LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder

The Company’s financial performance in the 2012-2013 financial year was again excellent.

However, as the Managing Director has observed there are continuing challenges facing our future viability.

Regrettably, one of those challenges continues to be gaining approval to clear land on our mining lease. In previous annual reports we have pointed out the vagaries of obtaining clearing permits to clear land on our environmentally approved mining lease. Our efforts to resolve this unsatisfactory situation seemed to have met with some success last year when we finally arrived at an agreement with government about the processes and standards that would be applied to assessing our clearing permits applications. Rather distressingly, that agreement was disregarded without consultation earlier this year and the imbroglio of the clearing permit process has returned with a vengeance.

While we are grateful the former Minister approved an extension of our mining lease to 2034, the medium term plans we should now be able to make are once again being thwarted by uncertainties over access to our resource base. We remain hopeful however that the incoming government, with its commitment to the removal of unnecessary red tape, will see the merits of us not being prohibited from mining on our environmentally approved mining lease.

The intended downsizing of the refugee intake by the new Government will inevitably lead to a decline in economic activity and the population on Christmas Island. In such a scenario, any unnecessary restrictions placed on our mining operations will only serve to exacerbate the economic fortunes of the Island and the Island community.

We will continue to support research into alternative economic developments for the Island and to this end remain committed to assisting Murdoch University in its studies of the potential for high value agricultural use of exhausted mining areas.

Notwithstanding our interest, the company is unlikely at present to be prepared to invest in any other economic development on the Island. The time and costs involved in obtaining approvals, in our judgement, are likely to remove any prospect of any new project being commercially viable.

Our approach would be more positive if the whole of Executive Government was prepared to promulgate its support of economic development on the Island and the reservation of sufficient areas of Crown Land for those purposes.

In the absence of government recognising the significance of social and economic pursuits on the Island, then it is unlikely that there will be any meaningful resident population on the Island post mining. We hope that other sectors of the Island community will join us in continuing to press the government to provide proper endorsement of development on the Island to ensure people’s rights to have an economic livelihood are protected.

There is reason to be hopeful the incoming government will listen to the views of the Island community and endorse a plan that facilitates economic and social development outside the sixty four percent of the island that is reserved for preservation purposes in the national park.

i

While this report has focused on the key challenge facing our mining operations, it should be viewed in the context of the company’s achievements over the past year. These included delivering a very healthy profit, an extension of our mining lease and an opportunity for shareholders to participate in the share buy- back scheme. These achievements have been possible due to a forward thinking Board, astute management and the cooperation and commitment of our employees, contractors and professional advisers.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Dear Shareholder

It is with pleasure that I table the Phosphate Resources Limited Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2013.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION OVERVIEW

The company has managed to achieve an after tax profit from mining alone of some $20.9 million. During the year the company was able to provide its shareholders with an opportunity to realise the benefits of profitability and growth of the company over the past five years.

The company was able to offer a buy back opened on an equal access basis to all shareholders at $20 per share for up to 20% of the issued shares. At the close of that offer the total acceptances that were received allowed the cancellation of some 16% of our issued shares.

Our mining operation shipped a slightly improved 672,000 tonnes of phosphate product in FY 2013.

Total output for the year was impacted by the need to have an extended shutdown for installation of the first phase of the cascade loading system which should ultimately increase loading rates as well as improve the environmental outcomes. An abnormal extended wet season also hampered production in the last quarter

Although we have had good results over the past two years it would be unwise to be complacent about our ongoing viability.

Our market share in Malaysia and Indonesia is under pressure from Middle Eastern, North African and South American producers. Downward pressure on prices has resulted and this has been further compounded by a very weak market in palm oil. Fortunately, to date, this has been largely offset by the downward trend of the Australian dollar.

However, we have to recognise that if we are to survive as a high cost producer constrained by comparatively high Australian costs and taxation levels all direct or indirect participants in our operations have to continuously strive to upgrade their efficiency. This applies to all parties from the mine sites through to those providing assistance with shipping and particularly includes those involved in maintenance and essential plant and equipment upgrades.

GROUP DEVELOPMENTS

The Consolidated result was recorded as a profit after tax for FY 2013 of $ 24.2million.

Our subsidiary CK Plantations Sdn Bhd achieved a profit after tax of $2.1 million. The result was disappointing due to a major slump in CPO prices. Fortunately plantation yields have returned to a normal level and more fruit has been available for purchase by our mill.

