Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011 Select Vaccines Limited
Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder
After announcing a change in strategic direction for Select Vaccines Limited (“ Select” or “the Company” ) in September 2010, the majority of the year ended 31 December 2011 was spent assessing and reviewing identified projects that the Board thought would be suitable for Select’s new strategic direction.
Unfortunately the majority of the projects assessed did not meet the Board’s due diligence requirements.
On 19 December 2011, the Board announced that it completed high level due diligence and signed a binding Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) with Mauritian based explorer Indigo Metals Limited (“Indigo”) to acquire 100% of the issued capital of two wholly owned Mauritian entities and their subsidiaries, which own tenement portfolio of four (4) highly prospective and potentially large scale coal and uranium projects (“Projects”) located in the United Republic of Tanzania (“Tanzania”), East Africa.
The HoA entitles Select to acquire 100% of the issued capital of two (2) Mauritian companies, Panama Resources Ltd (“Panama”) and Shira Resources Ltd (“Shira”) and their two Tanzanian subsidiaries, IBIS Resources Ltd (IBIS) and WTF Resources Ltd (WTF) which together hold thirty two (32) prospecting licenses that are either granted by or under application with the Ministry of Energy and Minerals in Tanzania.

Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011 Select Vaccines Limited
Letter to Shareholders (continued)
All four (4) projects are located in a region that hosts significant energy projects as detailed in the announcement dated 19 December 2011.
Tanzania has not been thoroughly explored for coal or uranium. The majority of the highly prospective Karoo stratigraphy, that is known to host world class deposits in neighbouring countries, has never been drilled within Tanzania in most places.
As detailed in the announcement dated 19 December 2011, the transaction is subject to completion of due diligence by Select, Select shareholder approval (as required by listing rules 10.1 and 11.1.3), re-compliance with the listing rules and ASX approval of the performance share terms and conditions.
The Company will also seek shareholder approval to change its name to Select Exploration Ltd (which has been reserved with ASIC) to better reflect the new nature of the Company subject to successful completion of the Transaction.
The current directors of Select own seventy six (76%) of Indigo Metals Limited and are therefore related parties under ASX Listing rule 10.1 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. The Company will require shareholder approval to proceed with the transaction and will also commission an independent experts report as part of the shareholder approval process.
The Company is in the process of finalising the transaction and obtaining an Independent Expert Report. A notice of meeting will be issued to shareholders shortly including the final Independent Experts Report.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you as shareholders for your continued support of Select as it has assessed and reviewed the potential projects over the past year. The Board now believes it has an exciting portfolio of energy tenements in a potentially prospective region in a progressive country. Once shareholder approval is obtained the Board’s intention is to undertake an aggressive drilling program which will hopefully deliver results and build shareholder value.
We look forward to keeping you as shareholders informed on all aspects of the proposed transaction and future of the Company.
Yours faithfully

Directors’ Report
Your directors present the following report on Select Vaccines Limited (referred to hereafter as “the Company”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2011.
Directors
The names of the Directors in office during the financial year and until the date of this report are as follows. All directors were in office for the entire period unless otherwise stated:
Mr Ian Macliver Chairman, Non-Executive Director (appointed 14 September 2010) Mr Mark Titchener Non-Executive Director (appointed 14 September 2010) Mr Gary Seabrooke Non-Executive Director (appointed 10 January 2011) Ms Cherie Leeden Non-Executive Director (appointed 10 January 2011) Mr Phil Warren Non-Executive Director (appointed 14 September 2010, resigned 6 January 2011)
Principal Activities
The principal activity of the Company for the period 1 January 2011 to 19 December 2011 was pursuing new business opportunities. On 19 December the Company signed a Heads of Agreements and has since refocused its principal activities on acquiring prospecting licenses for energy minerals focusing on coal and uranium in Tanzania.
Review of Operations
The Statement of Comprehensive Income shows a net loss attributable to members of $674,393 (2010: $414,186) for the year ended 31 December 2011.
Since the sale of its vaccine technologies on 10 September 2010 the Board has evaluated several development and investment opportunities that it felt could be suitable for Select Vaccines Limited moving forward. Prior to the signing of the Heads of Agreement on 19 December 2011, none of these opportunities progressed to a level that warranted disclosure to the market and the board continued to review investments and businesses that may be undervalued and present an opportunity to increase shareholder value until a suitable opportunity presented.
In the meantime, the company continues to carefully manage its cash reserves to ensure a meaningful return for shareholders while retaining relatively low risk.
Dividends
No dividend has been paid or recommended by the Directors since the commencement of the financial year.
Significant Changes in State Of Affairs
On 19 December 2011 the Company executed a Heads of Agreements to acquire prospecting licenses for energy minerals focusing on coal and uranium in Tanzania. The Company did not undertake any capital raising initiatives in the 2011 financial year.

