HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2013

Vulcan Project (EL 4322)

  • In August 2012 Tasman announced that the conditional Joint Venture/Farm-in Agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) had become unconditional, and drilling under the Tasman/RTX Agreement commenced.

  • During the year a total of seven diamond drill holes were completed, with a further two expected to be drilled before December 2013. Due to drill site access issues, the completion of this initial drilling program was delayed, and to accommodate this delay, Tasman and RTX have agreed to extend the latest completion date for the initial 12,000 metre drilling programme currently being undertaken pursuant to the Joint Venture/ Farm In Agreement, until 31 January 2014. Drilling resumed in early September 2013.

  • All seven holes completed during the year intersected variable strength iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium (IOCGU*) style alteration and mineralisation. Although no zones of strong mineralisation were intersected, low grade IOCGU mineralisation was intersected in a number of drill holes.

  • The most encouraging result was obtained for drill hole VUD 15, which intersected (down hole) 145m at 0.49% Cu and 0.26g/t Au from 1191m, including 52m at 0.87% Cu and 0.46g/t Au.

(*IOCGU Iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium)

Lake Torrens Outlying Tenements

  • The sale of five Exploration Licences and one Exploration Licence Application to BHP Billiton mentioned in the 2012 Tasman Annual Report did not proceed.

Other Prospects

  • No further drilling was conducted during the year at Lucas Hill prospect on the Stuart Shelf, approximately 25km south east of Woomera. Alteration and weak copper mineralisation were intersected in the initial two holes completed by Tasman early in 2012.

  • No further exploration was conducted at Tasman’s epithermal gold-silver prospect at Parkinson Dam.

  • Tasman has a 19% interest in Conico Ltd (formerly Fission Energy Ltd). Conico owns 50% of the Mt Thirsty nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide deposit in Western Australia.

  • Tasman has a 47.9% interest in alternative energy company Eden Energy Ltd, which is involved in production, development and marketing of hydrogen-based fuels and interests in coal seam gas, conventional hydrocarbons and the innovative production of carbon nanotubes. As Tasman effectively has control of Eden at 47.9%, Eden is now deemed a subsidiary of Tasman and included in the consolidated accounts of Tasman.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Company has Exploration Licences located in South Australia covering a range of commodities – copper, gold, silver and uranium, for which the company’s tenements are considered prospective.

Tasman Resources Ltd holds a 100% interest in the following exploration projects:

  • The Lake Torrens IOCGU Project comprising Exploration Licences 4206, 4300, 4322, 4405 and EL 4857.

  • The Lucas Hill IOCGU Project, consisting of EL 4770.

  • The Parkinson Dam Epithermal Gold - Silver Project (EL 4475).

  • The Central Gawler Gold Project (EL 4868, and 5151).

EXPLORATION RESULTS

During the year, the Company spent $3.5 million on various exploration activities. Details of the results of the exploration are outlined below.

Lake Torrens Iron-oxide, Copper-Gold Uranium (IOCGU) Project (100% Tasman)

Vulcan Project

In August 2012 Tasman announced that the conditional Joint Venture/Farm-in Agreement covering EL 4322 (Figure 1) with Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) had become unconditional, and drilling under the Tasman/RTX Agreement commenced in September 2012. As previously announced, the terms of the Agreement include the payment to Tasman of an initial $10million, with Tasman managing the initial exploration program consisting of 12,000m of drilling.

During the year a total of seven diamond drill holes were completed, with a further two expected to be drilled before December 2013 (Figure 2). Due to drill site access issues, the completion of this initial drilling program under the Tasman/RTX Agreement has been delayed, and to accommodate this delay, Tasman and RTX have agreed to extend the latest completion date for the initial 12,000 metre drilling programme currently being undertaken pursuant to the Joint Venture/ Farm In Agreement, until 31 January 2014.

All seven holes completed during the year intersected variable strength IOCGU - style alteration and mineralisation, although no significant zones of strong mineralisation were intersected.