We remain confident, however, that the investment will continue to provide a reasonable return to the Company for the foreseeable future.

Our subsidiary, CI Maintenance Services Pty Ltd (CIMS), which provides accommodation management and maintenance services to the Commonwealth Department of Immigration

and Citizenship on the Island continued to perform strongly. Our contracts were renewed for a further 3 years after we succeeded in winning a new competitive tender for the work.

iii

RESOURCES AND PROJECTS

The Minister has approved a renewed lease for a further 21 years extending our tenure on our primary lease until 2034. In addition our available resources have been increased by some further clearing permit approvals but as the Chairman has indicated some problems remain in these areas.

The Company is continuing a major structural upgrade of all our plant and facilities including upgrades of our fuel farm to ensure we remain as efficient as practicable and compliant with current statutory requirements. We are also hopeful of being able to upgrade the burner systems in our dryers in the coming year and finalise the cantilever loading improvements.

THE YEAR AHEAD

Weather and markets permitting we are confident of being able to sustain production at current or slightly improved levels.

We will continue to press the Commonwealth government to play its part in ensuring a viable community is sustained by making proper provision for infrastructure for the Island. In particular, we believe planning and provision for a proper marine crane facility at the port should be undertaken as a matter of urgency.

In closing I would thank the Board members for their ongoing support and my senior managers and employees for their continued efforts which have enabled us to maintain a viable operation in good condition for the challenges ahead.

  • 1 –

Extraordinary General Meeting on the 16[th] May 2013.

The Company received offers to buy-back 555,200 shares from eligible shareholders. On 12 June 2013, the company bought back these shares at $20 per share resulting in a payment to shareholders of $11.1 million. The buy-back price of $20, comprised of a capital return of $1.31 (amounting to $727,312) and the balance of purchase of $18.69 (amounting to $10,376,688) issued for tax purposes on a fully franked basis.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The Directors note that current strategies suggest that the 2013 financial year will see the Company remain profitable.

REMUNERATION REPORT

The remuneration report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.

For the purposes of this report the term executive encompasses the executive directors, senior executives and Company Secretary of the Parent and the Group.

Remuneration Philosophy

The Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations on compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis. The overall objective is the retention of a high quality board and executive team to maximise value of the shareholders’ investment. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their emoluments in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits, such as motor vehicles and expense payments. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be the most beneficial for the recipient without creating additional cost to Phosphate Resources Limited.

A discretionary bonus scheme for the executive team based on the consolidated profit after tax was continued for the current year.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors.

Executive Remuneration

The remuneration of executives is generally reviewed annually with the review taking into consideration the contribution of the individual commensurate with the performance of the group and comparable employment market conditions. The executive salary can be packaged and includes a cash component and other remuneration including salary sacrificed superannuation and non-cash benefits such as motor vehicles. The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration. No component of the executive salary is at risk.

Executives are given short term incentive in the form of cash bonus which is calculated based on the profit after tax for the year and is ultimately at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Employment Contracts

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the executive directors and the executives are formalised in services agreements. These agreements have a fixed term of three years.

AASB 10 establishes a new control model that
applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB

consolidated financial statements and UIG-112
_Consolidation
-Special Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations
when an entity is considered to be controlled by
another entity and includes new guidance for
applying the model to specific situations,
including when acting as a manager may give
control, the impact of potential voting rights
and when holding less than a majority voting
rights may give control.
Consequential amendments were also made to
this and other standards via AASB 2011-7 and

Joint

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131_Interests in Joint_

AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10
to define joint control, and therefore the
determination of whether joint control exists
may change. In addition it removes the option
to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs)
using proportionate consolidation. Instead,
accounting for a joint arrangement is
dependent on the nature of the rights and
obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint
operations that give the venturers a right to the
underlying assets and obligations themselves is
accounted for by recognising the share of those
assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give
the venturers a right to the net assets is
accounted for using the equity method.
Consequential amendments were also made to
this and other standards via AASB 2011-7, AASB
2010-10 and amendments to AASB 128.

Fair Value
Measurement
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance
for determining the fair value of assets and

entity is required to use fair value, but rather,
provides guidance on how to determine fair
value when fair value is required or permitted.
Application of this definition may result in
different fair values being determined for the
relevant assets.
AASB 13 also expands the disclosure
requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at
fair value. This includes information about the
assumptions made and the qualitative impact
of those assumptions on the fair value
determined.

