Overview of the Company
The net loss of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 amounted to \$334,263 (2012: loss \$91,609).
History, Review of Operations and Subsequent Events
Prior to going into administration, the Company held a 90% interest in the Windimurra Vanadium Mine ("Windimurra Mine"), located some 600km to the north east of Perth and 80km east south east of the town of Mt Magnet in Western Australia. The Windimurra Vanadium Mine hosted one of the largest proven reserves of vanadium reported anywhere in the world.
Administration
On 18 February 2009, the Company advised the ASX that Martin Jones, Darren Weaver and Andrew Saker were appointed as Joint and Several Administrators to its 90% owned subsidiary MidWest Vanadium Pty Ltd. Furthermore, Messrs Martin Madden and Brian McMaster both of KordaMentha , were appointed as Joint and Several Receivers and Managers over the shares the Company owned in its 90% owned subsidiary, MidWest Vanadium Pty Ltd and over all the assets and undertaking of MidWest Vanadium Pty Ltd itself. The securities of the Company were suspended from official quotation on the official list of the ASX on 11 February 2009.
On 3 March 2009, a meeting of the Company's Creditors was convened pursuant to Section 439A of the Corporations Act 2001 to consider, amongst other matters, the execution of a Deed of Company Arrangement to reconstruct and recapitalise the Company.
On 9 December 2009, at a reconvened Creditors meeting, Creditors resolved that the Company enter into a Deed of Company Arrangement ("the original DOCA"). On 31 December 2009 the Company and the Administrators executed the original DOCA and the Administrators became the Deed Administrators of the original DOCA.
Windimurra Vanadium Limited Directors' report (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2013
History, Review of Operations and Subsequent Events (continued)
In or about March 2010, Trident Capital Pty Ltd made a proposal to reconstruct and recapitalise the Company ("Recapitalisation Proposal").
Pursuant to a resolution at a meeting of the Creditors on 6 May 2010 to consider the variation or termination of the original DOCA in light of Trident Capital Pty Ltd's proposal, the creditors resolved that the Company vary the original DOCA. On 27 May 2010, the Company and the Administrators executed the revised Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCA") to vary and supersede the original DOCA and the Administrators became the administrators of the DOCA.
The principal features of the Recapitalisation Proposal were as follows:
- Capital Consolidation The Company's securities being consolidated on a 1:8 basis;
- Reduction of Capital The capital of the Company being reduced by applying a portion of the accumulated losses of the Company (determined to be \$220,399,903) against the share capital of the Company which is considered permanently lost;
- Issue of Shares to Strategic Investors The issue of 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) for nil consideration to Strategic Investors;
- Conversion of Convertible Notes The issue of 100,000,000 new shares arising on the conversion of the convertible notes issued by the Company in consideration for \$500,000, with a conversion rate of 1 share for every \$0.005 of the note amounts (post consolidation);
- Issue of Shares under Prospectus The issue of not less than 200,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) by means of a public offer at one cent per share to raise not less than \$2,000,000 under a prospectus.
- Appointment of Directors Appointment of new directors and secretary;
- Right for Directors to apply for Shares The right of the directors to participate in the public issue;
- Payment to the Claimant Group The payment of \$300,000 to the Badimia Native Title Claimant Group in exchange for the documentation required to obtain the grant of the mining lease M58/272 in accordance with the Deferred Mining Agreement;
- Payments to the Deed Administrator In accordance with the DOCA, transfer of the proceeds from liquidation of the Company's assets and the amount of \$480,000 from the capital raisings to the Deed Administrators to be applied to the trust fund;
- Forgiveness of Claims The release of all existing claims against the Company with creditors' claims to be satisfied from the Creditors' trust fund in accordance with the terms of the DOCA and the Creditors Trust Deed.
On 26 February 2013, the terms of the Recapitalisation Proposal which were subject to shareholder approval, was tabled and the resolutions passed at a general meeting of shareholders.
The reduction of capital took effect on 26 February 2013. On 12 March 2013, the Company's securities were consolidated on a 1:8 basis, resulting in a reduction of the number of shares on issue from 154,278,674 to 19,284,366 fully paid ordinary shares.
Due to unforeseen costs and circumstances, the Company determined that it is necessary to increase the amount to be raised under the prospectus to \$2,500,000 to ensure that it has sufficient cash reserves to satisfy ASX's conditions to reinstatement. Accordingly, an additional general meeting of shareholders was held on 14 August 2013 with the following resolutions approved by shareholders:
- The issue of 100,000,000 new shares arising on the conversion of the convertible notes issued by the Company in consideration for \$500,000 raised from related and non-related parties including Trident Capital Pty Ltd, with a conversion rate of 1 share for every \$0.005 of the note amounts (post consolidation);
- The issue of up to 250,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) by means of a public offer at one cent per share to raise up to \$2,500,000 under a prospectus;
- The right of the Directors to participate in the public offer under the prospectus;
- The issue of 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) for nil consideration to Strategic Investors.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
History, Review of Operations and Subsequent Events (continued)
Officers
On 30 July 2012, Messrs. Paul Price, KC Ong and Ms Paula Cowan were appointed as Directors of the Company. Ms Paige Exley was appointed as Company Secretary.
