CHAIRMAN‟S LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

As for 2011, this year the business environment has again been tough for Red Sky Energy.

We started the year with a reasonably solid foundation. In 2011 the Company completed a very successful two well exploration program in the Clarence Moreton Basin in North East New South Wales. A major new discovery was made in the shallow Kangaroo Creek Sandstones, and in addition substantial coal seam gas reserves and resources were independently certified.

We narrowed our focus to maximising the value from this exploration success, however a number of adverse factors worked against us. The newly elected Government of New South Wales introduced stringent new requirements for work program approvals, known as Review of Environmental Factors (REF's). This delayed the approval of the proposed Talma Pilot well for several months. The approval was finally received in May. Furthermore, the anti-CSG lobby continued and intensified its agitation, which runs counter to the interests of the Company.

Despite these issues, the Company managed to secure the support of ERM Power, a major vertically integrated power business with an emerging gas division. This provided the Company with some much needed cash as well as retaining a potential share in the upside from further investment in work programs. ERM Power has the option to buy out the Company's residual interest in two permits for $5m each.

This year also saw the Company acquire SOLEIR Limited, a developer of utility scale solar projects based on proven photovoltaic (PV) panels. The Company is now undertaking a feasibility study for the first project in Dubbo. Although early days, this new initiative is anticipated to grow into a sizeable and profitable business.

Due generally to market sentiment, it has been very difficult and frustrating to raise capital for exploration and development project activities, and this has obviously hampered the Company's ability to grow and increase shareholder value to the degree we would have liked. It appears however, that there are a number if positive signs and potential circumstantial changes on the horizon, causing your Board to look forward with cautious optimism to the potential opportunities these should create for us.

We look forward to your continuing journey with us.

Gerrit J de Nys Non-Executive Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Summary

  • The Company focused on adding value to the successful exploration undertaken in the Clarence Moreton Basin, which included the discovery of the highly prospective Kangaroo Creek sandstone gas resource.

  • This included securing regulatory approval for the Talma Pilot, under the new regime implemented by the NSW Government.

  • The Company announced the major transaction with ERM Power in relation to the permits in the Clarence Moreton Basin in north east NSW. The transaction was announced on 4[th] July and closed on 13[th] September.

  • Subsequently a placement of 150 million shares was made to ERM Power at 0.7cps, raising $1,050,000.

  • The first milestone payment of $700,000 associated with the ERM Power transaction was received. Further payments are expected in the coming quarter.

  • The Company continued to investigate other energy opportunities that leverage its core capabilities.

  • The Company announced the acquisition of SOLEIR Limited to broaden its energy business into the development of utility scale solar projects on 28[th] November.

  • Subsequent to year end, the Company withdrew from the ATP 946 farm-in in Queensland.

Operational Overview

Clarence Moreton Project

This project encompasses the permits PEL 479, 457 and PELA 135 (formerly PSPA 37) in the Clarence Moreton Basin north east NSW. Red Sky earned a 30% interest in each of PEL 479 and 457, and significant reserves were independently certified.

During drilling of the Talma 1 core well, a discovery of gas in the Kangaroo Creek sandstones was made. An 83 metre section of core was taken and analysed. The discovery was considered highly prospective because the sandstones:

  • Are laterally extensive within the Clarence Moreton Basin

  • Are gassy in the depth interval from 480 metres to 563 metres

  • Have an estimated gross pay of 83 metres

  • Have scope for significant increase in gross pay above 480 metre level

  • Could flow gas to surface un-stimulated at rates that could be economic.

Red Sky decided the most effective and low cost method of appraisal of this discovery was via the proposed Talma Pilot. A Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for the Talma Pilot was submitted in November 2011 and finally approved in May 2012. Red Sky continued to plan this well, but was hampered by the softness of the share market impacting its ability to raise capital.

ERM Gas Transaction in relation to Clarence Moreton Project

On 4[th] July 2012 the Company announced a multi faceted agreement with ERM Power. It included a placement of 150 million ROG shares, a farm-in to the Clarence Moreton permits and a series of cash payments upon achieving agreed milestones. The agreement went unconditional on 13[th] September 2012.

