Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Black Mountain Resources Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Black Mountain Resources Limited and its controlled entity. The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Black Mountain Resources Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 .

The financial report was authorised for issue on 12 September 2011 by the board of directors.

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001 .

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non‐current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

(b) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Black Mountain Resources Limited (‘’company’’ or ‘’parent entity’’) as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the financial period then ended. Black Mountain Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

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

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(b) Principles of consolidation (cont’d)

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de‐consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balance and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction proves evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements at cost.

(c) Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. 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.

Black Mountain Resources Limited and its controlled entity Annual Report for the financial period 29 October 2010, date of incorporation, to 30 June 2011

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(c) Income Tax (cont’d)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

(d) Exploration and Development Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

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. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(e) Impairment of Assets

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

(f) Employee Benefits

  • (i) Wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period.

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.

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. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy the vesting requirements. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the timing of cash flows.

(ii) Share‐based payments

Share‐based compensation benefits are provided to employees of Black Mountain Resources Limited at the Directors discretion.

The fair value of options granted by Black Mountain Resources Limited is recognised as an option benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Binomial option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non‐market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets).

Non‐market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(g) 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. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short‐term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

(i) Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(j) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

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

(k) Comparatives

There are no comparatives shown in the financial statements as Black Mountain Resources Limited was only incorporated on 29 October 2010.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(l) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definitions, seldom equal the related actual results.

Share based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity‐settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Binomial option pricing model.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded.

(m) New accounting standards

At the date of this financial report the following accounting standards, which may impact the Group in the period of initial application, have been issued but are not yet effective:

At 30 June 2011, the Group has unused tax losses of $276,716. The potential tax benefit at 30% not recognised for unused tax losses is $83,015.

The benefit for tax losses will only be obtained if:

  • (i) the Group derives future assessable income in Australia of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

  • (ii) the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation in Australia; and

  • (iii) there are no changes in tax legislation in Australia which will adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

The carrying value of the Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

  • the continuance of the Group’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;

  • the results of future exploration; and

  • the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Group in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The net working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2011 was $3,413,921 and the net increase in cash held during the financial period was $3,466,366.

The Group currently has $3,466,366 of cash and cash equivalents and no debt which is sufficient working capital to fund its exploration commitments in the near future.

14. Financial Instruments

Financial Risk Management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including market risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments.

(a) Market risk

  • Foreign exchange risk The Group operates in Australia and is not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures.

  • Interest rate risk

The Group’s only interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents. Term deposits and current accounts held with variable interest rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates the impact of how the result for the reporting period would have been affected by changes in bank interest rates.

Increase in interest rate 25,102

(b) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient to fund the Group’s operations. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity dates of financial assets and liabilities. As at reporting date, the Group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements.

The financial liabilities of the Group at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non interest bearing and were due within the normal 30‐60 days terms of creditor payments. The Group does not consider this to be material to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis of risk exposure.

Net Fair Values

Fair value estimation

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities as presented in the statement of financial position are the same as their fair value. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

15. Operating Segment

The Group has identified its operating segments based on 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 Group operates as a single segment which is mineral exploration within Australia.

The Group is domiciled in Australia. All revenue from external parties is generated in Australia. Segment revenues are allocated based on the country in which the party is located. All assets are located in Australia. Segment assets are allocated to the country where the asset is located.

Corporate Governance

In fulfilling its obligations and responsibilities to its various stakeholders, the Board is a strong advocate of corporate governance. This statement outlines the principal corporate governance procedures of the Company. The Board supports a system of corporate governance to ensure that the management of the Company is conducted to maximise shareholder wealth in a proper and ethical manner.

ASX Corporate Governance Council Recommendations

The Board has adopted corporate governance policies and practices consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations ("ASX Principles and Recommendations 2nd Edition") where considered appropriate for company of the Company’s size and nature. Such policies include, but are not limited to the Board Charter, Board Committee Charters, Code of Conduct, Security Trading, Continuous Disclosure, Shareholder Communication and Risk Management Policies.

The Company’s main corporate governance policies and practices are outlined below:

(a) Board of Directors

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies and financial objectives for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives.

The Board acknowledges its accountability to Shareholders for creating Shareholder value within a framework which protects the rights and interests of Shareholders and ensures the Company is properly managed.

The objective of the Board is to provide an acceptable rate of return to the Company’s Shareholders and take into account the interests of its employees, customers, suppliers, lenders and the wider community.

Each of the Directors, when representing the Company, must act in the best interest of Shareholders of the Company and in the best interests of the Company as a whole.

In carrying out the responsibilities and powers set out in the Board Charter, the Board:

  • (i) recognises its overriding responsibilities to act honestly, fairly, diligently and in accordance with the law in serving the interests of its Shareholders; and

  • (ii) recognises its duties and responsibilities to its employees, customers and the community.

  • (b) Composition of the Board

The majority of the Board is comprised of Non‐Executive Directors. Where practical, at least half of the Board will be independent. An independent Director is one who is independent of management and free from any business or other relationship, which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with, the exercise of independent judgement.

The total maximum remuneration of Non‐Executive Directors is the subject of a Shareholder resolution in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of Non‐Executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum 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 current limit, which may only be varied by Shareholders in general meeting, is an aggregate amount of $150,000 per annum.

