Company do not materially impact on their independence. In determining the materiality of these relationships, the Board has considered both quantitative and qualitative factors. In determining the quantitative factors the Board considers that a relationship is immaterial where it is equal to or less than 5% of the base amount. In applying this level of materiality to the relationship of the independent directors in the case of shareholders and suppliers, the Board considers that the independent directors‟ interest is less than 5% of the base amount. In respect to the qualitative measures the Board has considered the factors affecting the independent directors‟ relationship with the Company and consider these qualitative factors to be immaterial in the assessment of their independence.

Disclosure as to the nature and amount of remuneration paid to the Directors of the Company is included in the Directors report and notes to the financial statements in the Company‟s annual report each year. The structure and objectives of the remuneration policy and its links to the Company‟s performance is disclosed in the annual Directors‟ Report. The only form of retirement benefit to which non-executive directors are entitled, is superannuation.

Trading Policy

The Company‟s policy regarding directors and employees trading in its securities is set by the Board of directors. The policy restricts directors and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the security‟s prices.

Remuneration Policy

The Company‟s remuneration policy was developed by and approved by the Board. All executives receive a salary and statutory superannuation.

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E


The Company does not participate in share based remuneration for its executives but can issue share options to Directors, employees and consultants. The terms of the share options to Directors, employees and consultants are based on what similar sized companies in the mining industry are offering. All share options to be issued to Directors require shareholder approval before being issued.

The amounts of remuneration for all Directors, including monetary and non-monetary components, are detailed in the Directors Report under the key management personnel remuneration heading. All remuneration paid to Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expenses. Shares given to Executives are valued as the difference in the market value of those shares and the amount paid by the Executive. Options given to Executives are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

Corporate Reporting

The Directors has made the following certifications to the Board:

  • that the Company‟s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial condition and operational results of the Company and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; and

  • that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board and that the Company‟s risk management and internal compliance and control is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

Code of Conduct

The Company has developed a Code of Conduct (the Code) which has been fully endorsed by the Board and applies to all directors and employees. The Code is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company‟s integrity.

In summary, the Code requires that at all times all Company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity, in the best interests of the Company and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and Company policies.

Any breaches of the Code are reported to the chairman in the first instance for notification to the Board.

The directors are satisfied that the Company has complied with its policies on ethical standards, including trading in securities.

Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication

The Company has a policy that information concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the Company‟s securities is continuously disclosed as required under the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) listing rules.

The Company encourages communication with shareholders and the attendance and effective participation by shareholders at general meetings.

The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company‟s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX.

Annual and half yearly reports are made available on the Company‟s website and mailed to those shareholders who request a hard copy.

Explanations for Departures from Best Practice Recommendations

Principle 1 Recommendation 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 Notification of Departure:

The Company has not: (1) formally disclosed the functions reserved to the Board and those delegated to senior executives; (2) formally disclosed the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives, and; (3) whether a performance evaluation for senior executives has taken place in the reporting period and whether it was in accordance with the process which is to be disclosed.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board recognises the importance of distinguishing between the respective roles and responsibilities of the Board and management, and evaluating the performance of senior executives. The Board has established a framework for the management of the Company and the roles and responsibilities of the Board and management. Previously, due to the small size of the Board and of the Company, the Board did not think that it was necessary to formally document the roles of the Board and management as these roles were clearly understood by all members of the Board and management. The Board is responsible for the strategic direction of the Company, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals, monitoring the overall corporate governance of the Company and ensuring that shareholder value is increased.

Principle 2 Recommendation 2.1 Notification of Departure:

The Board does not have a majority of independent Directors.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board has been structured such that its composition and size will enable it to effectively discharge its responsibilities and duties. Each Director has the relevant industry experience and specific expertise relevant to the Company‟s business and level of operations. The Board considers that its structure is, and will continue to be, appropriate in the context of the Company‟s recent history. The Company considers that the non-independent Directors possess the skills and experience suitable for building the Company. Furthermore, the Board considers that in the current phase of the Company‟s growth, the Company‟s shareholders are better served by directors who have a vested interest in the Company. The Board intends to reconsider its composition as the Company‟s operations evolve, and may appoint independent directors as it deems appropriate.