The transaction adds significant value to Red Sky;

  • Cash position: The decline in turnover generally in the ASX microcap sector and specifically with Red Sky significantly adversely affected the Company‟s ability to use the YA Global equity facility. The placement and milestone cash payments from ERM are expected to obviate the need for further near term capital raising.

  • New major shareholder: With the placement, ERM will take an approximately 9.5% shareholding in Red Sky. This is a vote of confidence in the Company and Management, and ERM is expected to continue to support Red Sky‟s business going forward.

  • Buy-out option: ERM has the option to buy out Red Sky‟s residual interest in permits PEL 457 and 479 for $5million each at any time over the next 38 months. This represents 0.63cps of the 1.58billion ROG shares outstanding after the ERM placement.

The ERM transaction sees ERM take over as Operator and has committed to drill at least four wells across PEL 479 and 457, with an option for a further two wells. Accordingly Red Sky‟s interest in PEL 479 and 457 reduced to 20%. Timing of this work program is yet to be determined.

To date $700,000 in milestone payments have been received, with further payments expected in the coming quarter.

Yaraka Project

This project encompasses the permit ATP 946 in western Queensland. A farm-in with Resolve Geo gives Red Sky the right to earn up to a 100% interest in phases.

The permit was granted on 16[th] March 2011. No work was undertaken during the year.

Taroom Trough Project

This project encompasses the permit ATP 840 in southern Queensland. Through a farm-in with Clark Oil and Gas (Operator), Red Sky consolidated its interest in the permit to have a 18.75% interest across both conventional and unconventional resources. This consolidation is to help facilitate bringing in a major farm-in partner. This process is underway with some interest shown by major corporations. The permit was renewed for seven years on 1[st] March 2012.

Two formations within ATP 840 are considered prospective for gas; the Triassic Rewan Formation and the Permian Tinowon Formation which have a thickness up to 600 metres and are found in the depth range of 2800 metres to 4000 metres. Resource gas-in-place volumes are estimated to be very significant albeit with low recovery factors.

There have been gas flows from both these formations in wells drilled around ATP 840, including Kinkabilla, Overston and Cabawin, with the latter flowing 200,000 cubic feet per day (cfd) based on 1960s drilling technology. Well flow rates with the latest stimulation and horizontal drilling techniques could be substantially greater than this amount.

Solar Opportunity

On 28[th] November, the Company announced the acquisition of SOLEIR Limited. With this acquisition Red Sky has the opportunity to develop a number of utility scale solar projects based on proven photovoltaic (PV) technology. SOLEIR‟s business model is to progressively develop and partially own a number of significant size PV solar energy power stations.

Over the past three years SOLEIR has focused on reducing the costs of solar projects to compete with large scale wind projects This has included addressing grid connection, PV panel supporting structure and construction costs. Importantly, it is developing an innovative funding structure that could reduce the cost of finance in solar projects by 25-30%. A patent application for the funding structure has been lodged with a priority date of 19 October 2011.

SOLEIR‟s first project is a 2.5MW project in the major regional centre of Dubbo, in central New South Wales. Significant progress has been made on the project, which includes;

  • Development approval secured and a 30 year lease executed with the Dubbo City Council for the project site.

  • Identification of low cost grid connection option in conjunction with electricity network owner, Essential Energy, and

  • Detailed electrical and structural design.

Red Sky will aim to complete the feasibility study for the Dubbo project in March and construct the first phase by June 2013.

Red Sky expects its share of the costs for the Dubbo project will be drawn from its existing cash and contracted cash payments from the previously announced ERM deal (see ASX announcement, 13 September 2012).

In addition to the Dubbo project, which has enough land for a 7MW expansion, SOLEIR has identified several other suitable project sites throughout regional New South Wales that could be secured via lease or purchase.