Drilling Results

Drill holes VUD 9 to VUD 13 were drilled across the northern section of the main southern gravity anomaly at Vulcan as shown in Figure 2.

VUD 9 intersected over 240m (down hole) of hematite breccias, very similar to the hematite breccias which occur within the central, barren core of the Olympic Dam deposit, approximately 30km to the south.

VUD 10 intersected over 398m (down hole) of IOCGU – style altered, veined and brecciated host rocks.

VUD 11 intersected over 620m (down hole) of IOCGU – style highly altered, veined and brecciated rocks.

VUD 12 intersected over 500m (down hole) of IOCGU – style highly altered, veined and brecciated rocks.

VUD 13 was aimed at testing beneath the hematite breccias intersected in VUD 9, and intersected altered, veined and brecciated host rocks.

These five holes intersected zones of generally weak IOCGU mineralisation; details are contained within Announcements and Quarterly Reports released by Tasman during the year.

VUD 14 was aimed at testing the north-eastern “limb’ of the gravity anomaly, following up the thick, mineralised hematite-rich breccias hit earlier in VUD 7. The hole unfortunately missed the projected target zone, intersecting 573m (down hole) of variably altered and weakly mineralised basement rocks.

VUD 15 was drilled on the northern section of the Vulcan gravity anomaly, aiming to follow up encouraging intersections in drill holes VUD 1, 3 and 8.

VUD 15 intersected the basement rocks of interest at 905m down hole, and then a very thick sequence of strongly IOCGU-style altered and variably mineralised basement rocks over more than 400m down hole, including several intersections of essentially pure hematite breccias, including one over 200m thick down hole. The strongest mineralisation was intersected in the lower part of the drill hole (see Figures 3 and 4), and assays for this zone are summarised in Table 1 below.

The highest grade section of mineralisation is probably remobilised and occurs within the upper portion of a mafic dyke (Figure 5) which was intersected from 1310 to 1343m. Several one metre assays over 4% Cu are included in this interval. Note that the intersections stated are down hole widths only, and at this stage the true widths are not known.

ASX Code: TAS

Tasman Resources Ltd Annual Report for Year Ending 30 June 2013

==> picture [111 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

Assays for the upper part of the hole include 205m down hole from 905m at 0.18% Cu. When combined with assays from the lower part of VUD 15, the average copper grade over 435m down hole from 905m is 0.26% Cu.

Table 1: Summarised assay results for the lower portion of drill hole VUD 15.

Note:

Assays presented above are for down hole intersections, and at this stage the true width of the mineralisation intersected is not known. Most of the assays are from NQ half core diamond saw split samples over one metre intervals, and the remaining assays are from small core segments collected at approximately 25cm intervals, composited over five metre intervals. Average assays for the intervals stated above were calculated by weighting by sample length and sample density.

Samples were crushed and pulverised, and analysed as follows: Au by fire assay using the Genalysis scheme FA25/MS with a 1 ppb detection limit. Cu was analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrography by Genalysis 4A/OE scheme (1ppm detection limit ), and Ag and U3O8 by the Genalysis 4A/MS scheme (0.05ppm and 0.01ppm respectively).

Iron Assays

Following the intersection of very hematite-rich rocks in VUD 15, Tasman re-assayed samples from this hole and others by a more reliable method for determining the iron content. Averaged assays received include 180m down hole at 60% Fe from 1,123m in VUD 15, and 240m down hole at 61% Fe from 840m in VUD 9. Iron in both holes is present dominantly as hematite.

If the Vulcan system was much closer to the surface these very iron-rich intersections would have been of economic interest in their own right. As some of the copper mineralisation intersected in VUD15 is associated with massive hematite there is potential for the high iron content to add further value to any future economic copper intersections at Vulcan.

Note:

For Fe, in addition to half core split sampling and some 25cm composited core segments, some analyses were conducted on composite samples prepared by combining one metre half core pulverised samples over several metres. Average assays for the intervals stated were calculated by weighting by sample length and sample density.