As of the date of this report the Company has 2 non-independent directors (including the Chairman) and 2 independent directors.

Principle 2 Recommendation 2.4 Notification of Departure:

The full Board carries out the role of a nomination committee, and therefore a charter relevant to the specific functions of a nomination committee have not been adopted.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board considers that no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate nomination committee, in particular at this early stage of the Company‟s operations, where the Company‟s focus is on the retention of directors and senior executives. In the future, as the Company grows and increases in size and level of activity, the Board will reconsider the establishment of a separate nomination committee.

Principle 2 Recommendation 2.5 Notification of Departure:

The Company has not disclosed the process for evaluating the performance of the Board, and individual directors.

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E


Explanation for Departure:

The Board considers that at this time no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by introducing formal evaluations. In the future, as the Company grows and increases in size and activity, the Board will consider the establishment of formal Board and individual director evaluation processes.

Principle 2 Recommendation 2.6 Notification of Departure:

The Company has not disclosed whether a performance evaluation for the Board and directors has taken place in the reporting period and whether it was in accordance with a disclosed process.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board considers that at this time no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by introducing formal evaluations. In the future, as the Company grows and increases in size and activity, the Board will consider the establishment of formal Board and individual director evaluation processes.

Principle 3 Recommendation 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 Notification of Departure:

The Company has not established and disclosed a diversity policy.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board considers that at this time no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by introducing a formal diversity policy. In the future, as the Company grows and increases in size and activity, the Board will consider the establishment of a formal diversity policy.

Currently there is 1 woman in the Company (being the Company Secretary). Other than the Board members, there are no employees within the Company.

Principle 4 Recommendation 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 Notification of Departure:

There is no separate Audit Committee.

Explanation for Departure:

The Company‟s financial statements are prepared by the external consultants and reviewed in detail by the Board. The Board also relies on the functions and capabilities of its external auditors to ensure proper audit of financial statements. While the Board considers this process sufficient to ensure integrity in financial reporting in the current circumstances, it will continue to monitor whether any further safeguards are required and make changes as appropriate.

Principle 6 Recommendation 6.1, 6.2 Notification of Departure:

The Company does not have a formal documented Shareholder communication policy.

Explanation for Departure:

The Company strongly encourages more communication between the shareholders and the Company and Board. All general meetings include briefings by Board members to provide a deeper insight into the Company, opportunities for the shareholders to have their questions answered, and following all general meetings, the directors encourage shareholders to chat informally with them. As the Company grows in size, the Board is very keen to develop more formal and expansive communications with shareholders.

Principle 7 Recommendation 7.1, 7.2, 7.4 Notification of Departure:

The Company has not established and disclosed its risk management policies and assessment framework.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board is aware of the various risks that affect the Company and its particular business. As the Company develops, the Board will further develop appropriate procedures to deal with risk oversight and management and internal compliance, taking into account the size of the Company and the stage of development of its projects.

Principle 8 Recommendation 8.1, 8.2, 8.4 Notification for departure:

The Company has not established a separate remuneration committee.

Explanation for Departure:

Due to the early stage of development and small size of the Company, a separate remuneration committee was not considered to add any efficiency to the process of determining the levels of remuneration for the Directors and key executives. The Board considers that it is more appropriate to set aside time at 2 Board meetings each year to specifically address matters that would ordinarily fall to a remuneration committee. In addition, all matters of remuneration will continue to be in accordance with Corporations Act requirements, especially in respect of related party transactions. That is, none of the Directors participate in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues.