On 7 November 2012, Ms Paige Exley resigned as Company Secretary of the Company and Ms Nicki Farley was appointed.
8. Dividends
No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company to members during the 2013 or 2012 financial years.
9. Going Concern
Notwithstanding the Company being in administration, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company is a going concern. In forming this opinion, the Directors have taken into account the above matters as well as that:
-
- The Company has successfully issued convertible notes raising \$500,000. The convertible notes were issued in two tranches:
- Tranche 1 (providing \$150,000) was issued in July 2012; and
- Tranche 2 (providing \$350,000) was issued in December 2012.
All cash relating to these convertible notes was received prior to the date of issue of this annual report.
-
- If the prospectus for the proposed capital raising and issue of up to 250,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) by means of a public offer at one cent per share to raise up to \$2,500,000 is fully subscribed, then the Company will receive \$2,500,000 before costs of issue. The Directors expect that this amount will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay the costs of the Recapitalisation Proposal, make payments for the benefit of Creditors under the DOCA, pay the Badimia Native Title Claimant Group pursuant to the Deferred Mining Agreement, fund the costs of reviewing and evaluating the Company's Mining Lease M58/272 and provide additional working capital.
-
- The Directors are confident that the Company will be released and discharged of all claims (liabilities) by Creditors through satisfaction of the outstanding conditions of the DOCA, specifically the payment by the Company to the Deed Administrators of \$480,000 from the proceeds of issuing shares under the Prospectus.
In the event that the above initiatives are unsuccessful, in particular the outstanding conditions of the DOCA and the Company's reinstatement with the ASX, there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore the Company may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amount and classification of assets or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
10. Future developments
In accordance with the terms of the DOCA, the Company is currently preparing a prospectus for the issue of 250,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares by means of a public offer at one cent per share to raise \$2,500,000.
Funds raised under the prospectus will initially be used to pay the costs of the Recapitalisation Proposal, make payments for the benefit of creditors under the DOCA and pay the Badimia Native Title Claimant Group pursuant to the Deferred Mining Agreement.
Once completed, the Company will seek reinstatement to the Official List of the ASX.
Upon reinstatement to the ASX, the Company will seek to attract a suitable management team to explore and potentially develop the Tenement, Western Australian Mining Lease M58/272. The management team will also investigate the value of the Tenement, particularly in light of Atlantic Ltd's commissioning a vanadium mine adjacent to the Tenement in late 2011 (Atlantic Mine).
In addition to exploring and evaluating the potential of the tenement, once reinstated the Company will also actively pursue new projects in line with its operational history by way of acquisition and/or investment.
11. Directors' interests
There were no relevant interests of each director to be disclosed as there were no shares or options issued to Directors during the reporting period and at the date of this report.
12. Share options

No options were granted during or since the end of the financial year as the Company went into administration on 18 February 2009.

The annual financial report has been prepared on the historical cost basis. The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 4.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.
(d) Going concern
The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
On 11 February 2009, the securities of the Company were suspended from official quotation on the Official List of the ASX and on 18 February 2009, Martin Jones, Darren Weaver and Andrew Saker were appointed as administrators of the Company. In addition, Martin Madden and Brian McMaster of Korda Mentha were appointed Joint and Several Receivers ("the Receivers") over the shares the Company held in its 90% owned subsidiary, MidWest Vanadium Pty Ltd ("MidWest") and over all the assets and undertakings of MidWest.
On 3 March 2009, a meeting of the Company's Creditors was convened pursuant to Section 439A of the Corporations Act 2001 to consider, amongst other matters, the execution of a Deed of Company Arrangement to reconstruct and recapitalise the Company.
On 9 December 2009, at a reconvened Creditors meeting, Creditors resolved that the Company enter into a Deed of Company Arrangement ("the original DOCA"). On 31 December 2009 the Company and the Administrators executed the original DOCA and the Administrators became the Deed Administrators of the original DOCA.
In or about March 2010, Trident Capital Pty Ltd made a proposal to reconstruct and recapitalise the Company ("Recapitalisation Proposal").
