DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Directors of Prospect Resources Limited (formerly Ethan Minerals Limited) (“the Company”) submit hereby the annual report of the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporation Act 2001, the Directors report as follows:
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Directors at any time during or since the end of the year are:
Name Particulars Hugh Warner Non Executive Director and Chairperson (appointed 3 January 2012) Jonathan Pager Non Executive Director (appointed 3 January 2012) Michael Pollak Non Executive Director (appointed 3 January 2012) Kenneth Fitzgerald (resigned 3 January 2012) Julie Glanville (resigned 3 January 2012) Douglas William O’Neill (resigned 1 July 2011)
The above named Directors held office during and since the financial year, except as otherwise stated.
INCOMPLETE RECORDS
The management and affairs of the Company were not under the control of the Directors of the Company since it entered voluntary administration on 1 July 2011 until the date that the Deed of Company Arrangement (“DOCA”) was effectuated, being 28 March 2012.
The financial report was prepared by the Company’s current Directors who were not in office at the time the Company entered voluntary administration or for the full periods presented in this report. The Directors who prepared this financial report were appointed on 3 January 2012.
To prepare the financial report, the Directors have reconstructed the financial records of the Company using:
-
data extracted from the Company’s accounting system for the period 1 July 2010 to the date the Company entered administration; and
-
the record of receipts and payments made available by the Administrator for the period from their appointment on 1 July 2011.
It has not been possible for the Directors to obtain all the books and records:
-
of the Company for the period prior to the appointment of the Administrators;
-
of the Company maintained by the Administrators since their appointment on 1 July 2011; and
-
of the subsidiaries of the Company.
Consequently, although the Directors have prepared this financial report to the best of their knowledge based on the information made available to them, they are of the opinion that it is not possible to state that this financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001, nor is it possible to state that this financial report gives a true and fair view of the company’s financial position.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the Company is exploration for mineral resources.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS
Appointment of Administrators and restructure
On 1 July 2011, Bradley Tonks and John Vouris of Lawler Partners (the Administrators) were appointed as the Joint and Several Administrators of the Company and assumed control of the Company and its business, property and affairs.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Prospect Resources Limited (formerly Ethan Minerals Limited) (“the Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2012 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 27 September 2012.
Prospect Resources Limited is a company limited by shares and incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. These shares were suspended from trading at 30 June 2012, but were subsequently reinstated to trading on 19 July 2012.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements the Company is a for-profit entity.
The principal activity of the Company is exploration for mineral resources.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Financial Report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
This general purpose Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of law where possible (refer to note 2(b) below).
The Financial Report has been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern. The board considers that the Company has sufficient cash resources to meet all operating costs for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the public announcements made by Prospect Resources Limited during the year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Where these are areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, these are disclosed in Note 2(r).
Comparative figures
When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current year. When the Company applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed. Refer to note 2(b) below regarding incomplete records and the potential impact on comparative figures.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Incomplete records
The management and affairs of the Company were not under the control of the Directors of the Company since it entered voluntary administration on 1 July 2011 until the date that the DOCA was effectuated, being 28 March 2012.
The financial report was prepared by the Company’s current Directors who were not in office at the time the Company entered voluntary administration or for the full periods presented in this report. The Directors who prepared this financial report were appointed on 3 January 2012.
To prepare the financial report, the Directors have reconstructed the financial records of the Company using:
-
data extracted from the Company’s accounting system for the period 1 July 2010 to the date the Company entered administration; and
-
the record of receipts and payments made available by the Administrators for the period from their appointment on 1 July 2011.
It has not been possible for the Directors to obtain all the books and records:
-
of the Company for the period prior to the appointment of the Administrators;
-
of the Company maintained by the Administrators since their appointment on 1 July 2011; and
-
of the subsidiaries of the Company.
Consequently , although the Directors have prepared this financial report to the best of their knowledge based on the information available to them, they are of the opinion that it is not possible to state that this financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001, nor is it possible to state that this financial report gives a true and fair view of the company’s financial position.
(c) Revenue recognition
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For statement of cash flow presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
(e) Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on a current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the 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 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 tax losses.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(f) Other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment.
(g) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(h) Exploration expenditure
For each area of interest, expenditure incurred in the acquisition of rights to explore is capitalised, classified as tangible or intangible and recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset. Exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost at recognition.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by the Group subsequent to acquisition of the rights to explore is expensed as incurred. A provision for unsuccessful exploration and evaluation is created against each area of interest by means of a charge to the profit and loss.
The recoverable amount of each area of interest is determined on an annual basis and the provision recorded in respect of that area adjusted so that the net carrying amount does not exceed the recoverable amount. For areas of interest that are not considered to have any commercial value, or where exploration rights are no longer current, the capitalised amounts are written off against the provision and any remaining amounts are charged against profit.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
(i) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
(j) Loss per share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the result attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS adjusts the figures used in the calculation of basic EPS to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed or known to have been issued in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(k) 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 balance sheet are shown exclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(l) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.
(m) 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 cost to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(p) Share based payment transactions
(i) Equity settled transactions
The Company provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share based payments, 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 of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The charge to the statement of comprehensive income is taken when the options are granted. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
(q) Critical Accounting Judgement and Key Sources of Uncertainty
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies which are described above in Note 2, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods of the revision affects both current and future periods.
– Key Estimates Impairment
The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company that may lead to an 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. Prior year assets were impaired as a result of the appointment of an Administrator. Assets were written down to the amounts recovered by the Administrator.

NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
(a) Details of operations disposed
On 1 July 2011, the Company went into voluntary administration. The Administrators sought expressions of interest from third parties in either acquiring the assets of the Company or reconstructing and recapitalising the Company.
A proposal was submitted by a syndicate headed by Pager Partners, which was agreed to by the Company’s creditors and shareholders. The proposal required the Company to make available any cash at bank, its rights in its sundry debtors, its claims against its subsidiaries and shares in its subsidiaries (as well as any other assets not purchased by the Syndicate) for the benefit of the Company’s creditors pursuant to the terms of the DoCA. Upon effectuation of the DoCA, the Company lost control of its subsidiaries, with the financial impact being the derecognition of their liabilities. All assets of the subsidiaries had been impaired in the previous period.

Tax losses related to the entity prior to the reconstruction that were not used have been lost. Current tax losses have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset as recoupment is dependent on, amongst other matters, sufficient future assessable income being earned. That is not considered certain in the foreseeable future and accordingly there is uncertainty that the losses can be utilised. There are no deferred tax liabilities.

The options of the Company are not considered dilutive for the purpose of the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their conversion to ordinary shares would not decrease the net profit per share nor increase the net loss per share. Consequently, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share.
NOTE 17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is the role and responsibility of the board. The Company's current activities expose it to minimal risk. However, as activities increase there may be exposure to interest rate, market, credit, and liquidity risks

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

These funds were loaned to the Company by the Syndicate and the DoCA was fully effectuated on the 28 March 2012 and has therefore been terminated. . A Creditors’ Trust Deed has been established pursuant to the DoCA to pay the Deed Administrator’s fees and costs, the Administrator’s fees and costs and the Trustees’ fees and costs, with the balance to be distributed to creditors as full and final payment of the Company’s outstanding debts. All trade and other payables at 30 June 2011 have been transferred to the Creditors’ Trust.
29
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
NOTE 17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(a) Interest Rate Risk
The Company has interest bearing assets and therefore income and operating cash flows are subject to changes in the market rates. However, market changes in interest rates will not have a material impact on the profitability or operating cash flows of the Company. A movement in interest rates of +/- 100 basis points will result in less than a +/- $1,000 (2011: $Nil) impact on the Company’s income and operating cash flows. At this time, no detailed sensitivity analysis is undertaken by the Company.
(b) Market risk
The Company is not exposed to equity securities price risk as it holds no investments in securities classified on the balance sheet either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss; or to commodity price risk.
(c) Credit risk
The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk and as such, no sensitivity analysis is prepared by the Company.
(d) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet commitments as and when they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by preparing forecasts and monitoring actual cash flows and requirements for future capital raisings. The Company does not have committed credit lines available, which is appropriate given the nature of its operations. Surplus funds are invested in a cash management account with Westpac Banking Corporation which is available as required.
The material liquidity risk for the Company is the ability to raise equity in the future.
(e) Effective interest rate and repricing analysis
Cash and cash equivalents are the only interest bearing financial instruments of the Company.
NOTE 18. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Identification of reportable segments