Employee
Benefits
The main change introduced by this standard is
to revise the accounting for defined benefit
plans. The amendment removes the options for
accounting for the liability, and requires that the
liabilities arising from such plans is recognised in
full with actuarial gains and losses being
recognised in other comprehensive income. It
also revised the method of calculating the
return on plan assets.
The revised standard changes the definition of
short-term employee benefits. The distinction
between short-term and other long-term
employee benefits is now based on whether the
benefits are expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the reporting date.

Financial
Instruments
AASB 9 includes requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial
assets. It was further amended by AASB 2010-7
to reflect amendments to the accounting for
financial liabilities.
These requirements improve and simplify the
approach for classification and measurement
of financial assets compared with the
requirements of AASB 139. The main changes
are described below.
(a)
Financial assets that are debt instruments
will be classified based on (1) the objective
of the entity's business model for managing
the financial assets; (2) the characteristics
of the contractual cash flows.
(b)
Allows an irrevocable election on initial
recognition to present gains and losses on
investments in equity instruments that are
not held for trading in other comprehensive
income. Dividends in respect of these
investments that are a return on investment
can be recognised in profit or loss and
there is no impairment or recycling on
disposal of the instrument.
(c)
Financial assets can be designated and
measured at fair value through profit or loss
at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or
significantly reduces a measurement or
recognition inconsistency that would arise
from measuring assets or liabilities, or
recognising the gains and losses on them,
on different bases.
(d)
Where the fair value option is used for
financial liabilities the change in fair value is
to be accounted for as follows:

The change attributable to changes in
credit risk are presented in other
comprehensive income (OCI)

The remaining change is presented in
profit or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an
accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the
effect of the changes in credit risk are also
presented in profit or loss.
Consequential amendments were also made
to other standards as a result of AASB 9,
introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded
by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

(c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Phosphate Resources Limited and its subsidiaries and as at and for the period ended 30 June each year (the Group). Interests in associates are equity accounted and are not part of the consolidated Group.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends have been eliminated in full.

All controlled entities have a June financial year-end with the exception of the companies domiciled in China which have a December year-end.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Investments in subsidiaries held by Phosphate Resources Limited are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other revenues in the separate income statement of the parent entity, and do not impact the recorded cost of the investment. Upon receipt of dividend payments from subsidiaries, the parent will assess whether any indicators of impairment of the carrying value of the investment in the subsidiary exist. Where such indicators exist, to the extent that the carrying value of the investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.

The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

  • 18 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

(d) Income tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement 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 income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(e) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of mining stocks includes direct materials, direct labour, transportation costs and variable and fixed overhead costs relating to mining activities. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

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

Property

Freehold land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation on buildings.

Plant and equipment

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

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets (refer to note 2(l) for accounting policy on recoverable amount).

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • 19 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land are depreciated on a straight line or diminishing balance basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciation assets are:

iation assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Leasehold and strata title properties Shorter of the
lease and 2%
Plant and equipment under lease:
- the shorter of the lease term and life span 20 – 30%
Plant and equipment 13 – 40%
Mine properties Life of mine

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

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

(g) Mining tenements and exploration expenditure

Costs incurred during exploration and evaluation activities related to an area of interest are accumulated at cost.

Such costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area of interest, or alternatively its sale, or where activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active operations are continuing.

Accumulated costs in relation to abandoned areas of interest are written off in full in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(h) Mine properties

Costs incurred prior to the start up of operations or mining assets acquired are accumulated at cost. Such costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful exploitation of the known reserves.

Impairment

The carrying amount of mine properties is reviewed annually by the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these assets (refer to note 2(l) for accounting policy on recoverable amount).

  • 20 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

(i) Restoration

Estimated rehabilitation expenditure is recognised as a provision when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

The amortisation or ‘unwinding’ of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provision is charged to the income statement in each accounting period, and is disclosed as a financing cost.

Other changes in the measurement of an existing restoration obligation that result from changes in the estimated timing or amount of future costs, or a change in the discount rate, are recognised as an adjustment to the restoration asset.

(j) Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the economic entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.