Events Subsequent to Balance Date

On 17[th] January by mutual agreement with Resolve Geo, Red Sky has terminated the ATP 946 farm-in; known as the Yaraka Project. The settlement involves Red Sky issuing shares to Resolve Geo plus a small cash payment. The decision was based on the impact of a number of adverse factors since the farm-in was executed in March 2010; regulatory compliance costs have increased significantly, as has uncertainty around permitting, and asset sales have declined significantly. The prospectivity of ATP 946 does not provide sufficient incentive to offset these factors.

Council Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

1.1 Role of the Board

The Board's primary role is the protection and enhancement of medium to long term shareholder value. To fulfill this role, the Board is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of the consolidated entity including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.

1.2 Responsibility of the Board

The Board is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company by:

  • Supervising the Company‟s framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed;

  • Ensuring the Company is properly managed;

  • Approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures;

  • Approval of the annual budget;

  • Monitoring the financial performance of the Company;

  • Approving and monitoring financial and other reporting;

  • Overall corporate governance of the Company, including conducting regular reviews of the balance of responsibilities within the Company to ensure division of functions remain appropriate to the needs of the Company;

  • Liaising with the Company‟s external auditors as appropriate; and

  • Monitoring, and ensuring compliance with, all of the Company's legal obligations, in particular those obligations relating to the environment, native title, cultural heritage and occupational health and safety.

The Board must convene regular meetings with such frequency as is sufficient to appropriately discharge its responsibilities. Between regular meetings it will also ensure that important matters are addressed by way of circular resolutions. The Board may, from time to time, delegate some of the responsibilities listed above to its senior management team.

Page | 7

Red Sky Energy Ltd For the year ended 31/12/2012 ABN 94 099 116 275

1.3 Materiality threshold

The Board has agreed on both quantitative and qualitative guidelines for assessing the materiality of matters. Qualitative indications of materiality would include if:

  • They impact on the reputation of the Company;

  • They involve a breach of legislation;

  • They are outside the ordinary course of business;

  • They could affect the Company‟s rights to its assets; or

  • If accumulated they would trigger the quantitative tests.

1.4 The Chairman

The chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board, for the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board's function and for the briefing of all directors in relation to issues arising at Board meetings. The chairman is also responsible for chairing shareholder meetings, and arranging Board performance evaluation.

1.5 The Managing Director

The managing director is responsible for running the affairs of the Company under delegated authority from the Board and to implement the policies and strategy set by the Board. In carrying out his/her responsibilities the managing director must report to the Board in a timely manner and ensure all reports to the Board present a true and fair view of the Company‟s financial condition and operational results.

1.6 Role and responsibility of management

The role of management is to support the managing director and implement the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board. Management is responsible for reporting all matters which fall within the Materiality Threshold at first instance to the managing director or if the matter concerns the managing director then directly to the chairman or the lead independent director, as appropriate.

1.7 Relationship of Board with management

Management of the day-to-day business of the Company is to be conducted by or under the supervision of the Board, and by those other officers and employees to whom the management function is properly delegated by the Board.

The Board will adopt appropriate structures and procedures to ensure that the Board functions independently of management. Appropriate procedures may involve the Board meeting on a regular basis without management present, or may involve expressly assigning the responsibility for administering the Board's relationship to management to a Committee of the Board.

Information is formally presented to the Board at Board meetings by way of Board reports and review of performance to date. When directors are providing information about opportunities for the Company, this should always be through the Board.

Council Principle 2: Structure the board to add value

The Company presently has two non-executive directors and one executive director. Two directors are independent in accordance with the terms of the ASX Corporate Governance Council‟s definition of an independent director. The Chairman (Mr Gerrit de Nys) is a nonexecutive and independent director in terms of the ASX Corporate Governance Council‟s definition of an independent director. The Board considers that its structure has been and continues to be appropriate in the context of the Company‟s current projects and operations. The Company considers that each director possesses skills and experience suitable for building the Company. The Board intends to reconsider its composition as the Company's operations evolve, and appoint directors as appropriate.

The full board of directors performs the role of the nomination committee.