The intersection of mineralised, highly favourable host rocks in VUD 15, coupled with the encouraging results in the nearby drill holes, in particular VUD 3 and 8 has substantially enhanced the prospectivity of this northern section of the Vulcan gravity target.

Continuation of drilling under the Tasman/RTX Agreement was suspended in June 2013, while site access limitations were resolved. To accommodate this delay, Tasman and RTX have agreed to extend the latest completion date for the initial 12,000 metre drilling programme currently being undertaken pursuant to the Joint Venture/ Farm In Agreement, until 31 January 2014. Drilling was resumed in early September, 2013.

Background

Vulcan was discovered by Tasman in November 2009 following the recognition of the following:

  • A large, and previously untested gravity anomaly with associated anomalous magnetic characteristics,

  • A favourable location with respect to certain key tectonic lineaments which had been important in the discovery of Olympic Dam by WMC Resources, and

  • Unusual, previously unexplained reflection patterns in seismic data collected in a Government survey several years earlier.

The discovery drill hole, VUD 1 intersected a thick sequence of IOCGU-style, altered and weakly mineralised basement rocks, including an intersection of 53m down hole at 0.10% Cu, 0.04g/t Au, 0.4g/t Ag and 0.021kg/t U3O8.

Fifteen diamond drill holes have now been completed at Vulcan by Tasman, all exhibiting IOCGU-style alteration and/or mineralisation, including copper, gold, uranium, silver, molybdenum and rare earth elements. Age dating of the mineralisation at about 1590 million years confirms that Vulcan belongs to the same “family” of deposits as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carapateena.

Sale of Lake Torrens Outlying Tenements

The sale of five Exploration Licences and one Exploration Licence Application to BHP Billiton mentioned in the 2012 Tasman Annual Report did not proceed.

Lucas Hill IOCGU Project (100% Tasman)

No further drilling was conducted during the year at Lucas Hill prospect on the Stuart Shelf, approximately 25km south east of Woomera. Alteration and weak copper mineralisation were intersected in the initial two holes completed by Tasman early in 2012.

Parkinson Dam Gold-Silver (-Lead-Zinc) Project (100% Tasman)

Tasman’s 100% owned Parkinson Dam Project is located approximately 60km west of Port Augusta in South Australia. Tasman commenced exploration at Parkinson Dam in mid-2005, discovering previously unknown epithermal gold-silver mineralisation in outcrop.

Following initial phases of RC percussion and diamond drilling, Tasman hit high grade mineralisation in drill hole PD 63 (21m at 21g/t Au and 83g/t Ag, including 9m down hole at 31g/t Au and 152g/t Ag), but subsequent drilling was unable to repeat the grade or width of this intersection. Further targets for drill testing have been identified within the Project, but no further drilling was completed during the year due to higher priority work at Vulcan.

Central Gawler Gold-Nickel Project (100% Tasman)

No further work was conducted by Tasman on these tenements during the year.

INVESTMENTS

Investment in Conico Ltd (formerly Fission Energy Ltd). (Tasman has a 18.9% interest in Conico)

Mt Thirsty Oxide Deposit

Concio owns 50% of the Mt Thirsty Nickel-Cobalt Project in WA, with the other 50% held by Barra Resources Limited (ASX: BAR).

Mt Thirsty has a current JORC compliant Indicated Resource of 16.6 million tonnes at 0.14% Co, 0.60% Ni and 0.98% Mn and a JORC compliant Inferred Resource of 15.3 million tonnes at 0.11% Co, 0.51% Ni and 0.73% Mn over an apparent strike of 1.3 kilometres and a width of around 800 metres.

