This year the Company successfully completed a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Project, and marketing discussions have commenced with potential customers. During 2011, the Company also took the first steps towards achieving project approvals and has established constructive working relationships with stakeholders and local communities. Rey Resources has an experienced Board and management team committed to realising the development of the Duchess Paradise Project, and to expanding the resource base of the Company. 4 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 HIGHLIGHTS • Completed Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for Duchess Paradise Project confirming economically robust thermal coal export project • Mining Lease application submitted to Departments of Mines and Petroleum in Western Australia • Measured Resources in the upper seam (P1 seam) upgraded to 60.2 million tonnes of thermal coal • Total P1 seam resource increased to 305.8 million tonnes • Total Duchess Paradise resource (P1 plus P2 seam) 535 million tonnes • Maiden coal reserve estimate in upper (P1) seam of 26.3 million tonnes • Continued stakeholder engagement with Traditional Owners, State and Federal Government and local community groups • 2011 drilling program commenced to expand resources to support extended life of slot mining operation, and to extend potential underground coal mining • Appointment of new and experienced Board members, being Mr Charlie Lenegan as Non-Executive Chairman and Ms Maree Arnason as Executive Director – Strategy • Successfully completed A$12 million capital raising. Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 5 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Dear Shareholder, I am pleased to report to shareholders after my first year as Chairman. It is an exciting time to be part of Rey Resources with the Company reaching a significant number of milestones over the past year and with the Definitive Feasibility Study outlining a clear pathway through to production. The Company’s strategy is to maximise shareholder value by: • Establishing a pathway for development of a successful long term operation based on the Company’s resources. The Definitive Feasibility Study has demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed Duchess Paradise Project development – using proven mining and transportation methods from the coalface to potential customers • Pursuing programs to improve the resource base. This includes drilling to extend resource estimates as well as programs to upgrade resource definition and to develop reserve estimates • Engaging with key stakeholders to ensure responsible development and operation of the project. This engagement extends to local communities and governments as well as potential customers and suppliers • Seeking opportunities to generate further value for Rey Resources shareholders. This includes business development initiatives as well as corporate development and funding strategies. The Company announced the successful completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Duchess Paradise Project in June, 2011. This marks the culmination of a significant amount of work over the past 18 months and it is a credit to the Rey Resources team, who have demonstrated that the Duchess Paradise Project is not only financially viable in its current form, but also has significant upside potential and growth opportunities. The 2011 exploration program, which is focused on expanding resources and reserves to support long term operations, is in progress. The P1 Resource Estimate was upgraded in April 2011 and a Reserve Estimate was issued in June 2011 to support the DFS. The DFS has provided a strong platform from which we will seek to maximise the value of our large landholding in the Canning Basin. Alongside the significant amount of work that has been going into the DFS over the past year, the Company has submitted an application for a mining lease to the Western Australian Government, and environment permitting has commenced. An integral part of our business is building relationships and earning our social license within the communities in which we operate. In June 2011 the Company entered into formal negotiations with the Traditional Owners, and we are now working towards an agreement that builds on the existing strong relationship and delivers ongoing benefits to Indigenous people including employment and business opportunities and investment in the future. The agreement will also recognise the fundamental importance of responsible management of environment and heritage. The Company’s financial position has been managed effectively through the year to ensure that the ongoing exploration activities and the DFS have been fully funded. The DFS has demonstrated the feasibility of the project, with NPV of $176M and cash generation before interest and tax of $953M in the first 11 years of operation. The Duchess Paradise Project is one of few greenfields thermal coal projects in Australia which has a clear pathway through to production, with key logistics and port infrastructure essentially in place and with the stakeholder engagement and approval processes underway. 6 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Despite the challenging investment market conditions in 2010-2011, the Company has been successful in securing the funding required for its activities. Subsequent to the close of the financial year, the Company announced a successful A$8 million placement to fund activities through to the end of 2011. The Company is currently evaluating options for funding the next phases of the project, and will be focused on identifying pathways which preserve and grow value for shareholders. Following the 2010 Annual General Meeting we have had a number of Board changes including my appointment as Chairman and Ms Maree Arnason’s appointment as Executive Director – Strategy. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Board appointed Mr Brett Clark and Mr Lex Graefe as Non-Executive Directors. These appointments bring valuable experience and knowledge to the Company as we continue to position Rey Resources for its next phase of development. I would like to wish my predecessor Mr Julian Ludowici, and Messrs Alan Humphris, James McClements, Bruce Preston and William McIntosh well as they leave the Board, and thank them for the contributions they have each made to the growth and development of the Company. In the coming year, the strategy will focus on exploration to increase and upgrade the resource base whilst also optimising and planning for the Duchess Paradise Project, including extension of the mine life beyond ten years. Decisions will also be made regarding the financing for the project and the potential involvement of offtakers in the project’s development. I would like to thank my Board colleagues for their support and contribution over the past year, and the Board wishes to record its thanks for the efforts of all the Rey Resources employees, consultants and contractors who have contributed to the Company’s development over the 2010-2011 year. I would like to thank shareholders for their continuing support of Rey Resources. We look forward to another exciting year ahead as we continue to grow the resource base and progress towards development of the Duchess Paradise Project. Charlie Lenegan Chairman Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 7 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE CORPORATE ACTIVITIES During December Rey Resources successfully completed a A$12 million capital raising. This attracted significant support from existing shareholders, and the Company also welcomed new global and domestic institutions to the register. The funds raised were used primarily to conduct further exploration drilling, environmental surveys and assessments, and complete the DFS. Subsequent to the end of the financial year a further placement of A$8 million has taken place. Funds raised under the placement will be used for exploration, targeting an increase in resource and extension of mine life as well as funding continued permitting for Duchess Paradise and general working capital. ORGANISATION Rey Resources is ensuring its exploration and project development activities are underpinned by organisational policies and objectives that minimize risk and ensure responsible corporate conduct. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Rey Resources developed and integrated an Occupational Health and Safety Policy to ensure a safe and secure working environment for employees, contractors and visitors. The policy was adopted in June 2011. ENVIRONMENT POLICY Rey Resources adopted a new Environment Policy in May 2011, stating a clear corporate commitment to responsible environmental management that applies to all aspects of its business. 8 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 DUCHESS PARADISE PROJECT PROJECT OVERVIEW The Duchess Paradise Project is situated on pastoral land about 175 km by road south east of Derby in Western Australia’s Canning Basin. The Project will include a low-impact slot mine, a coal handling and preparation plant, support infrastructure and a 30 km access road to the Great Northern Highway. The Project does not impact on any environmental or heritage protection areas.

The DFS confirmed a 2.0 to 2.5 million tonnes per annum operation for 10 years with strong cashflows. The project has substantial potential to significantly extend the mine life by up to a further ten years. Marketing discussions have commenced with potential customers. Work on the DFS commenced in early 2010 and proposed a slot mining operation with road haulage on existing infrastructure and exports via the company’s existing port infrastructure at Derby. The study referenced construction is expected to commence in 2013 with first mining in late 2013 and first sales in early 2014, subject to obtaining the required approvals. Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 9 EXPLORATION PROGRAM Rey Resources is undertaking an exploration program aimed at expanding the P1 coal reserves to support a longer life operation. The Duchess Paradise Project occurs on coal outcropping over 25 kilometres. Drilling is now starting to focus on the remaining approximately 300 kilometres of interpreted subcrop in the Company’s exploration leases. In June 2011, Rey Resources recommenced its drilling program following the wet season, aiming to: • Expand shallow thermal coal resource estimates • Explore new sub-crop areas • Upgrade deeper coal resources to enable early estimates of underground mining potential. CONSULTATION AND APPROVALS Rey Resources discussions with native title holders continued during the year. Formal negotiations with Traditional Owners started in June 2011 and a precursor agreement to a final native title agreement will continue to be the focus of Rey Resources in the coming year. The Company lodged a Mining Lease Application (MLA) with the Department of Mines and Petroleum in Western Australia on 17 December 2010. The MLA seeks to convert parts of two Exploration Permits, which include sections of the previously reported Duchess Paradise thermal coal resource and its possible extensions, into a Mining Lease as part of the Duchess Paradise Project. At the same time, an application was also made for a Miscellaneous Licence to accommodate support infrastructure, including an all-weather access road to the Great Northern Highway, an airstrip, a fresh water supply borefield, construction gravel and some service roads. Environmental permitting has commenced, with the referral of the Project to the Environmental Protection Authority in Western Australia in June 2011, and to the federal Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities in July 2011. 10 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 BUSINESS OUTLOOK The thermal coal market continues to be strong, underpinned by growing demand from China and India. Whilst many new coal projects suffer infrastructure constraints and delays, the Duchess Paradise Project is well positioned to deliver into these growing markets.

