Directors' Report

Your Directors present their report on the Consolidated Entity consisting of Strike Resources Limited ("Company" or "Strike") and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2013.

Directors

The following persons were Directors of Strike during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report:

Malcolm Richmond Matthew Hammond

William Johnson was appointed Managing Director on 25 March 2013.

Samantha Tough

Ken Hellsten was a director from the beginning of the financial year until his resignation on 19 January 2013.

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year consisted of the ongoing exploration and evaluation of the Consolidated Entity's interest in the Apurimac and Cusco Iron Ore Projects located in Peru, South America.

The Consolidated Entity sold its Berau Thermal Coal Project in Indonesia during the year.

Dividends

No dividends have been paid or declared during the financial year. At the date of this report, no dividend has been recommended for payment in respect of the reporting period.

Review of Operations

Highlights

  • Move to 100% control of the Company's Peruvian iron ore projects, alongside retention of a strong balance sheet position.
  • Decision to focus on the flagship Apurimac iron ore project, where the core objective is to validate Apurimac's high grade magnetite exploration target of at least 500Mt of iron ore (including current resources) at a grade of 56 – 58% Fe to support the establishment of a 15 – 20 Mtpa iron ore operation.
  • Relocation of the Managing Director, William Johnston, to Peru successfully sees breakthrough made on community relations with a key Apurimac community.

The 2012-2013 year for Strike Resources saw both significant corporate success, with the successful move to acquire 100% control of the Company's key Peruvian projects, and some constraint on project activity as the Company made the necessary changes to adapt to this new strategic position.

By moving to 100% ownership, the Company is now in a position to completely control the direction and progress of the projects, as well as ensure that community relations are not compromised.

To capitalise on this focus, the Company rebased the management team, and Managing Director, to Peru.

The Company is now seeing some early success from the 100% focus on Peru, with initial community access agreements reached. The Company now hopes to commence drilling for additional resources at Apurimac in the second quarter of calendar 2014.

Balance sheet strength was retained during the year, with the Company ending the year with $14.4 million in cash. This healthy balance sheet will stand the Company in good stead, as capital for junior resources firms continues to prove scarce.

The year ahead should see significant value added at the Apurimac project, as the Company regains access and seeks environmental approvals to recommence drilling and add further JORC resources**.**

A detailed discussion and analysis of Strike's operations will be set out in the annual report.

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

In December 2012 the Company completed a settlement agreement with its Peruvian joint venture partner D&C, to acquire the remaining 50% equity interest in Apurimac Ferrum S.A. (AF). Under the Shootout Settlement Agreement Strike moved to 100% ownership of AF.

The Settlement Agreement represents the achievement of Strike's long-held objective of moving to 100% ownership of AF. Importantly, the acquisition terms were designed to preserve Strike's cash. Moving to full control of AF enables Strike to focus on driving exploration efforts and progressing key project milestones at Apurimac.

On 18 January 2013 Mr Ken Hellsten announced his retirement as Managing Director, a position he had held since March 2010.

Non-Executive Director William Johnson was appointed Managing Director to succeed Mr Hellsten. Mr Johnson has been a Strike Director since 2006, serving in an executive capacity until 2010.

On 7 December 2012, after protracted negotiations, Strike and its partner signed a set of agreements to settle the dispute over the Berau Coal Project. As a result Strike received US$4.3M in April 2013 for selling its interest in the project.

Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year

On 30 July 2013 the Company advised of the increased resources reported at Cuervo Resources Inc.'s Cerro Ccopane project.

On 15 August 2013, the Company confirmed it had made a confidential non-binding offer to Cuervo Resources Inc. in respect of certain Peruvian iron ore assets including the Cerro Ccopane project. This offer was subsequently rejected by Cuervo.

On 9 September 2013, the Company reached an agreement with local Apurimac community to enable commencement of regulatory approvals for future drilling program. The approval forms part of key next stage in validating Apurimac's high grade magnetite exploration target of at least 500 million tonnes or iron ore.

There have been no further changes of significance since then.

Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations

Strike's core objective is to validate its flagship Apurimac project's high grade magnetite exploration target of at least 500Mt of iron ore (including current resources) at a grade of 56 – 58% Fe to support the establishment of a 15 – 20 Mtpa iron ore operation. Current JORC Resources stand at 269Mt of iron ore at 57.3% Fe (142 Mt Indicated at 57.84% Fe and 127 Mt Inferred at 56.7% Fe).

Meeting the objective to validate the exploration target requires suitable access approvals from the local communities (in particular the Huinchos and Huancabamba communities), alongside a much stronger overall relationship with the communities. Necessary Government pre-approval on an environmental assessment of any planned drill program will also be required.

Accordingly, the pursuit of these community and Government approvals, alongside drill program planning and non-ground disturbing exploration work (surface mapping, ground sampling or remote sensing techniques including geophysics surveys) form the core of Strike's immediate activities.