Investment in Eden Energy Ltd (Tasman has a 48.4% interest in Eden Energy) Optiblend[TM] Duel Fuel Technology

Eden has completed the development of an efficient dual fuel kit that is capable of operating on diesel engines and displacing up to 70% of the diesel fuel with natural gas. If Hythane™ fuel (hydrogen enriched natural gas) is used in place of natural gas, the displacement of diesel fuel could be as high as 80%. The use of the natural gas will greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, in places where natural gas is cheaper than diesel, will also reduce fuel costs. In various parts of the world, available natural gas is significantly cheaper than diesel fuel, and accordingly Eden has been targeting a diversified market for this technology, starting with stationary power generators and then potentially targeting locomotives.

During the year, Hythane Company (a 100% subsidiary of Eden) received orders in the USA for a total of twenty six OptiBlend[TM] systems, having an aggregate value of US$770,000. These 2012-13 orders represent 71% of the aggregate value to date of all Optiblend[TM] sales in the US since the initial order in November 2009 to 30 June 2013, and 65% of the total number of OptiBlend[TM] systems sold in the US to 30 June 2013.

Nano-Carbon / Hydrogen Pyrolysis Project

Through this technology which is 100% owned by Eden, methane (natural gas) is broken down into its atomic constituents of hydrogen gas and solid carbon, without the production of carbon dioxide. The solid carbon is produced as carbon nanofibres and carbon nanotubes that have a tensile strength of up to several hundred times greater than that of steel.

During the year a new development agreement with the University of Queensland (“UQ”) was negotiated for the joint development of a methodology for the mixing of carbon nanotubes / carbon nanofibres in polymers and plastics with the aim of producing high strength composites suitable for use in car bodies for the automobile industry. Preliminary encouraging results have been received for adding carbon nanotubes into polypropylene. Further, during the year Eden in collaboration with the chemical engineering department of the UQ, was awarded a $255,000 grant by the Australian Research Council (“ARC”) in the recent round of competitive ARC grants, to fund research into development of a methods for production of super high strength, low weight carbon nanotube (“CNT”) reinforced polymer composites for potential automotive and aerospace applications.

Eden also signed a Research Agreement with Monash University (“Monash”) during the year for development of high strength carbon nanotubes enriched concrete for high rise building applications.

UK unconventional / conventional gas project

Eden and its UK joint venture partner hold 17 Petroleum Exploration and Development Licences (PEDLs) in South Wales, Bristol/Somerset and Kent, in which Eden holds a 50% interest. These are prospective coal bed methane, shale gas and/or natural gas. In addition Eden has a 100% interest in 1 PEDL in South Wales, giving a total area covered by all 18 PEDLs of ~ approximately 1,900 square kilometres (approximately 470,000 acres) and taking in very large portions of the coal fields and surrounding basins in these three areas of the UK.

During the year Eden sought to progress its UK unconventional gas investment though securing either a suitable corporate merger with its current joint venture partner or through a sale of its UK gas interests to a suitable third party in which Eden held a significant shareholding. A conditional agreement to sell these assets for more than £10million was entered into in May 2013 with a third party, unfortunately this agreement was terminated by Eden in August 2013 due the purchaser’s failure to satisfy all the conditions precedent. In September 2013 Eden signed a Conditional Reinstatement Agreement with Shale Energy Plc for the sale of Adamo Energy (UK) Ltd for a possible value of £11 million (~$19.3 million), on more improved terms than the conditional sale agreement entered into in May 2013.

The interpretations and conclusions reached in this report are based on current geological theory and the best evidence available to the authors at the time of writing. It is the nature of all scientific conclusions that they are founded on an assessment of probabilities and, however high these probabilities might be, they make no claim for complete certainty. Any economic decisions that might be taken on the basis of interpretations or conclusions contained in this report will therefore carry an element of risk.

The information in this annual report, insofar as it relates to Mineral Exploration activities, is based on information compiled by Robert N. Smith and Michael J. Glasson, who are members of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, and who have more than five years experience in the field of activity being reported on. Mr Smith and Mr Glasson are full-time employees of the company. Mr Smith and Mr Glasson have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Smith and Mr Glasson consent to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.