Council Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making

The Company complies with this recommendation other than with regard to the disclosure of measurable objectives. The Company has adopted a code of conduct incorporating all corporate executives. It requires all business affairs to be conducted legally, ethically and with integrity. The code provides for reporting of breach of the code by others. The code of conduct has been made available on the Company‟s website.

Page | 8

Red Sky Energy Ltd For the year ended 31/12/2012 ABN 94 099 116 275

The Board has recently approved a diversity policy and currently is still taking advice with regard to determining the measurable objectives. The policy incorporates the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Council on diversity, which includes:

  • requirements for the board to establish objectives for achieving gender diversity;

  • the annual assessment and measurement of the company against these objectives;

  • the annual disclosure of the measurement and progress in achieving the set objectives; and

  • the disclosure of the proportion of women employed in the whole organization, women in senior executive positions and women on the board.

Currently there are no women in the organisation at any level. Other than the board members, there are no employees within the Company. The Company has a broad policy of “outsourcing” immediately.

Council Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

The Company‟s Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) report in writing to the Board that the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities for each half and full year present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the Company‟s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with accounting standards.

The Company has established an audit committee and the committee fulfills its role by:

  • Monitoring the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, and reviewing significant financial reporting judgments.

  • Reviewing the Company‟s internal financial control system and risk management systems.

  • Reviewing the appointment of the external auditor and approving the remuneration and terms of engagement.

  • Monitoring and reviewing the external auditor‟s independence, objectivity and effectiveness, taking into consideration relevant professional and regulatory requirements.

Currently, there are only two non-executive directors of the Company able to be members of the audit committee due to the small size of the Board.

Council Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure

Compliance procedures for ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements have been adopted by the Company. It has appointed an officer of the Company to be responsible for compliance.

Council Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders

Information will be communicated to shareholders as follows:

  • The annual report is distributed to all shareholders. The Board ensures that the annual report includes relevant information about the operations of the consolidated entity during the year, changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity and details of future developments, in addition to the other disclosures required by the Corporations Act. The annual report is made available on the Company‟s website, and is provided in hard copy format to any shareholder who requests it.

  • The half-yearly report contains summarised financial information and a review of the operations of the consolidated entity during the year. The half-year audited financial report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of applicable Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act and is lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange. The half-yearly report is made available on the Company‟s website, and is sent to any shareholder who requests it.

  • The quarterly report contains summarised cash flow financial information and details about the Company‟s activities during the quarter. The quarterly report is made available on the Company‟s website, and is sent to any shareholder who requests it.

  • Proposed major changes in the consolidated entity which may impact on share ownership rights are submitted to a general meeting of shareholders.

  • The Company's website is well promoted to shareholders and shareholders may register to receive updates, either by email or in hard copy.

The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the consolidated entity‟s strategy and goals. Important issues are presented to the shareholders as resolutions.

The shareholders are requested to vote on the appointment and aggregate remuneration of directors, the granting of options and shares to directors and changes to the constitution. Copies of the constitution are available to any shareholder who requests it.

Council Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

The Company has developed an initial framework for risk management and internal compliance and control systems which covers organisational, financial and operational aspects of the Company's affairs. The framework is the subject of ongoing review and yet to be finalised. It appoints the Managing Director and Company Secretary as being responsible for ensuring that the systems are maintained and complied with.

Council Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Board has established a remuneration committee. The remuneration committee is responsible for administering the remuneration policy adopted by the Company and the remuneration arrangements for non executive Directors, executive Directors and executives of the Company.

Currently, there are only two non-executive directors of the Company as members of the remuneration committee due to the small size of the Board.

Remuneration Report (audited)

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporation Act 2001.

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and executives of Red Sky Energy Limited. This report has been set out under the following main headings:

  • A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration

  • B. Service Agreements

  • C. Details of Remuneration

  • D. Share-based Compensation

  • E. Additional Information

A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration

The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and Executive Officers. The Board will assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

The objective of the Group‟s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • Competitiveness and reasonableness

  • Acceptability to shareholders

  • Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation

  • Transparency

  • Capital management

The board policy is to remunerate non executive Directors at fair market rates for comparable companies for the relevant time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum amount of fees that can be paid to non executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The maximum amount approved is $250,000. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align Director‟s interests with shareholder interests the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and may be issued with additional securities as deemed appropriate.