Pursuant to a resolution at a meeting of the Creditors on 6 May 2010 to consider the variation or termination of the original DOCA in light of Trident Capital Pty Ltd's proposal, the creditors resolved that the Company vary the original DOCA. On 27 May 2010, the Company and the Administrators executed the revised Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCA") to vary and supersede the Original DOCA and the Administrators became the administrators of the DOCA.
The principal features of the Recapitalisation Proposal were as follows:
- Capital Consolidation The Company's securities being consolidated on a 1:8 basis;
- Reduction of Capital The capital of the Company being reduced by applying a portion of the accumulated losses of the Company (determined to be \$220,399,903) against the share capital of the Company which is considered permanently lost;
For the year ended 30 June 2013
(d) Going concern (continued)
- Issue of Shares to Strategic Investors The issue of 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) for nil consideration to Strategic Investors;
- Conversion of Convertible Notes The issue of 100,000,000 new shares arising on the conversion of the convertible notes issued by the Company in consideration for \$500,000, with a conversion rate of 1 share for every \$0.005 of the note amounts (post consolidation);
- Issue of Shares under Prospectus The issue of not less than 200,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) by means of a public offer at one cent per share to raise not less than \$2,000,000 under a prospectus.
- Appointment of Directors Appointment of new directors and secretary;
- Right for Directors to apply for Shares The right of the directors to participate in the public issue;
- Payment to the Claimant Group The payment of \$300,000 to the Badimia Native Title Claimant Group in exchange for the documentation required to obtain the grant of the mining lease M58/272 in accordance with the Deferred Mining Agreement;
- Payments to the Deed Administrator In accordance with the DOCA, transfer of the proceeds from liquidation of the Company's assets and the amount of \$480,000 from the capital raisings to the Deed Administrators to be applied to the trust fund;
- Forgiveness of Claims The release of all existing claims against the Company with Creditors' claims to be satisfied from the Creditors' trust fund in accordance with the terms of the DOCA and the Creditors Trust Deed.
On 26 February 2013, the terms of the Recapitalisation Proposal which were subject to shareholder approval, was tabled and the resolutions passed at a general meeting of shareholders.
Due to unforeseen costs and circumstances, the Company determined that it is necessary to increase the amount to be raised under the prospectus to \$2,500,000 to ensure that it has sufficient cash reserves to satisfy ASX's conditions to reinstatement. Accordingly, an additional general meeting of shareholders was held on 14 August 2013 with the following resolutions approved by shareholders:
- The issue of 100,000,000 new shares arising on the conversion of the convertible notes issued by the Company in consideration for \$500,000 raised from related and non-related parties including Trident Capital Pty Ltd, with a conversion rate of 1 share for every \$0.005 of the note amounts (post consolidation);
- The issue of up to 250,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) by means of a public offer at one cent per share to raise up to \$2,500,000 under a prospectus;
- The right of the Directors to participate in the public offer under the prospectus;
- The issue of 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) for nil consideration to Strategic Investors.
As the Company is currently subject to the DOCA, there is a risk that if the terms and conditions of the DOCA are not satisfied, the Company may proceed into administration or liquidation.
ASX requires the Company to obtain the grant of the Windimurra Tenement prior to being reinstated to the Official List, although the Directors are not aware of any reasons why the Minister would reject the application for the Windimurra Tenement, the Minister has discretion under the Mining Act to grant or refuse a mining lease as it thinks fit.
Notwithstanding the Company being in administration, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company is a going concern. In forming this opinion, the Directors have taken into account the above matters as well as that:
-
- The Company has successfully issued convertible notes raising \$500,000. The convertible notes were issued in two tranches:
- Tranche 1 (providing \$150,000) was issued in July 2012; and
- Tranche 2 (providing \$350,000) was issued in December 2012.
All cash relating to these convertible notes was received prior to the date of issue of this annual report.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
(d) Going concern (continued)
-
- If the prospectus for the proposed capital raising and issue of up to 250,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (post consolidation) by means of a public offer at one cent per share to raise up to \$2,500,000 is fully subscribed, then the Company will receive \$2,500,000 before costs of issue. The Directors expect that this amount will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay the costs of the Recapitalisation Proposal, make payments for the benefit of Creditors under the DOCA, pay the Badimia Native Title Claimant Group pursuant to the Deferred Mining Agreement, fund the costs of reviewing and evaluating the Company's Mining Lease M58/272 and provide additional working capital.
-
- The Directors are confident that the Company will be released and discharged of all claims (liabilities) by Creditors through satisfaction of the outstanding conditions of the DOCA, specifically the payment by the Company to the Deed Administrators of \$480,000 from the proceeds of issuing shares under the Prospectus.
In the event that the above initiatives are unsuccessful, in particular the outstanding conditions of the DOCA and the Company's reinstatement with the ASX, there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore the Company may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amount and classification of assets or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
3. Significant accounting policies
(a) Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Company's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Company's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in note 3(g).