The Board may award additional remuneration to Non‐Executive Directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Company.

(e) Performance Assessment

The Board has adopted a formal process for an annual self assessment of its collective performance and the performance of individual directors. The Board is required to meet at least annually with the purpose of reviewing the role of the Board, assessing its performance over the previous 12 months and examining ways in which the Board can better perform its duties. The issues examined in the review include the Board’s interaction with management, the type of information provided to the Board by management and management performance in helping the Board meet its objectives.

Note 1:

The Principles recommend that companies should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties and that companies should have a structure to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to performance is clear.

(a) Recommendation 2.4 – Nomination Committee

Recommendation 2.4 of the Principles states that the board should establish a nomination committee that should be structured so that it:

  • consists of a majority of independent directors;

  • is chaired by an independent director; and

  • has at least three members.

The Board does not have a separate nomination committee. The Board, as a whole, serves as a nomination committee and acts in accordance with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter. The Board does not believe any efficiency or other benefits would currently be gained by establishing a separate nomination committee.

The responsibility for the selection of potential directors lies with the full Board of the Company. A separate nomination committee has not been constituted because the Board considers that the size of the current full Board permits it to act as the nomination committee and to regularly review membership. This includes an assessment of the necessary and desirable competencies of Board members, Board succession plans and an evaluation of the Board’s performance and consideration of appointments and approvals.

When a Board vacancy occurs, the Board acting as the nomination committee, identifies the particular skills, experience and expertise that will best complement Board effectiveness, and then undertakes a process to identify candidates who can meet those criteria.

Page 45

Black Mountain Resources Limited and its controlled entity Annual Report for the financial period 29 October 2010, date of incorporation, to 30 June 2011

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Directors are not appointed for specific terms, as their periods in office are regularly reviewed as part of annual performance evaluation processes and they are subject to re‐election every three (3) years.

(b) Recommendation 8.1 – Remuneration Committee

Recommendation 8.1 of the Principles states that the board should establish a remuneration committee that should be structured so that it:

  • consists of a majority of independent directors;

  • is chaired by an independent director; and

  • has at least three members.

The Board does not have a separate remuneration committee. The Board, as a whole, serves as a remuneration committee and acts in accordance with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter. The Board does not believe any efficiency or other benefits would currently be gained by establishing a separate remuneration committee.

The responsibility for remuneration of directors and senior management lies with the full Board of the Company. A separate remuneration committee has not been constituted because the Board considers that the size of the current full Board permits it to act as the remuneration committee and will review remuneration issues at regular Board meetings.

Given the size of the Board and the Company, the Board considers that this function is efficiently achieved by the full Board. In circumstances where the size of the Board is expanded as a result of the growth or complexity of the Company, the Board will reconsider the establishment of a remuneration committee to ensure compliance with the Principles where possible.

Note 2:

The Principles recommends that companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision‐ making.

(a) Recommendation 3.2 – Diversity Policy

Recommendation 3.2 states that companies should establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy should include requirements for the board to establish measureable objectives for achieving gender diversity and for the board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.

The Company recognises that a talented and diverse workforce is a key competitive advantage and that an important contributor to the Company’s success is the quality, diversity and skills of its people.

Under the Company's Code of Conduct, employees must not harass, discriminate or support others who harass and discriminate against colleagues or members of the public on the grounds of sex, pregnancy, marital status, age, race (including their colour, nationality, descent, ethnic or religious background), physical or intellectual impairment, homosexuality or transgender. Such harassment or discrimination may constitute an offence under legislation.

Page 46

Black Mountain Resources Limited and its controlled entity Annual Report for the financial period 29 October 2010, date of incorporation, to 30 June 2011

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Due to the small scale of the Company's operations and the limited number of employees, the Company has not yet established a Diversity Policy. However, as the Company develops the Board will consider adopting such a policy.

(b) Recommendation 3.3 – Measurable Objectives for Achieving Gender Diversity

Recommendation 3.3 of the Principles states that the board should disclose in each annual report the measurable objective for achieving gender diversity set by the board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving them.

Given the size of the Company, the Company has not yet set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. In addition, the Board will review progress against any objectives identified on an annual basis.

(c) Recommendation 3.4– Annual Report Disclosure

Recommendation 3.4 of the Principles states that the board should disclose in each annual report:

  • the proportion of women employees in the whole organisation;

  • women in senior executive positions; and

  • women on the board.

Given the size of the Board and the Company, the Board considers that this function is efficiently achieved with Ms Rebecca Sandford as the Company Secretary holding a senior executive position in the Company. The Company does not currently have any employees.

Note 3:

The Principles recommend that companies should have a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting. Recommendation 4.1 of the Principles states that the board should establish an audit committee.

Recommendation 4.2 of the Principles states that the audit committee should be structured so that it:

  • consists only of non‐executive directors

  • consists of a majority of independent directors

  • is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board

  • has at least three members.

The Board does not have a separate audit committee. The Board, as a whole, serves as a audit committee and acts in accordance with the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter. The Board does not believe any efficiency or other benefits would currently be gained by establishing a separate audit committee.

The responsibility for preparation of financial statements and their audit lies with the full Board of the Company. A separate audit committee has not been constituted because the Board considers that the size of the current full Board permits it to act as the audit committee and will review audit issues at regular Board meetings.