Strike was successful during the year in reaching agreement with the Huinchos community in Apurimac. The agreement allows Strike to access its most important concessions for the purpose of preparing an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") to enable assessment by the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines of its proposed drilling campaign and to conduct non surface-disturbing exploration activities such as mapping, surveying and geophysical studies.

The agreement extends over the main Opaban 1 concession within Apurimac which contains the majority of resources defined to date at Apurimac and the majority of the project area that Strike is seeking to drill during 2014.

Approval of the EIA and the associated community agreement will clear the way for Strike to commence drilling at Apurimac. The EIA study process in Peru is expected to take 6 – 9 months to complete, so Strike is targeting the second quarter of 2014 for the commencement of Drilling at Opaban.

A two stage drilling program has been prepared in anticipation of receiving final approvals. Stage one of the drilling program consists of 135 mostly Reverse Circulation (RC) holes to test the extension of the Opaban ore bodies along strike and down dip. The strike length of the magnetic anomaly covering the Opaban ore bodies is 5.4km in Strike-owned concessions, with only 50% of this being tested to date with drilling. There is therefore considerable opportunity to significantly expand the current Opaban resource.

Environmental Regulation

The Consolidated Entity notes the reporting requirements of both the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 ("EEOA") and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 ("NGERA").

The Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 requires an affected company to assess its energy usage, including the identification, investigation and evaluation of energy saving opportunities, and to report publicly on the assessments undertaken, including what action the company intends to take as a result.

The Consolidated Entity has determined that it does not operate a recognised facility requiring registration and reporting under the NGERA and, in any event it would fall under the threshold of greenhouse gas emissions required for registration and reporting. Similarly, the Consolidated Entity's energy consumption would fall under the threshold required for registration and reporting under the EEOA.

The Consolidated Entity is not otherwise subject to any particular or significant environmental regulation under either Commonwealth or State legislation. To the extent that any environmental regulations may have an incidental impact on the Consolidated Entity's operations, the Directors are not aware of any breach by the Consolidated Entity of those regulations.

Role of Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is a committee of the Board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:

  • the necessary and desirable competencies of Directors and the extent to which these are reflected in the Board
  • suitable candidates for the position of Managing Director, when required
  • the development and review of Board succession plans
  • the appointment and re-election of Directors
  • making recommendations to the Board on policy governing the benefits of the Managing Director and any other Executive Director, including equity-based remuneration
  • making recommendations to the Board on the specific benefits to be provided to the Managing Director within the policy

Role of Remuneration and Nomination Committee (continued)

  • conducting an annual review of Non-Executive Directors' fees and determining whether the limit on the Non-Executive Directors' fee pool remains appropriate, and
  • assisting the Managing Director to determine the remuneration (including equity- based remuneration) of Senior Management and advise on those determinations

The purposes of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are to:

  • assist the Managing Director and the Board to adopt and implement a remuneration system that is required to attract, retain and motivate the personnel who will enable the Company to achieve long-term success; and
  • identify appropriate candidates for membership of the Board and, when necessary, identify suitable candidates for the role of Managing Director.

In doing this, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee seeks advice from independent remuneration consultants and consults market and industry surveys.

Ultimate responsibility for the Company's remuneration and nomination policies and practices remains with the full Board.

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this Committee.

A copy of Strike's Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter can be found on the Company's website at www.strikeresources.com.au.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible to review Non-Executive Directors' fees annually and makes recommendation to the Board. The Board has also considered the advice of independent market consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chair's fees are determined independently to the fees of Non-Executive Directors' based on comparative roles in the external market.

Pursuant to the Company's Constitution, each Director is entitled to receive:

  • Payment for the performance of extra services and the undertaking of any executive or other work for the Company beyond his or her general duties; and
  • Payment for travelling and other expenses properly incurred by a Director in attending meetings of the Company or the Board or in connection with the Company's business.

Historically the Board had resolved to remunerate Non-Executive Directors for work over and above that included in their base Director's fee under a Special Exertion Policy. Where additional services are approved by the Board the Non-Executive Director is entitled to receive $350 per hour plus reimbursement of expenses.

With the exception of the above Special Exertion Policy, Non-Executive Directors do not receive performancebased pay. The Board had also previously resolved and issued Non-Executive Directors with options at various exercise prices and maturity dates as deemed appropriate at that time, however, in line with Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations this is no longer the practice.

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 $500,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 25 November 2009.

The Chair's remuneration was reviewed upon his appointment, in February 2011.

Each Non-Executive Director receives $45,000 per year, except for Ms Tough. Ms Tough receives a higher fee, being the market rate that the Company determined was appropriate at the time she was appointed.

