ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2012


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.

The Administrators sought expressions of interest from third parties in either acquiring the assets of the Company or reconstructing and recapitalising the Company.

As part of this process, on 4 November 2011 the creditors approved the Administrators entering into a Deed of Company Arrangement (the DoCA), pursuant to which the Deed Administrators were authorised, among other things, to investigate the restructure of the Company’s capital with a view to re-instating the Company’s Shares to quotation on ASX for the benefit of creditors and Shareholders.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS (continued)

The Company’s creditors subsequently agreed with a proposal presented by a Syndicate headed by Pager Partners (Syndicate) for the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company (the Proposal). The Proposal resulted in the Company becoming debt free and sufficient cash being injected into the Company to enable the Company to continue operating and for the re-instatement of its Shares to Official Quotation on ASX. The Proposal was approved by Shareholders on 28 February 2012.

The Proposal included:

  • the retention of the Company’s existing mineral exploration licences, rights and applications (unencumbered);

  • the entry by the Company into a Creditors’ Trust Deed for the purposes of satisfying approved creditor claims;

  • the Company making 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;

  • the payment of $950,000 in cash (paid by the Syndicate by way of a loan to the Company) to the Creditors Trust in return for creditors releasing all claims against the Company and participating as creditors of the Creditors Trust, with all other liabilities and obligations of the Company being compromised under the DOCA.;

  • the Company issuing 290,000,000 new ordinary shares and 60,000,000 options to raise $2,151,500 before costs;

  • the existing Directors of the Company at the time of executing the DoCA, being Mr Kenneth Fitzgerald and Ms Julie Glanville, resigning and new Directors, Messrs Hugh Warner, Jonathan Pager and Michael Pollak, being appointed to the Board; and

  • the change of the Company’s name from “Ethan Minerals Limited” to “Prospect Resources Limited”.

On 28 March 2012, the Syndicate lent to the Company $950,000 so that it could satisfy the terms of the DoCA. The DoCA was effectuated on 28 March 2012 and contemporaneously the Company was removed from external administration. The Company was reinstated to trade on the ASX on the 19 July 2012.

(2) None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 ‘ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants’ issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

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.

16

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

(a) Interest Rate Risk

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.

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

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Company was engaged in exploration for minerals in Australia, Indonesia and Zambia. The operations were located in Australia, Indonesia and Zambia with the head office being in Australia. The Company’s subsidiaries were excised from the Company and transferred into the Creditors Trust at the point of effectuating the DOCA (28 March 2012), being a condition of the DOCA. Refer note 5.

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.

  • (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

  • (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 .

Recommendations

(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.

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.

the

No The Board is committed to the establishment and
maintenance of appropriate ethical standards. Given the

Company and the fact that the Company is only in the
early stages of its restructure and the development of its
new business, the Board does not consider it necessary to
have a diversity policy.
As the Company develops the Board intends to review its
practices, and if deemed necessary in the future, the
Board may consider adopting a policy in the future.