Lease payments of operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straightline basis over the life of the lease term.

(k) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Group to provide an economic hedge of exposures to exchange rates. The consolidated entity does not apply hedge accounting and accordingly all fair value movements on derivative financial instruments are recognised in the Income Statement.

Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

The fair values of forward currency contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

(l) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those

  • 21 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(m) Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to the identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Research and Development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies indicate that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

(n) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is determined by reference to the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.

  • 22 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.

  • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(o) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(p) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 to 90 day terms, are carried at nominal amounts due less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written-off when identified.

Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. An estimate for doubtful debts is determined based on the net assets of the related party.

(q) Trade and other payables

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

(r) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers — being the executive management team.

The group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and

the segments are similar in each of the following respects:

  • Nature of the products and services

  • Nature of the production processes

  • Type or class of customer for the products and services

  • Methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and if applicable

  • Nature of the regulatory environment

  • 23 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately.

However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

Information about other business activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”.

(s) Business Combination

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, and included in administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

(t) Revenue

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when there has been a passing of the significant risks and rewards of ownership, which means the following:

  • The product is in a form suitable for delivery and no further processing is required by or on behalf of the consolidated entity;

  • The quantity and quality of the product can be determined with reasonable accuracy;

  • The product has been despatched to the customer and is no longer under the physical control of the consolidated entity;

  • The selling price can be measured reliably;

  • It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the consolidated entity; and

  • The costs incurred, or expected to be incurred, in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the Interest accrues using the effective interest rate method (which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset).

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

  • 24 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

Dividends

Revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

(u) Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the income statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

(v) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees up until balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(w) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(x) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income during the period in which they are incurred.

(y) Plantation development costs

Costs incurred on land clearing are capitalised as plantation development costs and is amoritsed over the economic useful life of the asset (25 years). Costs on the concession lease with a term of 60 years are capitalised and amortised over the remaining term of lease.

(z) Biological assets

Biological assets which include mature and immature oil palm plantations are stated at fair value less estimated point of sale costs except when the fair value cannot be measured reliably. In this instance, the biological assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses until such time as its fair value can be reliably measured.

Fresh fruit bunches (which are subsequently milled to become palm oil) is the harvested product of a biological asset and is measured at its fair value less estimated point of sale costs at the point of harvest.

Net movement in fair value less estimated point of sale costs of biological assets are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year they arise.

JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Significant accounting judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Assessment of mine life on Christmas Island

The Financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the resource supports continued operations for at least 5 years on the current market parameters and expectations.

Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves

The Group’s policy for estimating its mineral resources and ore reserves requires that the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2004 (the ‘JORC code’) be used as a minimum standard. The information on mineral resources and ore reserves were prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources and ore reserves determined under the JORC code.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates or production costs may change the economic status of resources and may, ultimately, result in the resources being restated. Such changes in resources could impact on depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values and provisions for decommissioning and restoration.

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is assessed by reference to the higher of ‘value in use’ (being the net present value of expected future cash flows of the relevant cash generating unit) and ‘fair value less costs to sell’.

In determining value in use, future cash flows are based on:

  • Estimates of the quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources;

  • Future production levels;

  • Future commodity prices and foreign exchange rates; and

  • Future cash costs of production and capital expenditure.

Variations to the expected future cash flows, and the timing thereof, could result in significant changes to any impairment losses recognised, if any, which could in turn impact future financial results.

Provisions for decommissioning and restoration costs

Decommissioning and restoration costs are a normal consequence of mining and the majority of this expenditure is incurred at the end of a mine’s life. In determining an appropriate level of provision consideration is given to the expected future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected future costs (largely dependent on the life of the mine), the appropriateness of the discount rate and the estimated future level of inflation.

The ultimate cost of decommissioning and restoration is uncertain and costs can vary in response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirements or the emergence of new restoration techniques. The expected timing of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in reserves or to production rates.

  • 26 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to the level of provisioning required, which would in turn impact future financial results.

Fair value of biological assets

The fair value of the oil palm plantations is estimated by reference to independent professional valuations using the discounted cash flows of the underlying biological assets. The expected cash flows from the whole life cycle of the oil palm plantations is determined using the market price and the estimated yield of the agricultural produce, being FFB, net of maintenance and harvesting costs and any costs required to bring the oil palm plantations to maturity. The estimated yield of the oil palm plantations is dependent on the age of the oil palm trees, location of the plantations, soil type and infrastructure. The market price of FFB is largely dependent on the prevailing market prices of crude palm oil and palm kernel.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, finance leases, cash and short-term deposits, long-term deposits, interest bearing loans and borrowings and foreign exchange derivatives.