Directors’ Report (continued)
After Reporting Date Events
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the entity in future financial years.
Likely Developments and Expected Results
The Company intends to obtain all necessary Shareholder approvals as are required (including under Select’s constitution, the listing rules of the ASX and the Corporations Act 2001) to give effect to the acquisition contemplated by the Heads of Agreement.
The Company will also seek to obtain all necessary regulatory requirements (including re-compliance with chapters 1 and 2 of the listing rules of ASX on terms which the Company believes are capable of satisfaction acting reasonably and ASX approval of the terms of the Heads of Agreement) as are required to give effect to the acquisition contemplated by this Agreement.
Financial Position
The net assets of the Company have decreased from $1,509,781 at 31 December 2010 to $812,588 at 31 December 2011.
Environmental Regulation
The Company’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulation under either Commonwealth or State legislation. However, the board believes that the Company has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental requirements and is not aware of any breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Company.
The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of both the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 . As the Company has not undertaken any activity in the last financial year it considers that it does not have any obligations under these Acts.

-
B Details of remuneration
-
C Service agreements

D Share-based compensation
A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The Board has elected not to establish a remuneration committee based on the size of the organisation and has instead agreed to meet as deemed necessary and allocate the appropriate time at its board meetings.
The following items are considered and discussed as deemed necessary at the board meetings:
-
make specific recommendations to the board on remuneration of directors and senior officers;
-
recommend the terms and conditions of employment for the Executive Director;
-
undertake a review of the Executive Director’s performance, at least annually, including setting with the Executive Director goals for the coming year and reviewing progress in achieving those goals;
-
consider and report to the Board on the recommendations of the Executive Director on the remuneration of all direct reports; and
-
develop and facilitate a process for Board and Director evaluation.
Non-Executive Directors
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.
Directors’ Fees
Non-executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $250,000 per annum and was approved at the annual general meeting. The Directors resolved on 16 December 2010 in line with the Company’s constitution that the chairman will receive $40,000 (including super) per annum and non-executive directors will receive $40,000 (including super) per annum.
The following fees are applicable since 1 January 2011:

Page 8
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011 Select Vaccines Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
Additional fees
A director may also be paid fees or other amounts as the directors determine if a director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director. A director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties.
Retirement allowances for directors
Superannuation contributions required under the Australian Superannuation Guarantee Legislation continue to be made and are deducted from the directors’ overall fee entitlements.
Executive pay
The executive pay and reward framework has two components:
-
base pay and benefits, including superannuation; and
-
long-term incentives through participation in the Employee Share Option Plan.
The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration. The Company intends to revisit its long-term equity-linked performance incentives for executives as deemed necessary by the Board.
Base pay
The employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed nonfinancial benefits at the executives’ discretion.
Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Base pay for executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executives’ pay is competitive with the market. An executive’s pay is also reviewed every 12 months and may increase every 12 months.
Benefits
No benefits other than noted above are paid to directors or management except as incurred in normal operations of the business.
Long term incentives
The executives are entitled to participate in the Employee Incentive Scheme. There have been no options issued to employees at the date of this report. The options on issue will be approved at the next general meeting.

Directors’ Report (continued)
Indemnification of officers
During the financial year the Company entered into a policy to indemnify directors and officers against certain liabilities incurred as a director or officer, including costs and expenses associated in successfully defending legal proceedings. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or an auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.
Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Company with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.
Non-Audit Services
During the year ended 31 December 2011 the economic entity paid $11,929 to Hall Chadwick (2010: $7,023 to McLean Delmo Hall Chadwick) for taxation services. No fees were paid to BDO for non-audit services during the year.
The board considers non-audit services provided by the auditor in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Board to satisfy themselves that the provision of those non audit services is compatible with, and does not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
all non-audit services are subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and review of the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
all non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Lead Auditors’ Independence Declaration under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001.
The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 55 for the year ended 31 December 2011.
This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors:

