The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursue the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs. To the extent they are applicable, the Company has adopted the Eight Essential Corporate Governance Principles and Best Practice Recommendations ("Recommendations") as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council.
The Company's Corporate Governance policy is available on the Company's website. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance structures will be given further consideration.
Principle 1– Lay solid foundations for management oversight
The Board and management have agreed on their respective roles and responsibilities and the functions reserved to the Board and management. The Board has established and adopted a Board Charter for this purpose. The Board has also established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter which, among other functions, guides the Board in its evaluation of the performance of senior executives.
Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value
The Board ultimately takes responsibility for corporate governance, and will be accountable to the Shareholder for the performance of the Company. The functions and responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Company's constitution and Corporations Act.
The Board does not currently have a majority of independent directors. It is comprised of one independent director and two non-independent directors. The existing structure is considered appropriate given the small scale of the Company's enterprise and the associated economic restrictions this places on the Company. The existing structure is aimed at maximising the financial position of the Company by keeping its operating costs to a minimum.
No separate nomination committee has been formed. However, the Company has adopted a Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter. The role of the nomination committee is carried out by the full Board in accordance with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter. The Board considers that at this stage, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate committee.
Principle 3 – Promote ethical and responsible decision making
All Directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Company. The Board has established a Code of Conduct to guide the Directors, managers, contractors, employees and officers of the Company. A Share Trading Policy has also been established.
Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
The Directors require the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer to state in writing to the Board that the Company's financial condition and operational results and is in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
A separate audit committee has not been formed. However, the Company has adopted an Audit Committee Charter. The role of the audit committee is carried out by the full Board in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter. The Board considers that given its size, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate audit committee.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
4.1 Corporate governance statement (continued)
Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Directors are committed to keeping the market fully informed of material developments to ensure compliance with the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The Directors have established a written policy and procedure to ensure compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Listing Rules.
Principle 6 – Respect the rights of Shareholders
The Directors have established a communication strategy to promote effective communication with Shareholders and encourage effective participation at general meetings. As well as ensuring timely and appropriate access to information for all investors via announcements to the ASX, the Company will ensure that all relevant documents are released on the Company's website.
Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk
The Directors have established a Risk Management Policy regarding the oversight and management of material business risks.
Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly
A separate remuneration committee has not been formed. However, the Company has adopted a Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter. The role of the Remuneration Committee is carried out by the full Board in accordance with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee charter. The Board considers at this stage, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate Committee.

5.1 Principles of compensation – audited
Remuneration is referred to as compensation throughout this report.
Key management personnel had authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the consolidated entity, including directors of the consolidated entity and other executives. Key management personnel comprise the directors and the five most highly remunerated executives for the consolidated entity.
Compensation levels for key management personnel and secretaries of the consolidated entity and relevant key management personnel of the consolidated entity were competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives. Where required the remuneration committee obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of compensation packages given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the consolidated entity's compensation strategy.
The compensation structures explained below was designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The compensation structures take into account:
- the capability and experience of the key management personnel;

- the consolidated entity's performance.
Compensation packages included a mix of fixed and variable compensation and short-term and long-term performance-based incentives. In addition to their salaries, the consolidated entity also provided non-cash benefits to its key management personnel, and contributed to a post-employment defined benefit superannuation plan on their behalf.

Where necessary, external consultants provided analysis and advice to ensure the directors' and senior executives' compensation were competitive in the market place.
Performance-linked compensation
Other short-term incentive bonuses or cash bonuses were determined by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. Bonuses were based on the individual's performance, as well as the performance or outcomes achieved by the consolidated entity.

Overview of the consolidated entity

Preparation of Annual Financial Report
The annual financial report has been prepared after consideration and evaluation of the information available having regard to the following events:
- On 18 February 2009, the Company was placed into administration by a resolution of the directors of the Company (refer also to "History, Review of Operations and Subsequent Events" on page 12). As a result of this, the directors at that time no longer had full control over the running of the Company and there was a subsequent loss of key staff.
- The Company entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCA") pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 as approved at a Creditors Meeting on 9 December 2009.
Every reasonable effort has been made by the Directors to obtain all financial information of the Company. However, there may be information that the Directors have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material to the financial statements.
The Company's 90% owned subsidiary, Midwest Vanadium Pty Ltd was sold on 24 September 2010. As a result of this, the Company had lost access to the financial information of the subsidiary and consequently, the Company has not consolidated the financial results and position. The Company lost control of the subsidiary on 18 February 2009.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
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.
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.
Windimurra Vanadium Limited and its controlled entities
Directors' report (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2010
History, Review of Operations and Subsequent Events (continued)
On 26 February 2013, the terms of the Recapitalisation Proposal which were subject to shareholder approval, were tabled and the resolutions passed at a general meeting of shareholders.
The reduction of capital took effect on that date 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.
Midwest Vanadium
In February 2009, the Company's subsidiary, Midwest Vanadium Pty Ltd ("Midwest"), went into administration. On 25 November 2009, Mineral Resources Limited ("MRL") had entered into a heads of agreement with the receiver of Midwest Vanadium Pty Ltd, to lead a consortium to recapitalise the Windimurra Vanadium project in Western Australia, together with Atlantic Ltd ("Atlantic").
On 24 September 2010, the Deed Administrators, Ferrier Hodgson advised the ASX that the Company had transferred 90,001 shares in Midwest to Atlantic to give effect to the DOCA and financial close between the Company and Midwest. As a result of this, the Company had lost access to the financial information of Midwest and consequently, the Company has not consolidated the financial results and position.
Officers
In October 2009, Messrs. Iain Scott, Garry Korte, Wolf Martinick and Earl of Warwick resigned as Directors of the Company.
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 consolidated entity to members during the 2010 or 2009 financial years.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
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.
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.
For the year ended 30 June 2010