A checklist, cross referencing the ASX Principles to the relevant section of this Statement and the Remuneration Report, is provided on pages 26 and 27 of this Report and published on the Company’s website at www.reyresources.com. 1 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (a) Board Composition and Expertise A number of changes to the Board have occurred during the financial year to ensure it maintains an appropriate range of relevant industry experience, operational, financial and other skills and expertise to meet its objectives. The current Board composition includes four independent directors and two executive directors. Details on each director’s backgrounds including experience, knowledge and skills and their status as an independent or non- independent director are set out on pages 30 to 32 of this Report. The Board considers that the non-executive and executive directors collectively bring the range of skills, knowledge and experience necessary to direct the Company. In assessing the composition of the Board, the directors have regard to the following policies: • The Chairman should be non-executive • The role of the Chairman and Managing Director should not be filled by the same person • The Managing Director should be a full-time employee of the Company • The Board should include a majority of independent non-executive directors. (b) Board Role and Responsibilities The Board Charter outlines the matters that are reserved for the Board and those that the Board has delegated to management. The central role of the Board is to oversee and approve the Company’s strategic direction, to select and appoint a Managing Director, to oversee the Company’s management and business activities and report to shareholders.

The information in the report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Act. 6.1 Principles of Compensation For the purpose of this report Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent Company, and includes (up to) the five executives receiving the highest remuneration. An ‘Executive’ is a person who makes, or participates in making decisions that affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the business of the Company, or has the capacity to affect significantly the Company’s financial standing. Based on these definitions, the officers listed under Key Management Personnel below are included in the report. The report also provides an explanation of Rey Resources’ remuneration policy and structure, details of remuneration paid to Key Management (including directors), an analysis of the relationship between company performance and executive remuneration payments, details of share-based payments, and the key terms of executive employment contracts. 2011 Key Management Personnel The KMP of Rey Resources Limited during the year ended 30 June 2011 were: Non Executive Charlie Lenegan Chairman (appointed 29 November 2010) Ronnie Beevor Non-executive director (appointed 2 August 2010) Alan Humphris Non-executive director Julian Ludowici Former Chairman (retired 29 November 2010) James McClements Non-executive director Bill McIntosh Non-executive director (appointed 21 February 2011; resigned 6 April 2011) Executive Kevin Wilson Managing Director Maree Arnason Executive Director – Strategy (appointed 7 April 2011) Ron Hite Project Director Bruce Preston Technical Director (resigned as a director 6 April 2011) Remuneration Policy The successful performance of the Company is dependent on the quality and performance of directors and executives, so the focus of the remuneration policy is to attract, retain and motivate highly competent people to these roles. Four broad principles govern the remuneration strategy of the Company: 1 To set demanding levels of performance for senior management and to align their remuneration with the achievement of clearly defined targets. 34 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 2 3 4 To provide market competitive remuneration and conditions in an increasingly tight market for high quality directors and executives, particularly in Western Australia To align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value and the achievement of company strategy, objectives and performance. To be able to differentiate reward based on performance, in particular acknowledging the contribution of outstanding performers. The Company seeks to provide fixed remuneration at the median level of the markets in which it competes for talent, and to provide the opportunity for a higher than median level of variable reward for those individuals who make an outstanding contribution to the success of the business. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for advising the Board on matters relating to the remuneration of the directors, senior executives and employees of the Company, including making recommendations in relation to the remuneration framework of the company and the fees and remuneration paid to directors and executives. The Committee seeks independent remuneration advice from time to time, and subscribes to relevant market survey data for the purposes of external comparison. Hedging policy The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits all directors and employees from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested LTI awards. The prohibition includes entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options awarded as part of their remuneration package. Executive Remuneration Components Executive remuneration is structured so that it supports the key remuneration principles outlined above, and motivates executives towards achievement of the annual objectives and longer term success of the company. A Total Fixed Remuneration (“TFR”) is paid which considers external market comparisons and individual performance. Performance linked compensation is available through the short term and long term incentive plans outlined below. Fixed remuneration Executives receive an annualised TFR from which they must have deducted statutory superannuation. They may elect to salary sacrifice further superannuation contributions and other benefits such as a motor vehicle. Accommodation assistance and medical insurance may be provided for employees from overseas or interstate where it is necessary to be able to attract key talent. An annual review of TFR is undertaken in July each year and reflects market movements and individual performance. Short term incentive The objective of the short term incentive plan is to align the achievement of the Company’s annual targets with the performance of those executives who have key responsibility for achieving those targets. The participants in the plan currently are the Managing Director and the Executive Director – Strategy. It provides for a cash payment for meeting established targets for a number of key business measures during the financial year. These include completion of key project milestones, executing funding strategies, business and organisation development, increasing resource status and improving safety performance. Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 35 In the year ended 30 June 2011 financial year the Managing Director was eligible for a short-term incentive payment between nil and $80,000, with the maximum representing about 24% of total fixed remuneration. The maximum payment was awarded, reflecting successful completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study, good progress in respect of agreements, permits and approvals, the upgrading of resource and reserve estimates and successful financing of the business activities. In the year ended 30 June 2012, the Managing Director will be eligible for a target level short-term incentive payment of 20% of total fixed remuneration, up to a maximum of 40% for outstanding performance. The Executive Director – Strategy was appointed in April 2011 and the short- term incentive assessment will apply for the half year ending 31 December 2011, to a maximum of $50,000, representing about 13% of annual total fixed remuneration. Long term incentive During the year an executive option plan was replaced by the Rey Resources Limited Incentive Rights Plan (“Rights Plan”), which was approved at the 2010 Annual General Meeting. The Rights Plan aligns the reward of the participants with the long term creation of shareholder value. In the year ended 30 June 2011 the participants were restricted to the non-executive directors, the Managing Director and three senior managers. As explained below under non-executive director Fees the Board is seeking shareholder approval at the 2011 Annual General Meeting for a separate Rights Plan for non-executive directors. The Rights Plan enables participants to be granted rights to acquire shares subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Subject to adjustments for any bonus issues of shares and capital reorganisations, one share will be issued on the exercise of each right which vests or becomes exercisable. No amount is payable by employees in respect of the grant or exercise of rights. The amount for executives is based on a target percentage of their Total Fixed Remuneration, and includes a performance component based on the achievement of key milestones and a retention component. The performance component for non-executive directors is based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over the measurement period for each tranche of share rights, with full vesting occurring if the TSR exceeds 20%. Relationship Between Company Performance and Remuneration The objective of the Company’s remuneration structure is to reward and incentivise the directors and executives so as to ensure alignment with the interests of the shareholders. The remuneration structure also seeks to reward directors and executives for their contribution in a manner that is appropriate for a company at this stage of its development. As outlined elsewhere in this Report, the remuneration structure incorporates fixed, annual at risk and long term incentive components. For shareholders, the key measure of value is TSR. Other than general market conditions, the key drivers of value for the Company and a summary of performance are provided in the table below. Driver Status Upgrades to the resource base Resource Upgrade issued April 2011. Reserve Statement issued June 2011. 36 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Driver Status Progress towards development of a successful long term operation based on the Company’s resources Mining Lease application submitted December 2010. Definitive Feasibility Study completed June 2011. Effective engagement with key stakeholders to secure successful development of the long term project Seeking opportunities to generate further value through business development, corporate development and funding strategies. Environmental permitting process commenced June 2011. Ongoing discussions with Traditional Owners to obtain required approvals. Ongoing discussions with third parties regarding business development. Optimisation work for proposed project identified – to be followed up in the year ending 30 June 2012. Funding secured for exploration, feasibility study and corporate activities in the year ending 30 June 2012. At this stage in the development of the Company successful execution of the above drivers is the mechanism through which shareholder wealth will be created. The only relevant financial measure at this point in the Company’s development is share price for which the history is presented below. Closing Share Price 30th June $0.190 $0.115 $0.130 $0.360 $0.091 $0.13 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 Non-Executive Director Fees The policy on non-executive director (NED) fees is to apply a remuneration framework which is appropriate for a company at this stage of its development. A fixed annual fee, established by reference to the market, is paid in cash and NEDs also participate in a Share Performance Rights Plan to recognise their role in guiding the Company through the exploration, evaluation, development and operations start up stages of development. The Company established a single Share Performance Rights Plan to cover its NEDs and participating executives in 2010, and this Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2010 Annual General Meeting. Following the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study at the Company’s Duchess Paradise thermal coal project the company is focusing on the next phase of its development and, in accordance with ASX Corporate Governance Principle 8, it is now appropriate to separate the structure of NED remuneration from that of executives. As a result, shareholder approval will be sought for separate Share Performance Rights Plans for NEDs and executives in 2011, with annual future awards under these plans Approval will also be sought for the award of 400,000 Share Performance Rights to the Chairman, Mr C Lenegan in accordance with his letter of appointment. An aggregate fee limit for NED fees of $400,000 was approved at the 2010 Annual General Meeting. The Board will seek shareholder approval to increase this amount from time to time as appropriate based on market Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 37 relativities and the size of the Board to ensure that it can continue to attract high quality board members.