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Prospect Resources Limited (formerly Ethan Minerals Limited)
Report on the Financial Report
We were engaged to audit the accompanying financial report of Prospect Resources Limited (formerly Ethan Minerals Limited), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, 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 as set out on pages 11 to 34.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on conducting the audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
Auditor’s Independence Declaration
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Prospect Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
As stated in Note 2(b) to the financial report, Prospect Resources Limited went into voluntary administration on 1 July 2011. The directors state that they have not been able to obtain all the books and records of the consolidated entity for the period prior to their appointment and have prepared the financial report based on the information made available to them at the time of preparation of the financial report. As the available
accounting and statutory records are not adequate to permit the application of necessary audit procedures, we are unable to obtain all the information and explanations we require in order to form an opinion on the financial report.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2012 and its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Due to the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been given all information, explanation and assistance necessary for the conduct of the audit; and we are unable to determine whether the company has kept:
-
(a) financial records sufficient to enable the financial report to be prepared and audited; and
-
(b) other records and registers as required by the Corporations Act 2001.
Report on the Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report is included in pages 7 to 9 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2012. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Disclaimer of Opinion
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the Remuneration Report.

____________
PROSPECT RESOURCES LIMITED (PSC) – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
This Corporate Governance Statement sets out Prospect Resource Limited’s ( the Company ) current compliance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( the ASX Principles and Recommendations ). The ASX Principles and Recommendations are not mandatory. However, the Company will be required to provide a statement in its future annual reports disclosing the extent to which the Company has followed the ASX Principles and Recommendations.
| ASX Principles and Recommendations |
Comply (Yes/No) |
Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Lay solid foundations for management and oversight | ||
| 1.1. Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions. |
Yes | The Company’s board of directors (the Board) is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to: (a) maintain and increase Shareholder value; (b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and activities; and (c) ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives. Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities: (a) developing initiatives for profit and/or asset growth; (b) reviewing the corporate, commercial and financial performance of the Company on a regular basis; (c) acting on behalf of, and being accountable to, the Shareholders; and (d) identifying business risks and implementing actions to manage those risks and corporate systems to assure quality. The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ participation in Board discussions on a fully- informed basis. It is expected that the division of responsibility of the Board and senior executives will vary with the evolution of the Company. The Company intends to regularly review the balance of responsibilities to ensure that the division of functions remains appropriate to the needs of the Company. |
| 1.2. Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives. |
No | Given the current size of the Company and the fact that the Company currently has no senior executives, the process for evaluating their performance is not relevant. |

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
| ASX Principles and Recommendations |
Comply (Yes/No) |
Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 2. Structure the board to add value | ||
| 2.1. A majority of the board should be independent directors. |
No | The Board has reviewed the position and associations of each of the three directors in office and has determined that none of the directors are independent. In making this determination the Board has had regard to the independence criteria in ASX Principle 2 and other facts, information and circumstances that the Board considers relevant. The Board assesses the independence of new directors upon appointment and reviews their independence, and the independence of the other directors, as appropriate. The Board strives to ensure that it is comprised of directors with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate to the Company and its business. The principle criterion for the appointment of new directors is their ability to add value to the Company and its business. |
| 2.2. The chair should be an independent director. |
No | The Company’s current Chairman Mr Hugh Warner, does not satisfy the ASX Principles and Recommendations definition of an independent director. However, the Board considers Mr Warner’s role as chairman essential to the success of the Company at this early stage of its restructure and the development of its new business. |
| 2.3. The roles of chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual. |
N/A | The Company has not yet appointed a chief executive officer. |
| 2.4. The board should establish a nomination committee. |
No | No formal nomination committee or procedures have been adopted for the identification, appointment and review of the Board membership, but an informal assessment process, facilitated by the Chairman in consultation with the Company’s professional advisers (if required), has been committed to by the Board. |
| 2.5. Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors. |
No | The Company does not have in place a separately constituted remuneration committee due to the size and current operations of the Company. The remuneration of an executive director will be decided by the Board, without the affected executive director participating in that decision-making process. There are currently no executive directors. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive directors is currently set at $500,000. Any increases will be the subject of a shareholder resolution in accordance with clause 13.7 of the Company’s constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive directors’ remuneration within that maximum amount will be made by the Board, having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non- executive director. The Board may award additional remuneration to non- executive directors called upon to perform extra services or make specialexertions onbehalfofthe Company. |

Comply (Yes/No) |
Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 3. Promote ethical and responsible decision-making | ||
| 3.1. Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to: the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity; the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders; the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports ofunethicalpractices. |
No | The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.