Horseshoe Project (100%)

(Horseshoe West E52/2016 & Horseshoe South E52/2569)

Horseshoe West E52/2016 lies between the Horseshoe Lights copper-gold deposit which is 10 km to the east and the Fortnum Gold Mine situated 12 km to the west, while Horseshoe South is situated 3km south of the Horseshoe Lights copper-gold deposit. The main target sought is a copper-gold deposit similar to that of the old Horseshoe Lights mine, which has produced 1.6 million tonnes for 217,500ozs of gold at a grade of 4.29gm/t and 1.7 million tonnes treated for 54,800 tonnes of copper (3.24%); 94,000ozs Gold (1.73gm/t); 2,928,000ozs silver (53.9gm/t) and 52,800kg of mercury (31.3gm/t).

The Horseshoe Lights deposit is hosted by the Narracoota Formation in close proximity to the overlying Ravelstone Formation (Thaduna Greywackes).

The Horseshoe West prospect being explored by United Orogen is occupied by Thaduna Greywackies of the Ravelstone Formation where exposed but much of the ground is covered by sands, clays and gravels. Rock chip sampling has produced up to 52ppb gold and soil sampling has given up to 38 ppb gold.

The Horseshoe South prospect lies 3km south of the old Horseshoe Lights mine. It occupies 3km² and it is known to contain Narracoota Volcanics. This prospect will be targeted for north west trending gold bearing structures.

A Helicopter borne XTEM Electromagnetic Airborne Geophysical survey was completed by GPX Surveys and our consultant geophysical group Newexco Services Pty Ltd analysed the data and determined no deep conductors were detected and therefore no massive sulphides would be present. The survey covered an area of 15 km² at the Horseshoe West tenement in an area of anomalous soil samples produced from the earlier work and a smaller area of 3km² on the Horseshoe South tenement. Regional geophysical and the tenement soil geochemical data are being examined within a structural framework for possible associated gold targets.

Victoria Desert Project (100%)

(Victoria Desert E39/1528 & Victoria Desert North E39/1594)

The Project area is situated 250km ENE of Kalgoorlie and covers an area of approximately 144km² and is prospective for gold, base metals and uranium.

E39/1528 contains a north west trending magnetic high interpreted to be part of a remnant greenstone belt that would be prospective for gold. Previous exploration identified gold and base metals anomalies which were delineated from 900 short vacuum drilling holes varying in depth from 3 to 6 metres. Follow up closer spaced infill surface sampling is planned with the aim of identifying drill targets in the vicinity of the previous Gold and base metals anomalies.

The northern part of the project E39/1594 is underlain by narrow belts of north west trending greenstone within granites interpreted from aeromagnetic surveys. The area is therefore prospective for gold and base metals. A previous explorer identified 6 regional untested gold targets 2 of which fall within the Company‟s tenements and both of which target pressure shadows associated with an interpreted north-west trending ovoid intrusive. Also associated with either side of this structure, are two prospective interpreted north-west trending shear zones. The Company will follow up these targets with surface sampling with an aim of identifying drill targets.

Gunnedo Project (100%)

(EL69/2808)

The exploration licence covers a coincident gravity and magnetic anomaly within the Eucla Basin. The basement is thought to be an Achaean craton. The targets are base metals and gold. Gunnedo is situated 450 km east of Kalgoorlie and lies partly on the Gunnedorah Pastoral Lease; access is along the Transcontinental Railway line. The targets are deep and are based on geophysical responces such as gravity and magnetic. This exploration area is grass roots and new but the potential is for large deposits.

Redmond Project (100%)

(E70/4073 application)

This project covers approximately 37km² and is centered on the Blue Gum gold prospect which was reported on in newspapers in the late 1890's. The historical workings are reported to be situated approximately 24km south west of Mt Barker in Western Australia and consisted of several vertical shafts and small pits. With the passage of time all surface evidence has since disappeared due to farming activity. The workings pre-date official Mines Department records, therefore besides the noted 1890's newspaper reports lodged at the department there are no official mining lease records.

The project area lies within the Albany-Fraser Proterozoic Mobile Belt and is prospective for gold and base metals.