Following year end, the Company raised a further $8 million via a placement of 40 million shares to new and existing institutional and sophisticated clients of Euroz Securities Limited and Sinonew Capital Advisory during July and August 2011. 9 DIVIDENDS No dividend has been paid or declared by the Company during the financial year ended 30 June 2011 (2010: nil) and the Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2011. 10 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS A definitive feasibility study was undertaken during the year, based on part of the Duchess Paradise resource, and completed in June 2011. On 29 November 2010, and following the retirement of Mr Julian Ludowici, Mr Charlie Lenegan was appointed as Chairman of the Company.

In particular, some operations are required to be licensed to conduct certain activities under the environmental protection legislation in the state in which they operate and such licences include requirements specific to the subject site. So far as the directors are aware, there have been no material breaches of the Company’s licences and all exploration activities have been undertaken in compliance with the relevant environmental regulations. 15 INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE During the financial year, the Company paid a premium to insure the directors and officers of the Company against liabilities incurred in the performance of their duties. Under the terms and conditions of the insurance contract, the premium paid cannot be disclosed. The officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include any person acting in the course of duties for the Company who is, or was, a director, company secretary or senior manager within the Company. The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers, in their capacity as officers, of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities. 16 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Following year end, the Company raised a further $8 million via a placement of 40 million shares to new and existing institutional and sophisticated clients of Euroz Securities Limited and Sinonew Capital Advisory during July and August 2011. 17 PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY At the date of this report, there are no leave applications or proceedings brought on behalf of the Company under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001. Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 45 18 ROUNDING The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order 98/100, amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. 19 NON-AUDIT SERVICES During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in relation to tax advisory and compliance in addition to their statutory duties, refer to note 25. The board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2011 for the following reasons: • • All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor The non-audit services provided do no undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards. 20 AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION The auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 47 and forms part of the directors’ report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 51 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 REPORTING ENTITY Rey Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 1121 Hay Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “Rey Resources” or the “Group”). The Group primarily is involved in mineral exploration and mineral project evaluation. 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”), and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 August 2011. (b) Going concern The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates the realisation of assets and payment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group has no debt obligations. The Group incurred a loss for the year of $5.3 million. The Group successfully raised $11.4 million (net of costs) in December 2010 and will be required to raise additional funds in order to meet its budgeted expenditure for the year ending 30 June 2012. On 1 July 2011, the Company announced a placement for 40 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.20 per Share to raise $8.0 million before costs (“Placement”). The Placement to institutional and sophisticated investors was made in two tranches. The second tranche of 33.3 million shares required shareholder approval and this was obtained at an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders on 5 August 2011. The funds were received in July and August 2011. The Company has engaged advisors to assist in the sourcing of funds to support the next phase of the development of Duchess Paradise. If there are delays in securing funding for planned activities for the year ending 30 June 2012, the Company has contingency plans in place to scale back its activities until the funding is in place. The scaled back activities can be funded from the existing resources through to August 2012. Directors continue to manage the Group’s activities with due regard to current and future funding requirements. On this basis the directors believe the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. (c) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. (d) Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. 52 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) (e) Use of estimates and judgements The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about assumptions, estimates and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described in note 20. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Group. 