Directors' fees (continued)

During the year the aggregate fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of the Company were as follows:

Director Office held Gross Salary/fees and Superannuation for the Period
Fees Specialexertions Superannuation Total
$ $ $ $
M Richmond Chairman 70,000 - 6,300 76,300

W Johnson 2 Non-Executive Director 26,250 - 2,362 28,612
S Tough 3 Non-Executive Director 80,000 - 7,200 87,200
  1. The Director's fee for Mr Hammond was reviewed in October 2010.

  2. Mr Johnson ceased from the position of a Non-Executive Director on 21 January 2013.

  3. Ms Tough was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 23 January 2012. Her Director's fee was approved upon appointment.

Retirement Allowances for Non-Executive Directors

In line with the guidance from the ASX Corporate Governance Council on Non-Executive Directors' remuneration, no Non-Executive Directors receive retirement allowances. Superannuation contributions required under the Australian superannuation guarantee legislation continue to be made and are deducted from the directors' overall fee entitlements.

Executive Remuneration Policy and Framework

In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:

  • competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent
  • aligned to the Company's strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value
  • transparent, and
  • acceptable to shareholders.

The executive remuneration framework has three components:

  • base pay and benefits, including superannuation
  • short-term performance incentives, and
  • long-term incentives through participation in the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan.

Executive Remuneration

In accordance with the Company's objective to ensure that executive remuneration is aligned to Company performance, a significant portion of the Managing Director's target pay is "at risk".

Base Pay and Benefits

Executives receive their base pay and benefits structured as a total employment cost (TEC) package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executive's discretion.

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Independent remuneration consultants and/or reports provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base pay for executives is also reviewed on promotion.

There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in the executives' contracts.

Short-term Incentives

The Managing Director has the opportunity to earn an annual short-term incentive (STI) if predefined targets are achieved. The targets are reviewed annually.

STI targets for the Managing Director in the 2013 financial year were set by the Remuneration Committee for the Managing Director as follows.

STI targets – Managing Director

Metrics Weighting
Execution of key Community approvals in Peru 50%
Securing additional funding to advance exploration activities and/or securing a strategicinvestor into the Apurimac and/or Cusco Projects. 50%

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for assessing whether the KPIs are met. To assist in this assessment, the Committee receives detailed reports on performance from management which are verified by industry surveys and, where deemed appropriate, independent remuneration consultants. The Committee will make recommendations to the Board to adjust short-term incentives downwards in light of unexpected or unintended circumstances. Other senior executives currently do not have any short term incentives such as cash bonuses included in their employment contracts. The executives' performance is assessed on an annual basis and bonuses may be awarded on achievement of key performance objectives by recommendation of the Managing Director and at the discretion of the Board.

Long-term Incentives

Long-term incentives are provided to certain employees via the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan which was approved by shareholders at the 6 November 2008 annual general meeting. The Employee Option Plan was subsequently amended on 8 November 2011.

The Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for executives to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted options which are vested on issue. The Board has discretion to determine the exercise price and maturity date. Participation in the plan is at Board discretion and will often form part of an employment contract.

Director options were granted during the 2013 financial year which contributed to the long-term incentives. Details are contained within the notes to the accounts.

Share Trading Policy

The Company's Share Trading Policy regulates all Directors' and, employees' of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors', dealings in the Company's securities. The Policy prohibits:

  • subscribing for, purchasing or selling Company securities or entering into an agreement to do any of those things; and
  • advising, procuring or encouraging another person (including a family member, friend, associate, colleague, family company or family trust) to trade in Company securities,

whilst in possession of market-sensitive information, prior to disclosure of that information to the market and thereafter until adequate time has elapsed for this to be reflected in the security's price, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. The Policy also prohibits communicating inside information to any other person when directors, employees of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors should reasonably know that they may deal in the Company's securities or encourage another person to do so.

In order to further reduce the risk of inappropriate securities dealing, directors, employees of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors, must not deal in Company securities without the written consent of the "Trading Officers" nominated in the Company's Share Trading Policy. Consent will not be given during certain "Prohibited Periods" before key reporting dates or while inside information exists.

Share Trading Policy (continued)

Directors, employees of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors must inform the Company Secretary of all transactions they enter into involving the Company's securities to enable disclosure to the market, where required.

A copy of Strike's Share Trading Policy can be found on the Company's website as www.strikeresources.com.au.

Voting and Comments Made at the Company's 2012 Annual General Meeting

Strike Resources Limited received more than 99% (2011: 94%) of "yes" votes on its remuneration report for the 2012 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

Service Agreements

Appointment to the Board as a Director is via resolution which outlines the Director's agreed remuneration. The appointment is later ratified by shareholders at the next general meeting. No formal service agreements are executed for Non-Executive Directors. On the appointment to the Board, the Company enters into a deed with each Non-Executive Director to regulate certain matters between the Company and that Non-Executive Director, however Matthew Hammond has not executed such a deed.