Other
Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses
Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Operating lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense and spread over the lease term.
(c) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation costs, comprising net direct costs (including the costs of acquiring licences) and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure directly attributable to the exploration property, relating to current areas of interest are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:
- (i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or
- (ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:
- sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; and
- circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy 3(h)).
For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mining property and development assets.
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned, accumulated costs carried forward are written off to the income statement in the year in which that assessment is made. Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest, unless the Company's right of tenure to that area of interest is current.
(d) Impairment
Financial assets
A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis.
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
(d) Impairment (continued)
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(e) Employee benefits
Wages, salaries, annual leave, sick leave and non-monetary benefits
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Company expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.
(f) Provisions
A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
(g) Finance income and expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and foreign currency gains that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, foreign currency losses, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognised on financial assets, that are recognised in profit or loss. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
(h) Income tax
Income tax on the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
(h) Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
(i) Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
(j) Goods and services tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
(k) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2013 reporting periods. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
i) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013). AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value of financial and non-financial items recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position or disclosed in the notes in the financial statements.
Additional disclosures may be required for items measured at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position, as well as items merely disclosed at fair value in the notes to the financial statements. Extensive additional disclosure requirements for items measured at fair value that are 'level 3' valuations in the fair value hierarchy that are not financial instruments.
When this standard is adopted for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2014, additional disclosures will be required about fair values.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
(k) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (continued)
ii) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective from 1 July 2013). Amendments to remove individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements from AASB 124 to eliminate duplicated information required under the Corporation Act 2001.
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014 the Company will show reduced disclosures under Key Management Personnel note to the financial statements.
iii) AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). Amendment to defer the effective date of AASB 9 to 1 January 2013. Entities are no longer required to restate comparatives on first time adoption. Instead, additional disclosures on the effects of transition are required.
When this standard is adopted for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2014, additional disclosure will be required on transition, including the quantitative effects of reclassifying financial assets on transition.
4. Determination of fair values
A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
(a) Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
(b) Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. In respect of the liability component of convertible notes, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar liabilities that do not have a conversion option.
(d) Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of employee stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.
The fair value of share based payments is measured using the market price of the listed shares on the date of issue.
(e) Financial guarantees
For financial guarantee contract liabilities, the fair value at initial recognition are determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. This method takes into account the probability of default by the guaranteed party over the term of the contract, the loss given default (being the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered in the event of default) and exposure at default (being the maximum loss at the time of default).
Windimurra Vanadium Limited Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2013
5. Financial risk management
Overview
The Company has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
- credit risk
- liquidity risk
- market risk.
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this annual financial report.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investment securities.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company continually monitors its cash flow requirements. Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 90 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, affect the Company's financial performance or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises as a result of the fluctuations in variable interest rates.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
5. Financial risk management (continued) Capital management
Capital is defined as the share capital of the Company. Notwithstanding the Company being in administration since February 2009, the Board has implemented policies with regards to capital management. The Board 's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. On 12 March 2013, the Company's securities were consolidated on a 1:8 basis. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Dividends
No dividends were proposed or paid during the financial year.
17. Financial instruments
Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Company's financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
| Carrying amount | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 153,039 | 1,925 |
| Trade and other receivables | 41,433 | - |
| 194,472 | 1,925 | |
The Company does not currently earn revenue from operating assets, thus there is currently no credit risk on trade receivables at the reporting date by geographic region, customer type or by significant customer.
Impairment losses
The Company does not currently earn revenue from operating assets, thus there is currently no receivables that are past due, nor is there a requirement to make any allowances for impairment in respect of other receivables.
Liquidity risk

18. Contingencies
On the completion of the Recapitalisation Proposal (refer to note 2 d)), the Company will retain ownership of its 100% interest in the application for Western Australian mining lease M58/272 (Windimurra Tenement) located in the Murchison Goldfield in Western Australia.
The Windimurra Tenement is currently in the application stage and is pending grant by the minister. The Windimurra Tenement is subject to a native title claim, therefore before the Windimurra Tenement can be granted by the Minister, the Company and the Badimia Native Title Claimant Group (Claimant Group) are required to comply with "the right to negotiate" process set out in the Native Title Act.
On 17 January 2013, the Company and the Claimant Group have completed their negotiation in accordance with the Native Title Act and as a result have entered into the Deferred Mining Agreement.
In accordance with the Deferred Mining Agreement, conditional to obtaining shareholders' approval, the relisting of the Company's securities to the Official List of the ASX and the capital raising, the Company will pay \$300,000 to the Claimant Group in return for the grant of the Windimurra Tenement.