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Rey Resources Limited and its subsidiaries: (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group’s parent entity. Control refers to the power of governing the operating and financial policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Control is presumed when the parent acquires more than half of the voting rights of the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. (ii) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and expenses on transactions between companies of the consolidated entity are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. (b) Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. (c) Non derivative financial instruments Financial instruments are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). (i) Non-Derivative Financial Assets The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 53 Notes to financial statements (continued) The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. (ii) Non-derivative Financial Liabilities The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. (iii) Share Capital 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. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment (i) Recognition and Measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is 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 assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. 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. The 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/other expenses in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, any related amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings. 54 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) (ii) Subsequent Costs The cost of replacing a component 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 component will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. The estimated depreciation rates for the current and comparative years are as follows: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment Fixtures and fittings 20 – 40% 10 – 30% Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. (e) Exploration and development assets Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. At the end of each reporting period, the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Costs of the site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plants, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 55 Notes to financial statements (continued) Any changes in the estimates for costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site. (f) Impairment (i) Non-derivative Financial Assets A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on the terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payments status of the borrowers or issuers in the Group, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment. Loans and receivables and held-to maturity securities The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables and held- to-maturity investment securities that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. 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 asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity, to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from equity to profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit 56 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) or loss. Changes in impairment provisions attributable to application of the effective interest method are reflected as a component of interest income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income. (ii) Non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses the carrying values of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit or loss. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) 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. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated. (g) Employee benefits Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance sheet date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-cost. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. (i) Short-Term Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short- term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. (ii) Share-Based Payment Transactions The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 57 Notes to financial statements (continued) reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes. (h) Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (i) Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for: • Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss • Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future • Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been 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 for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Rey Resources Limited. 58 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) (j) Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options and share performance rights granted to employees. (k) Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill. (l) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, 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 the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. (m) Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, 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 gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, dividends on preference shares classified as liabilities, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets, and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. (n) Determination of fair values (i) Share-Based Payment Transactions The fair value of the directors performance rights is measured using Monte Carlo Sampling. The fair value of the executive rights is measured with reference to the share price at grant date. The fair value Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 59 Notes to financial statements (continued) of the employee share options are 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. (o) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following standards, amendment to standard and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2011, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report. (i) (ii) (iii) AASB 9 Financial Instruments includes requirement for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the project to replace AASM 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB will become mandatory for the Company’s 30 June 2014 financial statements. Retrospective application is generally required, although there are exceptions, particularly if the entity adopts the standard for the year ended 30 June 2012 or earlier. The Company has not yet determined the potential effect of the standard. AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (revised December 2009) simplifies and clarifies the intended meaning of the definition of a related party and provides a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The amendments, which will become mandatory for the Company’s 30 June 2012 financial statements, are not expected to have any impact of the financial statements. AASB 2009-5 Further amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Process affect various AASBs resulting in minor changes for presentation, disclosure, recognition and measurement purposes. The amendments, which become mandatory for the Company’s 30 June 2012 financial statements, are not expected to have significant impact on the financial statements. 