  • It should not be assumed that the reported Exploration Results will result, with further exploration, in the definition of a Mineral Resource

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors

The Company’s constitution provides that the number of directors shall not be less than three and not more than ten. There is no requirement for any share holding qualification.

As and if the Company’s activities increase in size, nature and scope the size of the board will be reviewed periodically, and as circumstances demand.

The membership of the board, its activities and composition, is subject to periodic review. The criteria for determining the identification and appointment of a suitable candidate for the board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement, compatibility with other board members, credibility within the Company’s scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to board’s duties and physical ability to undertake board’s duties and responsibilities.

Directors are initially appointed by the full board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the Company’s constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her last appointment. Subject to the requirements of the Corporation Act 2001, the board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into, may revoke the appointment.

The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate or special committees at this time. The board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the full scope of the Company’s activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards.

Role of the Board

The Board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value.

To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for oversight of management and the overall corporate governance statement of the Company including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.

Appointments to Other Boards

Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards.

Independent Professional Advice

The Board has determined that individual directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as directors, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. With the exception of expenses for legal advice in relation to director’s rights and duties, the engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably.

Continuous Review of Corporate Governance

Directors consider, on an ongoing basis, how management information is presented to them and whether such information is sufficient to enable them to discharge their duties as directors of the Company. Such information must be sufficient to enable the directors to determine appropriate operating and financial strategies from time to time in light of changing circumstances and economic conditions. The directors recognise that mineral exploration is an inherently risky business and that operational strategies adopted should, notwithstanding, be directed towards improving or maintaining the net worth of the Company.

ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance

The board has reviewed its current practices in light of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Guidelines with a view to making amendments where applicable after considering the Company’s size and the resources it has available.

As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the board and the implementation of any additional formal corporate governance committees will be given further consideration.

The following table sets out the Company’s present position with regard to adoption of these Principles.

arrangements are in place for adequately managing these
risks. This issue is regularly reviewed at board meetings
and risk management culture is encouraged amongst

The Executive Chairman and the Chief Financial Officer
make this assurance to the board.
7.4 Provide information indicated in Guide to
Reporting on Principle 7.

per annum to be paid to non-executive directors, to be
allocated at the discretion of the directors. Any changes to
the annual amount must be approved at a General Meeting

8.2 The remuneration committee should be
structured so that it:

consists of a majority of independent
directors

See 8.1
8.3 Companies should clearly distinguish the
structure of non-executive directors
remuneration from that of executives.

indicated in ASX Guide to Reporting on
Principle 8.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Tasman Resources Ltd, and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Tasman Resources Ltd has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific longterm incentives based on key performance areas affecting the economic entity’s financial results. The board of Tasman Resources Ltd believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the economic entity is as follows:

  • All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and options.

All directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution where required by the government, which is currently 9.25%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Any shares which may be issued to executives would be valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. The Group does not have a policy on directors hedging their shares.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Performance based Remuneration

No performance based remuneration was paid during the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial report of Tasman Resources Limited and controlled entities complies with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board in their entirety.

The financial report covers the consolidated group of Tasman Resources Ltd and controlled entities as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013. Tasman Resources Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Group is a for-profit entity and primarily is involved in mineral exploration in South Australia and clean energy technology through its subsidiary Eden Energy Ltd.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Tasman Resources Ltd’s and Eden Energy Ltd’s functional currency. The functional currencies of Eden Energy Ltd’s subsidiaries are USD, GBP and INR.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity Tasman Resources Ltd has the power to control its financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 17 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent.

Non-controlling interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

b. Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised.

Tasman Resources Ltd and Noble Energy Pty Ltd, its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2005. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

c. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

d. Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Plant and equipment 15–50%

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

e. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

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

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

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

f. Assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered through sale rather than continuing use.