Exploration within the tenement area has been limited to some soil sampling carried out by Wilga Mines NL in 1995 which did not yield encouraging results and 4 Rotary Air Blast (RAB) holes drilled in 1997 to approximate depths of 20m each by Tramore Bay Pty Ltd. It was reported these holes were drilled to determine the nature of the geology and the magnetic anomaly situated adjacent to and between the Redmond Road and Blue Gum Creek. The results indicated that mafic rocks were present over a wider area than originally interpolated and not enough information had been collected to determine the areas potential and recommended further exploration. The gold reef reportedly mined in the 1890‟s has therefore not been adequately tested.

The Company's exploration will concentrate on sourcing historical maps and records from the late 1890's to determine the exact location of the reported gold reef and using modern day exploration techniques will determine the gold and base metal potential of the project.

Tambellup Project (100%)

(Tambellup E70/4173 Application Tambellup East E70/4174 Application)

The Company has applied for two exploration licenses covering approximately 395km² situated 100km north of Albany and approximately 30km south of Katanning.

The project area lies within the Yilgarn Craton South West Terrane with the Albany-Fraser Proterozoic Mobile Belt lying to the south and is prospective for gold and base metals.

The Company is targeting structural targets for gold mineralisation namely the north west trending Darken fault zone which is interpreted from geophysical work to trend from Boddington situated 137km to the north west and the lesser Kojonup fault which lies 5-6km to the south and runs parallel to the Darken fault.

The only recorded historical exploration of the western project area E70/4173 is an exploration license which was held by Goldport Pty Ltd for a year and surrendered due to financial constraints in 2009. They carried out desktop studies to attempt to identify if structural similarities exist with the Blackburn/Badgebup and Boddington gold deposits. No fieldwork was completed.

The eastern project area E70/4174 was held for a year by Falcon Minerals. They were interested in the area after identifying regionally elevated Ni-Cu values located to the east of Tambellup from the CSIRO/CRC LEME regional laterite geochemical database for the Western Yilgarn Craton. They interpreted an analogy to the Voisey‟s Bay Nickel project in Canada and analysed historic water bores for whole rock, rare earth, base metal and trace elements and concluded that the project contained the essential ingredients to form a mafic hosted Nickel sulphide system. Subsequent geochemical soil sampling over the prospective part of the project area defined nine nickel and copper anomalous areas, eight of which fall within the Company‟s tenement area. They concluded that there appeared to be a mafic source generating the anomalism and recommended a moving loop EM survey to be conducted to better define the targets; this survey or any additional work was not carried out and the tenement was surrendered in 2008.

There has been no other reported exploration within the project area and therefore the area is underexplored and is considered “grassroots exploration”.

Other gold deposits and mineralisation in the region besides the world class Boddington mine 137km to the north west include the Badgebup gold mine located 50 km to the north of E70/4174, some recorded gold mining near Wagin 50 km to the north of E70/4173 carried out in the early 1900‟s and there was also exploration success (3m @ 11g/t Au) in drilling at Nanicup 48km to the north east.

The Company‟s exploration will concentrate on sourcing and analysing data and using modern day exploration techniques which will determine the gold and base metal potential of the project.

Joint Ventures

Canning Basin

EP448, in which United Orogen Limited has a 10% interest is in joint venture with Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd and Indigo Oil Pty Ltd. Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd is the operator of a major exploration program for oil and gas in the West Australian Canning Basin of which EP448 is part.

Exploration Tenements Relinquished, Withdrawn and Divested

Western Australia

Wanarary (E69/2475) and Hann Well (E69/2476)

The target sought was a channel iron deposit and internal research of all the drill holes in the vicinity of these exploration licences plus those tenements held by our Joint Venture partners Empire Resources Ltd and Mr A. Jessop concluded the prospects for this ground was poor therefore the Company withdrew from the Joint venture and surrendered it‟s tenements.

Victoria Desert North (Lower) (E39/1620) Application Withdrawn

This application was withdrawn after a review of the data, a lower uranium price and a decision to concentrate on gold exploration in the northern part of this project which is more prospective for gold.