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director and other key management personnel are formalised in Employment Agreements. The Employment Agreement of the Managing Director provides for the provision of performance-related cash bonuses, which are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. No specific cash bonuses are provided in the Employment Agreements of other key management personnel.

All agreements with Executives may be terminated early by either party with notice periods from 1-3 months, except for the Managing Director who has a 6 month notice period.

Share-based Compensation

The terms and conditions of each grant of options affecting remuneration in the current or a future reporting period are as follows:

Grant date Vesting andexercise date Expiry date Exerciseprice Value peroption atgrant date Performanceachieved % Vested
18 June 2013 18 June 2013 17 June 2018 $0.30 $0.014 N/A 100%

Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights.

When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share within 5 business days after the exercise.

Details of options over ordinary shares in the Company provided as remuneration to each director of Strike Resources Limited and each of the key management personnel of the Company and the Consolidated Entity are set out below. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of Strike Resources Limited. Further information on the options is set out in note 29 to the financial statements.

* The value at grant date calculated in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment of options granted during the year as part of remuneration. ** The value at lapse date of options that were granted as part of remuneration and that lapsed during the year because a vesting condition was

not satisfied, or the participant ceased to be employee of the Company. The value is determined at the time of lapsing, but assuming the condition was satisfied.

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above. Fair values at grant date are independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

Shares Provided on Exercise of Remuneration Options

There were no shares issued as a result of the exercise of Directors' or employee options which were issued as part of remuneration during the current year (2012: nil).

Details of Remuneration: Bonuses and Share-based Compensation Benefits

For each cash bonus and grant of options included in the tables on pages 15, the percentage of the available bonus or grant that was paid, or that vested, in the financial year and the percentage that was forfeited because

the person did not meet the service and performance criteria is set out below. No part of the bonus is payable in future years. The options vest immediately and will lapse on termination of employment, except due to redundancy or disability, in which case they will continue for 12 months or until any earlier expiry date. The Board has discretion to vary the lapse dates of terminating employees' options.

This concludes the Audit Remuneration Report

Insurance of Officer

The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of premiums paid in respect of a Directors' and Officers' liability and legal expenses insurance contract, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

The Company has executed Directors' deeds with each Director (other than Matthew Hammond) to indemnify the directors for liabilities or legal costs incurred as an officer and advance monies to meet costs in relation to the indemnities under the deed.

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.

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor (BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd) and to other parties for work performed on behalf of the auditor, for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out below.

The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in accordance with advice received from the Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Strike Resources Limited, its subsidiaries and its interest in associate entities.

a. Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Strike Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(i) Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of Strike Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Consolidated Entity

None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2012 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. However, the adoption of AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures and AASB 2011-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project enabled the removal of certain disclosures in relation to commitments and the franking of dividends. The amendment (part of AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to AASB 101, the statement of comprehensive income is renamed as a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The amendments to AASB 101 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis – the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to AASB 101 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.

(iii)Early adoption of standards

The Consolidated Entity has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2013 apart from the early adoption of AASB 9 'Financial Instruments'.

(iv) Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value though profit or loss, assets of disposal group held for sale and capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure.

(v)Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Consolidated Entity's accounting policies. The area involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or area where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

b. Principles of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Strike Resources Limited ("Company" or "Strike") as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity (refer to note 1(h)).

Intercompany 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 assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.

(ii) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Consolidated Entity has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Consolidated Entity's investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.

The Consolidated Entity's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Consolidated Entity's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidate Entity does not recognise any further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Consolidated Entity and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity.

(iii) Changes in ownership interests

The Consolidated Entity treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Consolidated Entity. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Strike Resources Limited.

When the Consolidated Entity ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for retained interest as an associate. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Consolidated Entity had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

c. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Managing Director. The Managing Director is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

d. Foreign Currency Translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each company in the Consolidated Entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Strike Resources Limited's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains or losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income or operating expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet
  • income and expenses for Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
  • all resulting exchange differences are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

e. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The Consolidated Entity recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Consolidated Entity's activities as described below. The Consolidate Entity bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

(i) Consultancy fees

Revenue from consulting services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.

(ii) Sale of goods and disposal of assets

Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when the Consolidated Entity has passed control and the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods/assets to the buyer.

(iii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Consolidated Entity 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. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

(iv) Dividends

Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence, refer note 1(m).

(v)Other revenues

Other revenues are recognised on a receipts basis.

f. Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and for unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, respectively.

g. Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Consolidated Entity as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

h. Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Consolidated Entity. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identified assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an-acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Consolidated Entity recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted at their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the Consolidated Entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

i. Impairment of Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

j. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the Consolidate Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

k. Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectable in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

l. Assets (or disposal groups) Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of de-recognition.

Assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of the business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

m. Investments and Other Financial Assets Classification

The Consolidated Entity classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investment at initial recognition.

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

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise they are classified as non-current.

(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. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.

Financial assets-reclassification

The Consolidated Entity may choose to reclassify non-derivative trading financial assets out of the held for trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held for trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the Consolidated Entity may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of held for trading if the Consolidated Entity has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.

Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

Recognition and de-recognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Consolidated Entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Consolidated Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Consolidated Entity measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the profit or loss.

Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the "financial asset at fair value through profit or loss" category are presented in profit or loss within Other Comprehensive Income or Other Operating Expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Consolidated Entity's right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses).

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 2.

Impairment

The Consolidated Entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is impaired and the impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a "loss event") and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

(i) Financial Assets carried at amortised cost

For loans and receivables, the amount of 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. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss.

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 (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

n. Property, Plant and Equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or re-valued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter lease term as follows:

Furniture & fittings 15% to 66.67%
Computer equipment 33.33% to 66.67%
Plant & equipment 20%
Leasehold improvements 15%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount note 1(i).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

o. Intangible Assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as detailed in note 1(h). Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purposes of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, identified according to operating segments (note 4).

p. Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is initially capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest where the Consolidated Entity has right of tenure. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economicallyrecoverable 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.

Under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of any recognised exploration and evaluation assets may be impaired, the Consolidated Entity must perform impairment tests on those assets and measure any impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. Any impairment loss is to be recognised as an expense. 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.

q. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

r. Employee Benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be

paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service 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 end of the reporting period 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 end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Share-based payments

Shared-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan. Information on these schemes is set out in note 29.

The fair value of options granted under Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

s. 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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

t. Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

u. Earnings per Share

(i) Basic 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.

(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 shares, and
  • the weighted average number of additional shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

v. Goods and Services Tax ("GST") (including Value Added Tax – "VAT")

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of any associated GST (VAT), unless the GST (VAT) incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST (VAT) receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST (VAT) components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

w. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2013 reporting periods. The Consolidated Entity has elected not to early adopt any Standards or Interpretations. The Consolidated Entity's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

AASB 2011-4 'Amendments to AustralianAccounting Standards to Remove Individual KeyManagement Personnel DisclosureRequirements' 1 July 2013 30 June 2014

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

x. Parent Entity Financial Information

The financial information for the parent entity, Strike Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 30 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements.

2. Financial Risk Management

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Consolidated Entity's financial instruments mainly consist of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable and loans to related parties. The main risks arising from the Consolidated Entity's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk, equity price risk and liquidity risk.

The Board of Directors' is responsible for the overall internal control framework (which includes risk management) but no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The system is based, in part, on the appointment of suitably-qualified management personnel in conjunction with a range of policies and procedures, which incorporate monitoring and reporting mechanisms, to assist in the management of the various risks to which the business is exposed. The effectiveness of the system is continually reviewed by management and at least annually by the Board.

The Consolidated Entity holds the following instruments.

a. Market Risk

i. Foreign Exchange Risk

The Consolidated Entity operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Peruvian Nuevo Soles and Canadian dollar.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The Consolidated Entity has a policy of not hedging foreign exchange risk and therefore has not entered into any hedging against movements in foreign currencies against the Australian dollar, including forward exchange contracts, as at the reporting date and is currently fully exposed to foreign exchange risk.

The Consolidated Entity's exposure to foreign exchange risk expressed in Australian dollar at the reporting date was as follows:

Sensitivity

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to exchange risk. The management assessment is based upon an analysis of current and future market position. The analysis demonstrates the effect on the current-year results and equity when the Australian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (2012: 10%) against the foreign currencies detailed above, with all the other variables held constant.

ii. Price Risk

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Consolidated Entity and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through profit or loss. The Consolidated Entity is not exposed to commodity price risk.

At the share investment portfolio level, the Consolidated Entity is not overly exposed (by majority of its net assets) to one company or one particular industry sector of the market.

The table below summaries the impact of increases/decreases of the equity index on the Consolidated Entity's post-tax profit for the year. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index has increased by 9%/decreased by 6% with all other variables held constant.

decrease by 6% (4,118) (6,862) - -

iii. Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Consolidated Entity's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to investments held in interest-bearing cash deposits.

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to interest rate risk at the reporting date. The management assessment is based upon an analysis of current and future market conditions, in particular comments from the Reserve Bank of Australia on the likely movement of interest rates. The analysis demonstrates the potential effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty under a financial instrument will default (in whole or in part) on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by undertaking appropriate due diligence on potential investments, carrying out all market transactions through approved brokers, settling non-market transactions with the involvement of suitably qualified legal and accounting personnel (both internal and external), and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security (where appropriate) as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

2. Financial Risk Management (continued)

Pursuant to the Cuervo Investment Agreement, the Company holds a pledge over the shares of Minera Cuervo S.A.C., which pledge is exercisable if Cuervo defaults under the Investment Agreement.