The Board believes that the remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Company and the activities which it undertakes and is appropriate for aligning Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives. The board will continually develop new practices which are appropriate to the Company‟s size and stage of development.

Executive Officers are those directly accountable for the operational management and strategic direction of the Company and the consolidated entity. All contracts with Directors and executives may be terminated by either party with three months notice.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of a base remuneration package, which includes Directors‟ fees (in the case of Directors), salaries, consulting fees and employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Fixed remuneration levels for Directors and executive officers will be reviewed annually by the board through a process that considers the employee‟s personal development, achievement of key performance objectives for the year, industry benchmarks wherever possible and CPI data.

Performance-linked remuneration

All employees may receive bonuses and/or share options based on achievement of specific goals related to performance against individual KPIs and to the performance of the Company as a whole as determined by the Directors, based on a range of factors. These factors include traditional financial considerations such as operating performance, cash consumption and deals concluded. They also include industry-specific factors relating to the advancement of the Company‟s activities and relationships with third parties and internal employees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2012

1. 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 all the year presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes separate financial statements for Red Sky Energy Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of Red Sky Energy Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are a general purpose financial statement that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, 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 financial statements 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 these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

i) Compliance with IFRSs

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRs). Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the financial report of Red Sky Energy Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

ii) Early adoption of standards

The Group has not elected to apply any early pronouncements.

iii) Historical cost convention

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

iv) 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 Group‟s accounting policies (refer note 3).

v) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The consolidated entity incurred a loss of $1,758,224 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $967,455 for the year ended 31 December 2012. Notwithstanding this, the Directors are satisfied that the consolidated entity will have sufficient cash resources to meet its working capital requirements in the future. Proceeds of $2m are expected to be received in the near future from ERM Power Ltd in relation to the renewal of permits PEL 479 and PEL 457. Renewal of these permits is awaiting ministerial approval which is anticipated to occur. The Directors have reviewed the cashflow forecasts and believe that for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of signature of the financial report, the consolidated entity will be capable of meeting its minimum expenditure commitments and that it has the ability to meet its debts as and when they fall due. The Directors believe there are sufficient funding strategies and alternatives to meet working capital requirements should the need arise including:

  • Utilisation of the $2.6m equity facility available as detailed in note 15 to fund on-going expenditure;

  • Other alternatives to issue securities and raise funds; and

  • Consideration of re-arranging agreements on existing projects through sale or farming in a third party.

Based on the above, the Directors are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2012

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(b) Principles of Consolidation

i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Red Sky Energy Limited (“Company” or “parent entity”) as at 31 December 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Red Sky Energy 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.

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.

Inter-Company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Red Sky Energy Limited.

ii) Jointly controlled assets and operations

Certain operations are carried out subject to joint venture arrangements. The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of a joint venture activity have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.

The interest in a joint venture partnership is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method and is carried at cost by the parent entity. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the partnership is recognised in the income statement, and the share of movements in reserves is recognised in reserves in the balance sheet.

iii) Business combinations

Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method.

The purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be indentified and for the cost of the acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained. Cost is determined as the aggregate of fair values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for control. Any deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity‟s incremental borrowing rate.

Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer‟s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of the acquirer‟s interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c) Segment reporting

The Group currently operates in the gas and solar power energy industry segment in Australia.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised as follows:

(i) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(d) Revenue recognition (continued)

(ii) Revenue

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been delivered to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(e) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less allowance for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement between thirty (30) and ninety (90) days from the date of recognition.

(f) Financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date (ie. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset). Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category „financial assets at fair value through profit or loss‟. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iii) Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm‟s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2012

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(g) Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset‟s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset‟s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account.

The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

(ii) Financial assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset‟s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

(iii) Available-for-sale investments

If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

(h) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is either written off as incurred or accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. 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 which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

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. 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.

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. Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure.