Northern Territory

Sale of Northern Territory Tenements to Iron Mountain Mining Limited (Treasure (EL25346) Florence Creek (EL25894) and Lucky U (EL25329))

An agreement was reached with Iron Mountain Mining Limited for the sale of Northern Territory tenements for the issue of 3.5 million fully paid ordinary shares in Iron Mountain Mining Limited and the grant of 15 million 20 cent options exercisable on or before 1 May 2016 on the terms set out in the Explanatory Memorandum, in the notice of meeting announced on the 18[th] April 2011. The sale was ratified by shareholders at a general meeting held on Friday 27[th] May 2011.


The information within this report as it relates to geology and mineral resources was compiled by the Managing Director, Mr Noel Taylor. He has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and the type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, the JORC Code”. Mr Taylor consents to the inclusion in the report of matters based on information in the form and context which it appears.


Significant Changes in State of Affairs

During the year ended 30 June 2011, the company sold a property located at Mackie Street, Victoria Park to Iron Mountain Mining Limited in consideration for 10,000,000 shares, 15,000,000 options in Iron Mountain Mining Limited and $85,000 cash.

During the year ended 30 June 2011, the company sold the following Mineral Tenements:

  • Florence Creek (EL25894)

  • Lucky U Project (EL25329)

  • Treasure Project (EL25346)

to Iron Mountain Mining Limited in consideration for 3,500,000 shares, 15,000,000 options in Iron Mountain Mining Limited and $46,750 cash.

During the year ended 30 June 2011, 2,000,000 options have been issued to the company‟s managing director Noel Taylor, with an exercise price of 20 cents and expiring on 1 May 2016.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the company during the year other than for the loss for the year as noted elsewhere in this report.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

A General Meeting of shareholders was held on 26 August 2011. At this meeting, the shareholders of the company approved Iron Mountain Mining Ltd taking up 20 million shares (at 3 cents) in the company‟s shortfall from its Right Issue offer (total value of this transaction was $600,000).

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the company in future years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

Likely developments, future prospects and business strategies of the operations of the company and the expected results of those operations have not been included in this report as the directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that the inclusion of such information would likely result in unreasonable prejudice to the company.

Environmental Regulation

The directors believe the company is not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or a State or Territory.

Greenhouse Gas and Energy data reporting requirements

The company has assessed its reporting obligations under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 and Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006. For the year ended 30 June 2011 the company was below the reported thresholds for both legislative reporting requirements and therefore is not required to register or report. The company will continue to monitor its registration and reporting requirements however it does not expect to have future reporting requirements.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The information contained in the remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The Company‟s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of board members and senior executives are as follows:

Executive Remuneration

The Company‟s remuneration policy for executive directors is designed to promote superior performance and long term commitment to the Company. Executives receive a base salary which is market related. Overall remuneration policies are subject to the discretion of the Board and can be changed to reflect competitive market and business conditions where it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to do so. The Board‟s reward policy reflects its obligation to align executive‟s remuneration with shareholders‟ interests and retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of the Company. The main principles of the policy are:

  • Reward reflects the competitive market in which the Company operates

  • Individual reward should be linked to performance criteria; and

  • Executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.

Refer below for details of Executive Directors‟ remuneration.

Non- Executive Remuneration

Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors. The Board recommends the actual payments to Directors. The maximum aggregate remuneration approved for Non-Executive Directors is currently $100,000. All Directors are entitled to have any indemnity insurance paid by the Company (currently nil). Currently each Non-Executive Director is entitled to receive $45,000 per annum (plus statutory superannuation entitlements).

Refer below for details of Non-Executive Directors‟ remuneration.

The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of Executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. Refer to Note 14(b) of the financial report for details of all Directors‟ share and option holdings.

The Executive Directors and Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Options are valued using either the Black-Scholes or binomial methodologies.

United Orogen Limited Financial Report 2011 ABN: 45 115 593 005

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T


The board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $100,000). Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors‟ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in an employee option plan (none adopted to date).

Performance based remuneration

The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into Director and executive remuneration packages.