Market, liquidity and credit risk (including foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate risk) arise in the normal course of the Group’s business.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate, currency and commodity risk in accordance with the Group's risk management procedures. The overall objective of these procedures is to:

  • Ensure that net cash flows are sufficient to meet all financial commitments as and when they fall due.

  • Support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

  • Minimise the potential adverse effects resulting from volatility on financial markets.

The Group continually monitors its forecast financial position against these criteria.

It is, and has been throughout the period under review, Group policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments be undertaken.

Risk Exposures and Responses

a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligation under a financial instrument that will result in a financial loss to the Group. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the consolidated entity to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and receivables. The Group places its cash deposits and derivatives with high credit-quality financial institutions. Receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the results that the Parent’s and Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

b) Market risk

i) Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long term debt obligations. Interest rate risk on cash and short term deposits is not considered to be a material risk due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

The interest rates for term deposits are fixed and there is no material risk for interest bearing assets. There is no other financial asset or liability bearing interest rate risk except for interest bearing loans and borrowings, the sensitivity of which is disclosed below.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date:

At 30 June 2013, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:

Other comprehensive income
Profit higher/(lower) higher/(lower)
2013 2012 2013 2012
$000 $000 $000 $000
1% (100 basis points) 431 318 431 318
-1% (100 basis points) (431) (318) (431) (318)

Reasonable possible movements in interest rates were determined based on the Group’s mix of debt in Australia and foreign countries, relationship with financial institutions and review of last two years’ historical movements and economic forecaster’s expectations.

c) Liquidity risk

The Group’s liquidity position is managed to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet its financial commitments in a timely and cost effective manner.

Management monitors the Group’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flow. The table below reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows and shows the implied risk based on those values. Trade payables and other financial liabilities originate from the financing of assets used in the Group’s ongoing operations. These assets are considered in the Group's overall liquidity risk.

Management continually reviews the Group liquidity position including cash flow forecasts to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels.

d) Derivative instruments

The Group’s future revenues are exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, particularly the US dollar/Australian dollar rate. The Group may from time to time enter into foreign exchange derivative instruments to manage this exposure.

The Group has, as outlined in note 15, forward currency contracts designated as held for trading that are subject to fair value movements through profit or loss as foreign exchange rates move.

At 30 June 2013, had the Australian Dollar moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Management believe the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments.

e) Fair values

The Directors have performed a review of the financial assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2013 and have concluded that the fair value of those assets and liabilities are not materially different to book values. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments were:

  • Cash - The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.

  • • Receivables/payables - due to the short term nature of these financial rights and obligations, and/or market interest received/paid, their carrying values are estimated to represent their fair values.

  • Derivatives - The fair values of forward currency contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

  • Finance lease liability – The fair value is the present value of minimum lease payments.

  • • Bank loan – All the bank loans of the Group are interest bearing with floating interest rates which move in accordance with the market interest rates. Therefore the fair value of the bank loans approximates their carrying value.

4. SHARE BUY-BACK

During the year the Company bought back 555,200 shares at $20 per share. This was done by way of an equal access share buy-back that was open to all eligible shareholders on an equal basis. On the 17th April the Company invited eligible shareholders to participate in the buy back and offered to buy-back a maximum aggregate number of 684,702 shares, representing approximately 20% of the Company’s issued share capital as at that date.

The Company received offers to buy back 555,200 shares from eligible shareholders. On 12 June 2013, the company bought back these shares at $20 per share resulting in a payment to shareholders of $11.1 million. The buy-back price of $20, comprised of a capital return of $1.31 (amounting to $727,312) and the balance of purchase of $18.69 (amounting to $10,376,688) issued for tax purposes on fully franked basis.

As a result of the share buy-back the Company’s number of issued shares has reduced to 2,868,307 from 3,423,507 shares prior to the share buy back.