Notes to the Financial Statements
This financial report includes the financial statements and notes of Select Vaccines Limited.
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has 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 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 the 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 as fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Select Vaccines Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Select Vaccines Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Company during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 11 to the financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
c) Income Tax
The income tax expense/ (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense/ (income) and deferred tax expense/ (income).
Page 17
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011 Select Vaccines Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c) Income Tax (cont’d)
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 the end of the reporting period. 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.
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 the end of the reporting period. 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.
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)
Leases
Lease payments for operating leases where substantially all of the risks and benefits are charged as expenses remain with the lessor, in the periods in which they are incurred.
e) Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the
Page 18
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011 Select Vaccines Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
e) Financial Instruments (cont’d)
Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.)
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired.
f) Impairment of Assets
At each the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
h) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
i) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Company during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
j) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the normal amount due. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis.
k) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the 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.

l) Comparative Figures
Where required by accounting standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
Where the Company applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
m) Going concern
At 31 December 2011, the Company has cash funds available of $775,667 and working capital of $812,588. For the year ending 31 December 2011 the Company incurred an operating loss of $647,393 and had net cash used in operating activities of $628,292.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern. The Directors’ are of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company’s short term working capital requirements.
However, the Company will require further financing in order to meet its obligations under the Heads of Agreement signed on the 19 December 2011. The Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Panama and Shira includes cash consideration of AUD$20,000 upon execution of the SSA and AUD$580,000 payable at completion.
The Directors are aware that the Company will need to obtain additional finance as needed and if unable to raise the required funding to meet the ongoing needs of the Company it may need to extinguish its liabilities and recognise its’ assets at amounts other than those stated in the financial statements. Funding requirements will be met way of equity or debt funding or a combination of both.
n) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
o) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
The profit attributable to owners 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 and excluding treasury shares.
p) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards
During the current year the Company adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
q) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Company has decided against early adoption of these standards and does not expect these requirements to have any material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Page 22
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011 Select Vaccines Limited
| AASB reference | Title and Affected **Standard(s): ** |
Nature of Change | Application date: | Impact on Initial Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 9 (issued December 2009 and amended December 2010) |
Financial Instruments � � |
Amends the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets. The following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139_Financial Instruments: Recognition and_ _Measurement_into AASB 9. These include the requirements relating to: Classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities. However, AASB 9 requires that gains or losses on financial liabilities measured at fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk are recognised in other comprehensive income. |
Periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 |
Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the 31 December 2015 year end. The entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments. The entity does not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. There will therefore be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments to AASB 9 are first adopted. |
| AASB 10 (issued August 2011) | Consolidated Financial Statements |
Introduces a single ‘control model’ for all entities, including special purpose entities (SPEs), whereby all of the following conditions must be present: Power over investee (whether or not power used in practice) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from investee � Ability to use power over investee to affect the entity’s returns from investee. |
Annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013 |
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 31 December 2013, there will be no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements because the entity does not have any special purpose entities. |
| AASB 11 (issued August 2011) | Joint Arrangements | Joint arrangements will be classified as either ‘joint operations’ (where parties with joint control have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities) or ‘joint ventures’ (where parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint arrangements structured as a separate vehicle will generally be treated as joint ventures and accounted for using the equity method(proportionate consolidation no longer allowed). |
Annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013 |
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 31 December 2013, there will be no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements because the entity has not entered into any joint arrangements. |
| AASB 13 (issued September 2011) |
Fair Value Measurement | Additional disclosures required for items measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, as well as items merely disclosed at fair value in the notes to the financial statements. Extensive additional disclosure requirements for items measured at fair value that are ‘level 3’ valuations in the fair value hierarchy that are not financial instruments, e.g. land and buildings, investment properties etc. |
Annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013 |
When this standard is adopted for the first time on 1 January 2013, additional disclosures will be required about fair values. |
| AASB 2011-9 (issued September 2011) |
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income |
Amendments to align the presentation of items of other comprehensive income (OCI) with US GAAP. Various name changes of statements in AASB 101 as follows: 1 statement of comprehensive income – to be referred to as ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’ 2 statements – to be referred to as ‘statement of profit or loss’ and ‘statement of comprehensive income’. OCI items must be grouped together into two sections: those that could subsequently be reclassified into profit or loss and those that cannot. |
Annual periods commencing on or after 1 July 2012 |
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 31 December 2013, there will be no impact on amounts recognised for transactions and balances for 31 December 2012 (and comparatives). However, the statement of comprehensive income will include name changes and include subtotals for items of OCI that can subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss in future (e.g. foreign currency translation reserves) and those that cannot subsequently be reclassified (e.g. fixed asset revaluation surpluses). |