60 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) 4 OTHER INCOME AND FINANCE INCOME in thousands of dollars Other income Profit on disposal of subsidiary Reversal of foreign currency translation on reserve on subsidiary disposed Other income Finance income Interest income 5 ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES in thousands of dollars Office supplies and expenses Professional and consulting fees Employee benefits expense (see below) Depreciation and amortisation expense Foreign exchange loss Impairment of receivable Insurance premiums Other expenses Employee benefits expense consists of: Equity-settled share-based payments Other 2011 2010 28 269 54 351 353 353 2011 482 1,386 2,519 43 (3) – 240 1,243 5,910 979 1,540 2,519 200 – 4 204 340 340 2010 349 1,295 646 13 19 189 – 453 2,964 76 570 646 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 61 Notes to financial statements (continued) 6 INCOME TAX EXPENSE in thousands of dollars Income tax recognised in profit or loss Current tax expense/(benefit) Current period Under (over) provided in prior years* Deferred tax (benefit)/expense Origination and reversal of temporary differences Current year losses for which no deferred tax asset was recognised Total income tax (benefit)/expense * This relates to the research and development claim lodged for tax year ended 30 June 2010 Reconciliation of prima facie tax on accounting loss before tax to income tax (benefit)/expense in thousands of dollars Accounting loss before tax At statutory income tax rate of 30% (2010: 30%) Effect of tax rates in foreign jurisdictions Non-deductible expenses* Tax losses for which no deferred tax asset was recognised Under (over) provided in prior periods * This relates primarily to non-deductible share based payment expenses. 2011 (5,965) (1,790) – 140 1,650 (633) (633) 62 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 2011 2010 (6,204) (633) (6,837) 4,554 1,650 6,204 (633) (1,824) – (1,824) 1,116 708 1,824 – 2010 (2,447) (734) 3 23 708 – – Notes to financial statements (continued) Recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities Deferred tax assets and liabilities are attributable to the following: in thousands of dollars Deferred tax liabilities 2011 2010 2011 2010 Exploration and evaluation expenditure (7,709) (2,892) (4,817) (1,116) Other (44) (307) 263 Gross deferred tax liability (7,753) (3,199) – – – 7,603 150 7,753 – 3,199 – 3,199 – – – (4,554) (1,116) Deferred tax assets Tax loss carry-forwards Other Gross deferred tax asset Net deferred tax asset/(liability) Deferred tax (expense)/benefit Tax losses At 30 June 2011, the Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $35,718,266 (2010: $15,039,236) that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable income. The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset in relation to these tax losses (other than an offset to the deferred tax liability) as realisation of the benefit is not regarded as probable. Tax consolidation Rey Resources Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax-consolidated Group during the financial year ended 30 June 2011. The first consolidated income tax return for the Group was filed for the tax year ended 30 June 2010. Rey Resources Limited is the head entity of the tax-consolidated group.

Blackfin Pty Ltd (“Blackfin”), a subsidiary of the Company, lodged applications for exemption from expenditure in relation to 11 of its exploration licences (E04/1515-1518, E04/1520-1525 and E04/1529) for the 2009 expenditure year. Mineralogy Pty Ltd (“Mineralogy”) lodged objections to the applications for exemption from expenditure and forfeiture applications affecting the 11 exploration licences (“Mineralogy Proceedings”). While the tenements, which are the subject of the application, cover areas of strategic interest to Rey Resources, they do not relate to Rey Resource’s Duchess Paradise Project. By the exemption applications, Blackfin claims that it is entitled to be exempt from incurring the required expenditure amount associated with the tenements on various grounds. Following the hearing of the exemption applications the Warden will recommend to the Minister the grant or refusal of the certificates of exemption from expenditure. By the forfeiture applications, Mineralogy is claiming that Blackfin has failed to comply with its expenditure obligations, and such failure is of sufficient gravity to justify forfeiture of the tenements. The parties will have an opportunity to provide submissions to the Minister regarding the recommendations of the Warden following the hearings of the applications for exemption and the forfeiture applications. On hearing the applications for forfeiture, the Warden can dismiss the applications, recommend that a tenement (or tenements) be forfeited or impose a fine of up to $10,000 per tenement. The Company is vigorously defending the applications for forfeiture and, on the basis of the past and planned expenditure on the Canning Basin Coal tenements (and further expenditure it has incurred), the Company considers that it will successfully defend the applications. No conclusion has yet been reached and the matters are set for further hearings by the Warden no earlier than 1 August 2011. The carrying value of the exploration and evaluation expenditure at 30 June 2011 is $3.1 million pertaining to the 11 tenements. 68 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) 12 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES in thousands of dollars Unsecured liabilities Trade payables Sundry payables and accrued expenses 2011 2010 2,190 523 2,713 106 547 653 The Group’s exposure to currency and liquidity risk related to trade and other payables is disclosed in note 22. 13 LOANS AND BORROWINGS This note provides information about the contractual terms of the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings, which are measured at amortised cost.