The credit quality of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired and can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available with Standard & Poor's) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

The Consolidated Entity measures credit risk on a fair-value basis. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provision for losses, represents the Consolidated Entity's maximum exposure to credit risk.

All receivables noted above, except interest on term deposits, are due within 30 days. None of the above receivables are past due.

c. Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities to meet obligations when due and to close out the market positions. At the end of the reporting period the Consolidated Entity held deposits of $12,436,381 (2012: $18,236,381) that mature within the next 3 months after 30 June 2013 that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

The financial liabilities disclosed have the following maturity obligation:

d. Net Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying amounts of financial instruments recorded in the financial statements represent their fair value determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 3. The aggregate fair value and carrying amount of financial assets at the reporting date are set out in Notes 9 and 10. The carrying amount of the financial liabilities at the reporting date as set out in Note 14 approximates the current fair value.

2. Financial Risk Management (continued)

e. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

The fair value of financial instruments must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • (a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);
  • (b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).The following table presents the Consolidated Entity's financial instruments measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

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

a. Impairment of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including the Consolidated Entity's ability to develop the relevant area of interest itself or, if not, whether it can successfully recover the capitalised exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the grade and quantity of mineral resources, future technological changes which impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations), changes to commodity prices, right of tenure and community approvals or access.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)

b. Share-based Payment Transactions

The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted, and applying an estimated probability that they will vest. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, with the assumptions detailed in Note 29. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equitysettled, share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

c. Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly-traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price and the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques such as Binomial pricing model. The Consolidated Entity may use a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

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 Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments.

Information about the Consolidated Entity's exposure to market and price risk is provided in Note 2(a).

11. Investments Accounted for using the Equity Method

Apurimac Ferrum S.A. ("AF") is a company incorporated and domiciled in Peru, South America.

In the financial year ended 30 June 2012, the Group's shareholding in AF decreased from 56% as at 30 June 2011 to 50% on 22 June 2012. Due to the operation of a series of agreements between the AF shareholders executed between 21 July and 5 August 2009 Strike was not deemed to control AF pursuant to AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and therefore did not consolidate the accounts of AF.

On 28 December 2012, the Group obtained control of AF, by acquiring the remaining 50% shares (13,126,085 shares) from its existing shareholders, increasing the Group's equity interest in AF from 50% to 100%. As a result, AF was accounted for as an acquisition of subsidiary – refer to note 22.

Summarised financial information of associate entity:

The Consolidated Entity's share of the results of its associate and its' aggregate assets and liabilities are as follows:

Capital risk management

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

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure the Consolidated Entity may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Consolidated Entity's non-cash investments can be realised to meet accounts payable arising in the normal course of business.

Equity-based Remuneration

On 18 June 2013 the Company granted 3,000,000 unlisted Director Options with an exercise price of $0.30, vesting immediately. The expiry date of these options is 17 June 2018.

The fair value of these options are expensed over the period from their date of grant to each respective vesting date. The fair value is calculated using a Black-Scholes options valuation model with an assumed volatility rate of 85% for the underlying SRK shares (Note 29).

20. Contingent Assets and Liabilities

a. Native Title

The Consolidated Entity's tenements in Australia may be subject to native title applications in the future. At this stage it is not possible to quantify the impact (if any) that native title may have on the operations of the Consolidated Entity.

b. Government Royalties

The Consolidated Entity is liable to pay royalties on production obtained from its mineral tenements/concessions. For example, the applicable Government royalties in Peru are between 1% to 3% based on the value of production. At this stage it is not possible to quantify the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity under Government royalties

c. Directors' Deeds

The Consolidated Entity has entered into deeds of indemnity with certain Strike Resources Limited Directors, indemnifying them against liability incurred in discharging their duties as Directors/officers of the Consolidated Entity. As at the reporting date, no claims have been made under any such indemnities and, accordingly, it is not possible to quantify the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity under these indemnities.

d. Millenium Legal Dispute

Millenium Trading S.A.C ("Milenium") has the right to conduct a small-scale mining operation on an AF concession, the identity of which is to be agreed. A mining operation of this kind by Millenium will not materially affect AF's development plans. As the parties have been unable to agree on the identity of the concession, AF referred the matter to arbitration.

After Millenium questioned several arbitrators as a stalling tactic, the Lima Chamber of Commerce ("LCC") has now appointed Mr. Enrique Palacios who –despite being also challenged by Millenium was ratified in a final decision dated August 12 2013 by the Superior Counsel for Arbitration of the LCC.