1. Reporting entity
This annual financial report includes the financial statements and notes of Windimurra Vanadium Limited and its controlled entities ("the consolidated entity"). The consolidated entity is in administration and is a for-profit entity primarily involved in exploration for mineral reserves and is domiciled in Australia. Its registered address is Level 24, 44 St George's Terrace, Perth, Western Australia.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The annual financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ('AASBs') (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001. The annual financial report of the consolidated entity also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The annual financial report were authorised for issue by the directors on 12th November 2013.
(b) Basis of measurement
The annual financial report has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:
liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at fair value.
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) Completeness of Financial Records
The annual financial report has been prepared after consideration and evaluation of the information available having regard to the following events:
- On 18 February 2009, the Company was placed into administration by a resolution of the directors of the Company. As a result of this, the directors at that time no longer had full control over the running of the Company and there was a subsequent loss of key staff.
- The Company entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCA") pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 as approved at a Creditors Meeting on 9 December 2009.
Every reasonable effort has been made by the Directors to obtain all financial information of the Company. However, there may be information that the Directors have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material to the financial statements.
The Company's 90% owned subsidiary, Midwest Vanadium Pty Ltd was sold on 24 September 2010. As a result of this, the Company had lost access to the financial information of the subsidiary and consequently, the Company has not consolidated the financial results and position. The Company lost control of the subsidiary on 18 February 2009.
(e) Going concern
The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010 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.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
(e) Going concern (continued)
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;
- 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.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
(e) Going concern (continued)
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.
-
- 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) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) 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 consolidated entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the consolidated entity'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 consolidated entity commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the consolidated entity'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(j).
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 consolidated entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.
(c) Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within "other income" or "other expenses" in the profit or loss.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the consolidated entity and its costs can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Land is not depreciated.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
(c) Property, plant and equipment (continued) Subsequent costs
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
| - Site buildings | 4 years |
|---|---|
| - Site plant and equipment | 4-5 years |
| - Office equipment | 2-5 years |
| - Motor vehicles | 4 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date.
Mine development
Once a development decision has been taken, expenditure for the establishment of access to mineral reserves, together with capitalised exploration, evaluation and commissioning expenditure, including an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure directly attributable to the development property are capitalised and classified under non-current assets as "Mine development".
No amortisation is provided in respect of development properties until commercial production is declared by the consolidated entity (for new operations), or in which mining of a mineral resource has commenced, and mine development expenditure is reclassified as "Mine properties".
Mine properties
Mine properties represent the accumulation of all development expenditure in relation to areas of interest. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a mine property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the mine property only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production on the statement of comprehensive income.
Amortisation of costs is provided on the unit-of-production method which results in an amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the economically recoverable mineral reserves within the proven and probable category.
(d) Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the consolidated entity assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Other leases are operating leases.
Operating lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an integral part of the total lease expense and spread over the lease term.
(e) 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 consolidated entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
(e) Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
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(g)).
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 statement of comprehensive income in the year in which that assessment is made. Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest, unless the consolidated entity's right of tenure to that area of interest is current.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition.
(g) 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. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair value.
Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to 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 and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
(g) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the consolidated entity's non-financial assets, 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. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use this recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
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. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
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 in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. 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.
(h) 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 consolidated entity expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.
Share-based payment transactions
The share option program allows employees to acquire shares of the consolidated entity. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
(i) Provisions
A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the consolidated entity 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.
Site restoration
In accordance with applicable legal requirements, a provision for site restoration in respect of mining projects is recognised where the mining or exploration activity undertaken, requires rehabilitation in the future, usually upon final and permanent closure of the relevant mine.
The provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements and technology. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at the end of the reporting period.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
(i) Site restoration (continueD)
The amount of the provision for future restoration costs is capitalised and is depreciated in accordance with the policy set out in note 3(c). The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost.
(j) 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.
(k) Income tax
Income tax on the profit or loss 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.
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.
(l) Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the consolidated entity 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.
(m) 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.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
(n) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2010 reporting periods. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretation is considered to be not material and they have not been adopted at 30 June 2010. Standards that are available for early adoption at 30 June 2010, but have not been applied in preparing this annual financial report.
- AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (revised December 2009), AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (effective 1 January 2011)
- Interpretation 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (effective 1 July 2010)
- AASB 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations amendments (effective 1 January 2010)
- AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows (effective 1 January 2010)
The impact of the above standards and interpretations is not expected to have a significant impact.
4. Determination of fair values
A number of the consolidated entity'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. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements.
(c) 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.
(d) 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).
5. Financial risk management
Overview
The consolidated entity has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
- credit risk
- liquidity risk
- market risk.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
5. Financial risk management (continued)
This note presents information about the consolidated entity'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 consolidated entity, 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 consolidated entity's activities. The consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the consolidated entity's receivables from customers and investment securities.
Trade and other receivables
The consolidated entity's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The consolidated entity'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 consolidated entity's reputation.
The consolidated entity continually monitors its cash flow requirements. Typically the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity'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.
The consolidated entity enters into derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Board. Where permitted, the consolidated entity generally seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises as a result of the fluctuations in variable the interest rates.
The consolidated entity manages its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings that are subject to variable interest rates by entering into interest rate swaps.
For the year ended 30 June 2010
5. Financial risk management (continued) Capital management
Capital is defined as the share capital of the consolidated entity. 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. There were no changes in the consolidated entity's approach to capital management during the year. The consolidated entity is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
6. Segment reporting
The consolidated entity operated in one industry being mining and mineral exploration and in the one geographical segment, Australia.