Proceeds from the sale of exploration permits or recoupment of exploration costs from farm-in arrangements are credited against exploration costs previously capitalised. Any excess of the proceeds over costs recouped are accounted for as a gain on disposal.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2012

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(i) Oil and gas properties

Following commencement of production activities all acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development expenditure in relation to an area of interest is accumulated into an oil and gas property.

When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the cost of that property only when substantial economic benefits are established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.

Amortisation of the cost of oil and gas properties is provided on the unit-of-production basis over the proved developed reserves of the field concerned with separate calculations being made for each resource. The unit-of-production basis results in an amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. Amortisation is charged from the commencement of production.

The net carrying value of each property is reviewed regularly for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the asset does not generate largely independent cash follows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such indication exists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the greater of fair-value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using the pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets.

(j) Intangibles assets –solar power energy projects

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

Capitalised development costs will be amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project when revenue is earned.

(k) Fair value estimation

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at fair value. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measured or for disclosure purposes.

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

(l) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year, which remain unpaid at year end. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. They are recognised at fair value on initial recognition and subsequently at amortised cost.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(m) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

(n) Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees‟ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Long service leave

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

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal of providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to present value.

(o) Share Based Payments

The Group may at times provide benefits to employees (including directors) and consultants of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees and consultants render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares („equity-settled transactions‟). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black & Scholes method.

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

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(p) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(q) Income Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements and are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • Except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit or loss; and

  • In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future extent that it is probable that the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:

  • Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authorities, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense item as applicable; and

  • Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(s) Contributed Equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction, net of tax, of the share proceeds received.

(t) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary share and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group‟s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group‟s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group‟s financial targets while protecting future financial security.

The main risks arising from the Group‟s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including for interest rate risk, credit allowances and cash flow forecast projections.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Exposures and Responses

Market Risk

Interest rate risk

The Group‟s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group‟s cash balances. The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. As the Group has no interest bearing borrowings its exposure to interest rate movements is limited to the amount of interest income it can potentially earn on surplus cash deposits. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.

At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

Group Group
2012
$
2011
$
Tenement securitybonds 20,000 20,000
Cash and cash equivalents(interest-bearingaccounts) 1,111,429 612,676
Net exposure 1,131,429 632,676

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. At 31 December 2012, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity relating to financial assets of the Group would have been affected as follows:

Judgments of reasonably possible movements:
Post taxprofit – higher /(lower)
+ 0.5% 5,657 3,163
- 0.5% (5,657) (3,163)
Equity– higher /(lower)
+ 0.5% 5,657 3,163
- 0.5% (5,657) (3,163)

Commodity Price and Foreign Currency Risk

The Group‟s exposure to price and currency risk is minimal given the Group is still in the exploration phase.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group‟s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group‟s reputation.

Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

The Group has access to a $3 million equity line of credit with YA Global. The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. Trade payables were non-interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and other receivables. The Group‟s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the statement of financial position represents the Group‟s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.

The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group‟s policy to securities it trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not have a significant exposure to bad debts.

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

Capital Management Risk

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

Management effectively manages the Group‟s capital by assessing the Group‟s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure, debt levels and share and option issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the Group since the prior year.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair Value

The methods of estimating fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements. All financial assets and liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position, whether they are carried at cost or fair value, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair values unless otherwise stated in the applicable notes.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(i) Exploration expenditure

Expenditure and development expenditure that does not form part of the cash generating units assessed for impairment has been carried forward on the basis that exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. In the event that significant operations cease and/or economically recoverable reserves are not assessed as being present, this expenditure will be expensed to the Income Statement.

Estimates and judgments 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.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group 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.

Based on these reports, management has determined that the Company has one operating segment, being the exploration and development of properties for the development of gas and solar energy.

Types of products and services

The Group currently has no revenue from products or services.

Major customers

The Group has no reliance on major customers.

Geographical areas

The Group‟s non-current assets are located in Australia.

(iii) The vesting conditions of these options are subject to various performance criteria on Soleir solar projects.

24. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

On 17 January 2013, the company announced the mutual termination with Resolve Geo Pty Ltd (“Resolve Geo”) of the farm-in to ATP 946. As part of the termination agreement, the company is no longer required to drill two core holes at the permit, which would have cost approximately $2 million. The settlement involved the issue of 40,000,000 shares to Resolve Geo and a payment of $60,000.

Other than the above, no matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2012 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group‟s operations or affairs in future years.

25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Consolidated Entity has exploration expenditure commitments on granted permits:

The $430,000 commitment could be met by the use of $734,965 restricted cash on hand (as described in Note 8) or by farming in a third party. The group also has two permits in the application stage. Consequently, there may be additional exploration commitments over the term of the permits.

26. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2012 reporting periods. The group‟s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

  • 1) AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

  • These Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The key changes made to accounting requirements include:

    • simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;

    • simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;

    • removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;

    • removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;

    • allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2012

26. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS (cont.)

  - requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity‟s business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity‟s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and
  • requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity‟s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

  • The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these pronouncements on its financial statements.

  • 2) AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011), AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011) and AASB 2011–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 101, 107, 112, 118, 121, 124, 132, 133, 136, 138, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 5, 9, 16 & 17] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) and Interpretation 112: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees.

  • The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of this Standard on its financial statements. AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint arrangements to be classified as either „joint operations‟ (whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or „joint ventures‟ (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint ventures are required to adopt the equity method of accounting (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed).

AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a „structured entity‟, replacing the „special purpose entity‟ concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structured entities. This Standard will only affect disclosures and is not expected to significantly impact the Group.

To facilitate the application of AASBs 10, 11 and 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued. These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.

  • 3) AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 [AASB 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 2010–7, 101, 102, 108, 110, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 1004, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 131 & 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. AASB 13 requires:

  • inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and

  • enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and financial liabilities) measured at fair value.

These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.

  • 4) AASB 2011–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income [AASB 1, 5, 7, 101, 112, 120, 121, 132, 133, 134, 1039 & 1049] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2012).

  • The main change arising from this Standard is the requirement for entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently. This Standard affects presentation only and is not expected to significantly impact the Group.

  • 5) AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011–10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 [AASB 1, AASB 8, AASB 101, AASB 124, AASB 134, AASB 1049 & AASB 2011–8 and Interpretation 14] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

  • These Standards introduce a number of changes to the presentation and disclosure of defined benefit plans, including:

    • removal of the „corridor‟ approach from AASB 119, thereby requiring entities to recognise all changes in a net defined benefit liability (asset) when they occur;

    • disaggregation of changes in a net defined benefit liability (asset) into service cost (including past service cost and gains and losses on non-routine settlements and curtailments), net interest expense [interest based on the net defined benefit liability (asset) using the discount rate applicable to post-employment benefits] and remeasurements [comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets less the „revenue‟ component of the net interest expense, and any change in the limit on a defined benefit asset]. In addition, AASB 119 [September 2011] requires recognition of:

      • service cost and net interest expense in profit or loss; and

      • remeasurements in OCI; and

    • introduces enhanced disclosure requirements to facilitate the provision of more useful information in relation to entity‟s defined benefit plans.

  • AASB 119 [September 2011] also includes changes to the accounting for termination benefits that require an entity to recognise an obligation for such benefits at the earlier of:

    • (i) for an offer that may be withdrawn – when the employee accepts;

    • (ii) for an offer that cannot be withdrawn – when the offer is communicated to affected employees; and

    • (iii) where the termination is associated with a restructuring of activities under AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and if earlier than the first two conditions – when the related restructuring costs are recognised.

The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these changes on its financial statements.

  • 6) AASB 2011–4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements [AASB 124] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013). This Standard amends AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove all the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosures contained in Aus paragraphs 29.1 to 29.9.3.

This Standard will only impact the disclosure requirements of the Group.

  • 7) AASB 2012–3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities [AASB 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 Jan 2014). This Standard adds application guidance to AASB 132 to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132. This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group.

These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