Immediately before classification as held-for-sale, the assets are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-forsale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

g. Intangibles

Research and development

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

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property, which includes trademarks and engineering knowledge, is included in the financial statements at cost, being their fair value on acquisition.

Intellectual property and trademarks are only amortised or written down where the useful lives are limited or impaired by specific circumstances, in such cases amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their useful lives and write downs are charged fully when incurred. The directors have assessed the useful life of the intellectual property and have determined that it has a finite useful life. The intellectual property will be amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project. The directors have assessed the useful life of the Optiblend[TM] technology as being 10 years.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • h. Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Derivative Assets

The Group holds derivative financial assets issued from its associate, Conico Ltd, in the form of unlisted options. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are remeasured as fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

  • i. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed of. Intercompany loans are treated as investments for foreign currency translation purposes.

j. Impairment of Assets

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

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

k. Investments in Associates

  • Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognises the group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.

  • l. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

Equity-settled compensation

The Group operates a number of share-based compensation plans. These include both a share option arrangement and an employee share scheme. The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the income statement. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted.

m. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

  • n. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts.

  • o. Revenue

  • Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

  • Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

p. Comparative Figures

  • When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

  • q. Interest in joint operations

  • The consolidated financial statements include the assets that the Group controls and the liabilities that it incurs in the course of pursuing the joint operation and the expenses that the Group incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the joint operation.

  • r. New accounting standards and interpretations

Presentation of transactions recognised in other comprehensive income

From 1 July 2012, the Group applied amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements outlined in AASB 2011-9 . The change in accounting policy only relates to disclosures and has had no impact on consolidated loss per share or net loss. The changes have been applied retrospectively and require the Group to separately present those items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss. These changes are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

s. Segment reporting

Segment results that are reported to the Group’s board of directors (the chief operating decision maker) include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

t. Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.

  • u. New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

  • These standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 with early adoption permitted and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The adoption of these standards is expected to have no impact on the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • p. Key estimates The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.

Key Estimates – Exploration and evaluation

The Group’s policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in Note 1(e). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. At the date of this report the Group has sufficient reason to believe:

  • rights to explore in specific areas, once expired, will be renewed;

  • substantive expenditure on further exploration and evaluation in specific areas has been budgeted;

  • exploration in specific areas is ongoing and the Group has not decided to discontinue such activities; and

  • no specific sufficient data exists that indicates that the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered.

Key Estimates — Impairment

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

  • Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections.

  • Costs have been based on historical amounts adjusted for CPI increase.

  • A 30% discount rate was utilised to recognise inherent risk in the forecasts.

There is a significant risk of actual outcomes being different from those forecasted due to changes in economic or market conditions and events.

Key Estimates — Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity settled transactions with suppliers by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments as at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model. Refer to Note 31 for the inputs to the Black-Scholes model.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 September 2013 by the board of directors.

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

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

NOTE 32: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

The directors have become aware of a potential contingent liability arising from the treatment of Value Added Tax (“VAT”) on certain UK transactions. At the date of this report the Company has been advised that the probability of a liability arising was unlikely.

The Group was owed an Aptus 100 reformer from the sale of HyRadix Inc in 2009. Subsequent to the end of the year Eden relinquished its rights in relation to this claim as part of the settlement with Engenco Ltd.

The Directors are not aware of any other contingent assets or contingent liabilities at 30 June 2013.

NOTE 33: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Financial Risk Management

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts payable.

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations.

i. Liquidity Risk

Responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring cash flows.

The remaining contractual maturities of the Group and Parent entity’s financial liabilities are:

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

b. Financial Instruments

i. Price Sensitivity Analysis

At 30 June 2013, the effect on equity as a result of changes in the price risk, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows

Increase in market value of available-for-sale financial assets at fair value by 10% - 49,047
Decrease in market value of available-for-sale financial assets at fair value by 10% - (49,047)

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Tasman Resources Ltd Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Tasman Resources Ltd, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, and 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 ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes 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.

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, we consider internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. 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 .