The Board believes that as the company is in its start up phase of development it is not feasible to establish meaningful Key Performance Indicators from which to base Director and Executive remuneration packages. Once the company is more fully established the Board will reconsider this policy.

Details of remuneration

Details of the remuneration of the directors and key management personnel of United Orogen Limited are set out below.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (including Australian Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial statements of United Orogen Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.

Critical accounting estimates and significant judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company‟s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

Financial statement presentation

The Company has applied the revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements which became effective on 1 January 2009. The revised standard requires the separate presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and a statement of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity must now be presented in the statement of comprehensive income. As a consequence, the Company had to change the presentation of its financial statements. Comparative information has been re-presented so that it is also in conformity with the revised standard.

(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.

Change in accounting policy

The Company has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments from 1 July 2009. AASB 8 replaces AASB 114 Segment Reporting . The new standard requires a „management approach‟, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This change in policy has not changed the number or nature of reportable segments.

(c) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is written off as incurred.

When production commences, development costs will be capitalised for the relevant area of interest and then amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. Any costs of site restoration are provided for during the relevant production stages, (where the liabilities exist) and included in the costs of that stage.

(d) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset‟s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(e) Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset‟s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

(f) Property, Plant & Equipment

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

Property

Freehold land and buildings are shown at cost less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 1


Plant & equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the diminishing value method over their estimated useful lives to the Company. The depreciation rates used for each class of asset for the current period are as follows:

Land & Buildings 2.5%
Computer Equipment 50%

Assets are depreciated from the date the asset is ready for use.

The assets‟ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset‟s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset‟s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets continual use or subsequent disposal.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income.

(g) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax is accounted for using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, in a transaction other than a business combination is not accounted for if it arises that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit nor 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 asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred 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 controlled entities 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.

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 tax 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.

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 1


Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or 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.

(i) Investment allowances

The Company may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying assets (investment allowances). The Company accounts for such allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unclaimed tax credits that are carried forward as deferred tax assets.

(h) Employee Benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other creditors in respect of employees‟ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is in accordance with (i) above. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(i)

Share-based payments

The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares („equity-settled transactions‟).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award („vesting date‟).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 1


Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award.

(j) Investments and other Financial Assets

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments or other financial assets at initial recognition.

Recognition

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

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting period.

Subsequent Measurement

Available for sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of available for sale financial assets are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Details on how the fair value of financial investments is determined are disclosed in note 2.

Loans and receivables

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

Impairment

The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Company‟s financial assets carried at amortised cost, the 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 not been incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset‟s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, high liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown with borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(l) 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. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Option fee income is recognised when payment for the option fee is received. Revenue from the sale of investments is recognised when the relevant sale contract is executed.

(m) Contributed Equity

Ordinary issued share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction in share proceeds received.

(n) Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

(o) Joint Venture Operations

Interest in the joint venture operation is brought to account by including in the respective classifications, the share of individual assets employed and share of liabilities and expenses incurred.

(p) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims and make good obligations are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management‟s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

(q) Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis.

(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

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

(s) Going Concern

For the year ended 30 June 2011, the company recorded a loss of $265,613 (2010: $1,004,669). At 30 June 2011, the cash balance was $418,154 (2010: $688,421).

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have determined that future capital raisings or asset sales will be required in order to continue the Company‟s exploration and development of its mining tenements to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves.

The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the company raising further capital or realising funds from the sale of assets sufficient to meet the company‟s expenditure commitments.

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the foreseeable future reflecting the above mentioned expectations and their effect upon United Orogen Ltd. The achievement of the forecast is dependent upon the future capital raising and/or sale of assets, the outcome of which is uncertain.

In the event that sufficient capital raising or asset sales at an amount and timing necessary to meet the future budgeted operational and investing activities of the company is unfavourable the Directors believe that they will be able to contain the operating and investment activities sufficiently to ensure that United Orogen Ltd can meet its debts as and when they become due and payable.

In the event that the events referred to above results in a negative outcome, then the going concern basis of accounting may not be appropriate with the result that the company may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and in amounts different from that stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should United Orogen Ltd not be able to continue as a going concern.