The arbitrator has since taken charge of the proceedings. AF is unlikely to have any liability arising out of these proceedings.

e. Deferred Consideration to D&C

D&C Group receives the following deferred payments if certain milestones are achieved:

  • a. US$2 million on Apurimac Ferrum defining a JORC Resource at the Apurimac project of 500 Mt of iron ore with an average grade of at least 55% iron (Fe) or 275 Mt of contained iron at an average grade of 52.5% Fe or above.
  • b. US$3 million on Apurimac Ferrum S.A achieving environmental and community approvals for the construction of an iron ore mine and associated infrastructure with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product.
  • c. US$5 million on formal Apurimac Ferrum Board approval to commence construction of an iron ore project, or the commencement of bulk earthworks for an iron ore processing plant, with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product (Construction Milestone).

Under the terms of Shootout Settlement Agreement, Apurimac Ferrum S.A will also pay D&C Group the following royalties:

  • 1.5% of the net profits from sales of iron ore.
  • 2% of the proceeds of sales of other metals (on a net smelter return basis).

Or Apurimac Ferrum S.A may extinguish the royalties by paying D&C Group any one of the following amounts (Extinguishment Payment):

  • US$13 million within 2 years from 20 December 2012, or
  • US$15 million between 2 and 3 years from 20 December 2012, or
  • US$20 million between 3 and 4 years from 20 December 2012, or
  • US$30 million after 4 years from today but before the Construction Milestone occurs or the 15th anniversary of the agreement (whichever is sooner).

Due to the inherent uncertainty surrounding the achievement and timing of the above milestones, as at 30 June 2013 the Company treated the deferred consideration as a contingent liability.

21. Commitments

a. Lease Commitments

Consolidated Entity
2013 2012
Non-cancellable operating lease commitments:
not longer than one year 165,215 160,638
between 2 years and 5 years 241,840 236,388
407,055 397,026

The Consolidated Entity leases an office in Perth, Australia under a non-cancellable operating lease with an expiry date between 2 and 4 years.

The lease rent is subject to a fixed 4.5% increase on each anniversary of the term. Strike is required to pay the annual outgoings incurred by the lessor in respect of the premises. This figure varies on an annual basis.

b. Mineral Tenement/Concession/Mining Rights - Commitments for Expenditure

Australian tenements

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the holders of Australian mineral tenements are required to outlay lease rentals and meet minimum expenditure commitments. The Company does not currently have any material commitments for expenditure relating to Australian tenements.

Peruvian concessions

The Consolidated Entity is required to pay annual licence fees by 30 June of each year, at rates which vary on an amount per-hectare basis. The total amount of this commitment will depend upon the area of concessions relinquished (if any) and the area of new concessions granted (if any) and therefore cannot be reliably estimated. As a result of finalising the arbitration process with the shareholders of Apurimac Ferrum S.A.("AF"), the Consolidated Entity granted on option over Peruvian tenements held by its subsidiary, Strike Resources Peru S.A.C. Under the terms of the AF Settlement Agreement AF is obliged to make all necessary payments to keep the concessions in good standing. Financial commitments for subsequent periods are contingent upon the continuity of the agreement with AF, future exploration and evaluation results, and as such cannot be reliably estimated.

Australian heritage protection agreements

These agreements facilitate the preservation of Aboriginal heritage through the protection of Aboriginal sites and objects upon the grant of mining tenements in Western Australia. The Heritage Protection Agreements require the Consolidated Entity to conduct Aboriginal heritage surveys prior to conducting exploration that is not low-impact in nature and detail procedures to be followed if an Aboriginal site is identified.

Agreements with Peruvian landowners and community groups

The Company notes that holding a mineral concession in Peru does not grant automatic access to the surface land. Notwithstanding an easement procedure is contemplated in Peruvian law, in practice, mining companies have to negotiate and enter into private agreements with landowners/community groups in order to have access to their land for the purposes of conducting mining activities (exploration, evaluation, development and mining). Multiple landowners/community groups are affected by the Consolidated Entity's proposed mining activities on a majority of the Consolidated Entity's Peruvian concessions. To date, approvals have been sought and obtained for drilling on a programme by programme basis.

Obtaining approvals from landowners/community groups can be a complicated and lengthy process. The Consolidated Entity will have to commit funds to community groups and/or landowners to secure land access agreements to develop its Peruvian projects. There can be no guarantees that such approvals will be obtained, or as to the terms upon which they will be obtained. At this stage it is not possible to quantify the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity in this regard.

22. Acquisition of subsidiary

On 28 December 2012, the Group obtained control of Apurimac Ferrum S.A. (AF), an iron ore explorer, by acquiring the remaining 50% shares (13,126,085 shares) from its existing shareholders. As a result, the Group's equity interest in AF increased from 50% to 100%.