| AASB reference | Title and Affected **Standard(s): ** |
Nature of Change | Application date: | Impact on Initial Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interpretation 20 (issued November 2011) |
Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine |
Clarifies that costs of removing mine waste materials (overburden) to gain access to mineral ore deposits during the production phase of a mine must be capitalised as inventories under AASB 102_Inventories_if the benefits from stripping activity is realised in the form of inventory produced. Otherwise, if stripping activity provides improved access to the ore, stripping costs must be capitalised as a non-current, stripping activity asset if certain recognition criteria are met (as an addition to, or enhancement of,an existingasset). |
Annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013 |
The entity does not operate a surface mine. There will therefore be no impact on the financial statements when this interpretation is first adopted. |
The financial report was authorised for issue on 29 February 2012 by the Board of Directors.

c) Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the Company in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Company can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.
The Company’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.
There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the Company’s capital by assessing the Company’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 debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Company since the prior year. The gearing ratio for the year ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 are as follows:

Financial Risk Management Policies
The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and managing financial risk exposures of the Company. The board monitors the Company’s financial risk management policies and exposures and approves financial transactions. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to counterparty credit risk, financing risk and interest rate risk.
The board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of the credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk.
a) Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Company.
Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on the division within the Company, credit terms are generally 30 to 60 days from the invoice date.
Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating.
Page 38
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011 Select Vaccines Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 22: Financial Risk Management (cont’d)
Credit Risk Exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at reporting date is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position.
The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties, except the Australian Taxation Office.
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board in accordance with approved board policy. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on Standard & Poor’s counterparty credit ratings.
| credit ratings. | |
|---|---|
| Company 2011 $ Company 2010 $ |
|
| Cash and cash equivalents — AAA Rated 8 |
775,667 1,426,759 |
| 775,667 1,426,759 |
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Company manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
-
preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;
-
obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
-
maintaining a reputable credit profile;
-
managing credit risk related to financial assets;
-
only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
-
comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.
The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.
Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

c) Market Risk
-
i. Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Company is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Company’s exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

Net Fair Values
Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the statement of financial position. 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.
Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated.

Corporate Governance (continued)
Directors’ Remuneration
The remuneration of non executive Directors is different to that of executives. Executive Directors receive a salary and may receive other benefits.
Non executive Directors receive a set fee per annum, in addition to their statutory superannuation entitlements, and are fully reimbursed for any out of pocket expenses necessarily incurred in carrying out their duties. When reviewing Director’s fees the Board takes into account any changes in the size and scope of Select’s activities. Currently the Non-executive Directors have a $40,000 set fee.
The Board will review the remuneration and policies applicable to all Directors on an annual basis. Remuneration levels will be competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced Directors and senior Executives. Where necessary the Board will obtain independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages.
The structure and disclosure of the Company’s remuneration policies for Directors are set out in the Directors Report.
Board Access to Information
All Directors have unrestricted access to all employees of the Company and, subject to the law, access to all Company records and information held by an employees and/or external advisers. The Board receives regular detailed financial and operational reports to enable it to carry out its duties.
Each Director may, with the prior written approval of the Chairman, obtain independent professional advice to assist the Director in the proper exercise of powers and discharge of duties as a Director or as a member of a Board Committee. The Company will reimburse the Director for the reasonable expense of obtaining that advice.
Board Committees
The Board, where appropriate, may establish a number of committees to assist in carrying out its responsibilities in an effective and efficient manner.
1. Nomination Committee
The full Board carries out the role of the nomination committee. The full Board did not officially convene as a nomination committee during the Reporting Period, however nomination related discussions occurred from time to time during the year as required.

The full Board did not officially convene as an audit committee during the Reporting Period, however audit related discussions occurred from time to time during the year as required. Details of each of the director's qualifications are set out in the Director's Report.
All of the directors consider themselves to be financially literate and have industry experience.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SELECT VACCINES LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Select Vaccines Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Select Vaccines Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.

Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Select Vaccines Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 (m) in the financial report, which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of $674,393 during the year ended 31 December 2011. The company will be required to seek additional funding through debt, equity or other means to continue its activities. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 (m), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2011. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Select Vaccines Limited for the year ended 31 December 2011 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