(t) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of service equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial 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) Comparatives

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(v) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. The Company‟s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

(i) 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 from 1 January 2013)

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 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 Company is yet to assess its full impact. However, initial indications are that it will not affect the Company‟s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, as AASB 9 appears to continue the current treatment of the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading.

There will be no impact on the Company‟s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Company does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Company has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 9.

(ii) Revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (effective from 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 and removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities. The Company will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2011. When the amendments are applied, the Company 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.

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 1


(iii) AASB 2009-14 Amendments to Australian Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (effective from 1 January 2011)

In December 2009, the AASB made an amendment to Interpretation 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. The amendment removes an unintended consequence of the interpretation related to voluntary prepayments when there is a minimum funding requirement in regard to the entity's defined benefit scheme. It permits entities to recognise an asset for a prepayment of contributions made to cover minimum funding requirements. The Company does not make any such prepayments. The amendment is therefore not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2011.

(iv) 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. United Orogen Limited 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 Company.

(v) 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 will affect particularly entities that sell, factor, securities, lend or otherwise transfer financial assets to other parties. They are not expected to have any significant impact on the Company‟s disclosures. The Company intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2011.

(vi) 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 or 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 Company will apply the amendment from 1 July 2012. It is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment.

None of the other standards or amendments released are expected to have an impact on the Company.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company‟s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Board in their day to day function as the overseers of the business. Where necessary the Board provides principles for overall risk areas, as well as defined policies for specific risks such as foreign exchange and credit risk.

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign Exchange Risk

The company‟s operations are limited to domestic activities within Australia.

(ii) Price risk

The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Company and classified on the statement of financial position as available-for-sale. The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk.

The majority of the Company‟s equity investments are publicly traded and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The company manages equity securities price risk by only investing in companies where the Board has a detailed understanding of its financial and operational position.

The table below summarises the impact of the all ordinaries index on the Company's post-tax profit for the year and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that the all ordinaries index had increased by 7.84% (2010 – increased by 9.55%) with all other variables held constant and all the Company‟s equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with the index.

The Company‟s equity investments do not form part of any quoted index. Accordingly the company has adopted the movement in the all ordinaries index for the purpose of assessing the sensitivity of equity securities price risk as this index is the commonly accepted measure of general quoted equity investment price movement. This methodology and assumptions in measuring equity security price risk is consistent with the prior reporting period.

Impact on Post Tax Profit Impact on Post Tax Profit Impact on Equity Impact on Equity
2011 2010 2011 2010
$ $ $ $
All ordinaries index 689,500 256,147 510,422 413,694

Post tax profit and equity would further increase as a result of gains on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.

Given the nature of the financial assets, the Directors believe the all ordinaries index is the most appropriate benchmark to measure the sensitivity of the price risk of the company‟s listed financial investments. However, it should be noted that the maximum negative impact on net loss is $2,347,713.

(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Company's main interest rate risk arises from funds on interest bearing deposits. Funds on interest bearing deposits at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During 2010 and 2011, the Company‟s funds on deposit at variable rate were denominated in Australian Dollars only.

As at the reporting date, the Company had the following variable rate interest bearing deposits:

The company has assessed that the impact of movements in interest rates does not have a material impact on the net profit after tax. Accordingly the company‟s funds on deposit are managed according to the cash flow requirements of the company rather than impact of interest rate risk.

Company sensitivity

At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had changed by -100/+70 basis points (2010 -/+ 80 basis points) from the year-end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been $3,005 lower/$2,104 higher (2010 – change of 80 bps: $10,946 lower/higher), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents. Equity would have been $3,005 lower/$2,104 higher (2010 - $10,946 lower/higher) mainly as a result of an increase/decrease in the interest income from cash and cash equivalents. The sensitivity disclosed is based on a reasonable estimate using available information of the possible movement in interest rates applicable to the company‟s investments to illustrate the impact on equity and net profit such movements would have.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a Company basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions and receivables from Joint Venture and Farm-In operations.