An outstanding amount is owed by Fertiliser Futures Ltd for the acquisition of the company’s interest in Phosphate Resources (HauLi) Ltd. The payment of remaining consideration by Fertiliser Futures Ltd was based on the ability of Fertiliser Futures Ltd to consolidate its mining license with that of an adjoining mine. So far Fertiliser Futures Ltd has not been able to reach agreement with the other mine owner on the terms of a consolidation and has been prevented from mining by the Chinese Government until the consolidation of these mines is finalised. Based on these facts the Company’s management have assessed that the receipt of the remaining consideration seems unlikely and consequently have written off the amount owing as a bad debt expense of $1.739 million.

This deferred tax asset will only be obtained if:

  • (a) future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

(b) the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and (c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidation entity in realising the benefit.

The parent entity has made non-current provisions for demolition of $8,704,000 (2012: $8,104,000) and employee redundancies of $8,052,000 (2012: $7,282,000). The future income tax benefit relating to the provision for restoration and demolition and the provision for employee redundancy is not probable of being completely recovered, as it is believed that when the provisions are required the parent entity may not have future taxable income to utilise the full tax benefit.

Phosphate Resources Limited and its wholly owned controlled entities have not entered into a tax consolidation agreement.

Goodwill acquired through business combination has been allocated to the Farming CGU, which is also a reporting and operating segment for impairment testing. The net carrying amount of Goodwill at 30 June 2013 was 7,158,000 (2012: 7,158,000) which includes an accumulated impairment charge of Nil during the year (2012: 422,000).

The recoverable amount of the Farming CGU has been determined using a value in use calculation using cash flow projections prepared as part of an external valuation of the plantation. The pre-tax discount rates applied to cash flow projections is 11% (2012: 11%) and the cash flows are forecast for 60 years using a Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) price of RM604 (2012: RM726) and an annual inflation rate of 1,6% (2012: 3.2%).

These contracts are fair valued by comparing the contracted rate to the market rates for contracts with the same length of maturity. All movements in fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period they occur. The net fair value losses on foreign currency derivatives during the year were $1.833 million for the Group (2012: gain of $0.093 million).

The group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted price in active markets; Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly (as price) or indirectly (derived from prices); and Level 3 : the fair value is estimated using inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

(a) Provision for redundancy

The amounts employees are entitled to receive if made redundant in accordance with their employment agreements are fully provided. The redundancy provision was increased by a net amount of $770,000 during the year ended 30 June 2013 (2012: $783,000).

(b) Provision for decommissioning and restoration

Based on the Mining Lease Agreement between the Commonwealth Government and Phosphate Resources Limited a provision for decommissioning and restoration has been recognised for costs associated with:

  • Demolition of all improvements specified for the removal of all debris resulting from demolition, removal of plant and equipment and leaving the leased land in a safe, clean and tidy condition at the expiry of the lease.

Estimates of the decommissioning and restoration obligations are based on anticipated technology and legal requirements and future costs, which have been discounted to their present value. In determining the decommissioning and restoration provision, the entity has assumed no significant changes will occur in the relevant Federal and State legislation in relation to demolition or restoration of such mines in the future.

Biological assets consist of mature oil palm trees.

The Group grows oil palm trees to produce palm oil. The plantation is located in Malaysia.

At 30 June 2013 the group held oil palm trees on approximately 1,643 hectares of land.

A valuation was conducted by Jones Lang Wootton, an independent professional valuer, on a subsidiary's oil palm estate development comprising land, ancillary facilities and biological assets, for the purposes of revaluing the biological assets of the subsidiary as at 30 June 2013. Significant assumptions applied in the determination of fair value are:

applied in the determination of fair value are:
2013 2012
Average remaining life of oil palm trees (years) 10 11
Average annual yield per hectare 21 22
Average life span of trees (years) 25 25
Pre tax discount rate 11% 11%
Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) price (RM per tonne) 604 726
Annual rate of inflation 1,2% 3,2%

The Group is exposed to risks in respect of agricultural activity. The agricultural activity of the Group consists of the plantation development and cultivation of palm products.

The primary risk associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between expending cash on the purchase of planting and maintenance of oil palm plantation and in harvesting, and ultimately receiving cash from sale of palm oil to third parties. The Group's strategy to manage this risk is to stage the replanting (20-30 year replanting cycle) to reduce the effect on the cash flow.

Independent audit report to members of Phosphate Resources Ltd

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Phosphate Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, 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 controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 controls. 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 have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