The acquisition of AF was assessed by the Board in the current period and it was determined that the acquisition was an asset acquisition, rather than a business combination as the substance and intent of the transaction was for the Group to acquire the exploration and evaluation assets of AF for the purpose of expanding the Group's overall resource base.

The value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition were as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents 209,723
Trade and other receivables 258,568
Land 427,290
Property, plant and equipment 122,500
Exploration and evaluation expenditure 46,052,125
Trade and other payables (1,456,177)
Loans and interests from Strike Resources Limited and Strike Finance Pty Ltd (37,992,172)
Net assets acquired 7,621,857
Acquisition consideration:
Shares issued (2,800,000 shares at $0.12 each), at fair value 336,000
Deferred consideration 6,674,833
Acquisition costs 611,024
Total purchase consideration 7,621,857

Deferred consideration

D&C Group receives the following deferred payments if certain milestones are achieved:

  • a. US$2 million on Apurimac Ferrum defining a JORC Resource at the Apurimac project of 500 Mt of iron ore with an average grade of at least 55% iron (Fe) or 275 Mt of contained iron at an average grade of 52.5% Fe or above.
  • b. US$3 million on Apurimac Ferrum S.A achieving environmental and community approvals for the construction of an iron ore mine and associated infrastructure with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product.
  • c. US$5 million on formal Apurimac Ferrum Board approval to commence construction of an iron ore project, or the commencement of bulk earthworks for an iron ore processing plant, with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product (Construction Milestone).

The Company treated the deferred payments as a contingent liability at 30 June 2013. Refer to note 20.

23. Related-Party Disclosures

a. Subsidiaries

Interests in subsidiaries are set out in Note 24.

During the year $ 4,954,844 (2012: Nil) was loaned to subsidiaries to fund exploration activities.

b. Associates

Apurimac Ferrum S.A. was an associate until 28 December 2012 as set out in Note 11.

Loans to associates - Apurimac Ferrum

On 21 July 2009, through the AF Settlement Agreement, Strike Resources Limited entered into a replacement loan agreement with Apurimac Ferrum S.A.("AF") in which US$20 million may be advanced to AF to undertake exploration on the Apurimac and Cusco Iron Ore projects. This loan is interest bearing (USD Monthly LIBOR rate + 2% per annum) as provided for under the AF Settlement Agreement.

On 16 May 2012, Apurimac Ferrum S.A. entered into the AF Finance Agreement with Strike Finance Pty Ltd for a principal amount US$6m, interest rate is 10% for principal amounts drawn and repaid before 31 December 2012 and 15% for principal amounts repaid after 31 December 2012. The latest repayment date is 31 January 2014.

23. Related-Party Disclosures(continued)

Subsequent to Strike Resources acquiring the remaining 50% of ownership of AF, the intercompany loans between the two entities were extinguished and converted into equity in AF.

25. Events Occurring after the Reporting Period

On 30 July 2013 the Company advised of the increased resources reported at Cuervo Resources Inc's Cerro Ccopane project.

25. Events Occurring after the Reporting Period (continued)

On 15 August 2013, the Company confirmed it had made a confidential non-binding offer to Cuervo Resources Inc. in respect of certain Peruvian iron ore assets including the Cerro Ccopane project. This offer was subsequently rejected by Cuervo.

On 9 September 2013, the Company reached an agreement with local Apurimac community to enable commencement of regulatory approvals for future drilling program. The approval forms part of key next stage in validating Apurimac's high grade magnetite exploration target of at least 500 million tonnes or iron ore.

There have been no further changes of significance since then.

29. Share-Based Payments

The establishment of the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan was approved by shareholders on 6 November 2008. Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share within 5 business days after the exercise. A total of 3,000,000 Employee Options were granted during the year (Note 18). The reasons for the grant of these options to the Managing Director are as follows:

  • (a) The options issue was designed to act as an incentive for the recipient to strive to achieve the Company's goals with the aim of enhancing shareholder value.
  • (b) The options provide an equity holding opportunity for the recipient which is linked to the Company's share price performance.
  • (c) Based on the option exercise price, the exercise of the options by the recipient is potentially only likely to occur if there is sustained upward movement in the Company's share price.
  • (d) The number of options issued to the recipient has been determined having regard to the level of the recipient's salary being paid and is a cash-free, effective and efficient way of providing an appropriate level of remuneration as well as providing ongoing equity-based incentives for the recipients to remain with the Company with a view to improving the future growth of the Company.
  • (e) As a relatively-small company, with much of its available funds dedicated or committed to its resource projects (and also in seeking opportunities in relation to the same), and in financing its day to day working capital requirements, the Company is not always in a position to maintain competitive cash salary ranges for its directors and employees within the industry in which it operates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Strike Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 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 of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

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 gives a true and fair view and 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 company'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 company'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 Strike Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

    • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