The Company‟s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

The Directors believe that there is negligible credit risk with the cash and cash equivalents, as funds are held at call with a reputable Australian Banking Institution with a S & P long term credit rating of AA.

At balance date the company has no outstanding trade receivables.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Surplus funds are generally only invested at call interest bearing deposits or in bank bills that are highly liquid and with maturities of less than six months.

Financing arrangements

The company does not have any financing arrangements.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The Company‟s only debt relates to trade payables where payments are generally within 30 days.

(d) Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the bid price at the end of the financial year.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, investments in unlisted subsidiaries) is determined using net asset value.

As of 1 July 2009, United Orogen Limited has adopted the amendment to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures which requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2),and

(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following tables present the Company‟s assets measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2011. Comparative information has not been provided as permitted by the transitional provisions of the new rules.

Company – at 30 June 2011 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets
Equity securities 2,347,713 - - 2,347,713
Total assets 2,347,713 - - 2,347,713

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid prices at the end of the financial year. These instruments are included in Level 1.

The carrying value of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Key estimates

(i) Impairment

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

During the year ended 30 June 2011, the Company made significant judgement about the impairment of a number of its available-for-sale financial assets.

The Company follows the guidance of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on determining when an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and near term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flows.

The decline in fair value below cost for some of these assets has been considered to be significant and/or prolonged. The Company has recorded an impairment loss during the year ended 30 June 2011, being the transfer of the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity on the impaired available-for-sale financial assets to the statement of comprehensive income.

(ii) Exploration & Evaluation Expenditure

The Company‟s accounting policy for exploration & evaluation expenditure results in the expense to the statement of comprehensive income all exploration & evaluation expenditure. Management has taken the judgement that the company‟s projects are in an early stage of development and as such management have the judgement that there is insufficient evidence to justify the capitalisation of exploration & evaluation expenditure incurred.

Bralich Holdings Joint Venture

Bralich Holdings Pty Ltd (Bralich) and the company have entered into a Joint Venture on 5 tenements in the Northern Territory whereby the company keeps the tenements in good standing for two years to earn 70% interest in those leases. Good standing means meeting minimum Mines Department commitments plus other ongoing commitments of the Northern Territory Government and Local Governments.

On 24 July 2007 the company issued Bralich one million options for the right to enter into the Joint Venture.

United Orogen Limited has reduced its interest in the 5 tenements down to an interest in 2, EL25329 Lucky U and EL25346 Treasure.

In addition, Bralich and the company have entered into a Joint Venture on another Prospect, EL25894 Florence Creek, but in this instance the company earns 50% interest in the tenement for keeping the lease in good standing.

The Joint Ventures commenced on 23 January 2007.

United Orogen Limited sold its interest in this Joint Venture to Iron Mountain Mining Limited on 3 June 2011.

Treasure Joint Venture

Iron Mountain Mining Limited holds 30% equity over Northern Territory exploration licence EL 25346, after its takeover of Aluminex Resources Limited in December 2009, with the remaining 70% equity held by the company.

The company entered a Heads of Agreement with Mithril Resources Ltd in September 2008. Under the terms of the agreement Mithril Resources Ltd can earn an interest of 60% after spending $1,000,000 after 3 years. Mithril Resources Ltd can earn a further 20% interest by spending a further $1,000,000, taking the total interest to 80%. The company‟s interest will be diluted down to 14% should Mithril complete its expenditure commitments in full.

In June 2010 United Orogen Limited announced that Iron Mountain Mining Limited intended to take over its interests in the Northern Territory Tenements EL25894 (Florence Creek), EL25346 (Treasure) and EL25329 (Lucky U). Diluting United Orogen‟s interest in the tenements to Nil. This is subject to and conditional upon shareholder approval of both United Orogen Limited and Iron Mountain Mining Limited.

United Orogen Limited sold its interest in this Joint Venture to Iron Mountain Mining Limited on 3 June 2011.