In January 2008, Gujarat and Rey Resources entered into an agreement by which Gujarat paid $275,000 to Rey Resources as consideration for a 90% interest in two Petroleum Exploration Permits (EP 457 and EP 458) (“Petroleum Permits). Gujarat is obliged to spend $4.85 million over six years on the Petroleum Permits and Rey Resources will retain a 10% interest in the permits which is carried free until the grant of a petroleum production licences, after which the parties are to contribute according to their interest. Under the joint venture arrangement, Gujarat is responsible as operator for execution of the exploration workplan. Rey Resources is free carried (by loan) until a production licence is granted. Gujarat did not complete the agreed workplan and has applied for a suspension from the Department of Mines and Petroleum. No liability or expenses have been incurred by the Group. During the quarter ended December 2010, Gujarat, as operator, reported to Rey Resources that it was unable to gain access to the ground the subject of the Petroleum Permits to undertake planned seismic activities due to heritage obligations. Gujarat applied for, and was granted, a 12 month suspension and extension of the work program obligations in relation to each of the Petroleum Permits by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum.

The plan is subject to ASX listing rules. In accordance with these programmes, options are exercisable at the market price of the Share at the date of the grant. Share performance rights programme (equity-settled) On 29 November 2010, the Group established a share performance rights programme. The plan enables eligible participants to be granted rights to acquire Shares subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Subject to adjustments for any bonus issues of Shares and capital reorganisations, one Share will be issued on the exercise of each right which vests or becomes exercisable. No amount is payable by employees in respect of the grant or exercise or rights. The plan operates through a series of incentive rights offers. The Board in its absolute discretion will determine in respect of each offer, eligible employees to whom offers will be made. The Board will determine the terms and conditions that will apply to each offer, that may also vary between offers. Two types of incentive rights may be offered under this plan: (i) Share retention rights which vest based on completion of a period of service; and (ii) Share performance rights which vest based on the achievement of certain performance objectives. The number of share retention rights offered to a participant will be calculated by applying the following formula: Number of share retention rights = Base Salary x Target Retention LTI% Right Value The number of share performance rights offered to a participant will be calculated by applying the following formula: Number of share retention rights = Base Salary x Target Performance LTI% Adjusted Right Value There is an annual measurement period applicable to each tranche in each offer under the plan. The measurement period relates to the period in which service and performance conditions must be satisfied for the incentive rights to vest. Share Rights allocated to Directors are subject to Absolute Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) test and the employee remaining in employment during the measurement periods. The measurement period that relate to share rights allocated to directors are: • First test period: 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2013 • Second test period: 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2014. 74 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) At the end of the measurement period (either first or second), the following vesting scale will be applied to the share rights given to directors. This will be based on the compound annual growth rate over the relevant period. The retest pf provision only applies if none of the share rights for directors vest at the end of the First Test Period. Vesting Scale: Performance Level Threshold & Target & 10% & <15% 15% >15% & <20% ≥20% Vesting% 0% 25% Pro rata 50% Pro rata 100% In relation to the share rights granted to the executive key management personnel, the Board will determine the service and/or performance conditions that need to be satisfied for incentive rights to vest along with the relationship between the various potential levels of performance and levels of vesting that may occur. Performance conditions will be determined by the Board for each tranche of each offer and may vary between offers. Following the end of the measurement period, the Board will determine for each tranche of incentive rights to which the measurement period applies, the extent to which they vest. If the incentive rights in a tranche have not vested and there is no opportunity for those incentive rights to vest at a later date, they lapse.

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows: in thousands of dollars Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Total Financial liabilities At amortised cost Total Carrying amount 2011 2010 3,315 1,896 5,211 2,997 2,997 10,515 751 11,266 704 704 Financial risk management framework The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Group does not use any form of derivatives for speculative purposes. The Group is not at a level of exposure that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure. The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are liquidity risk and market risk which includes interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group limits its exposure to credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with banks by only dealing with reputable banks with high credit ratings. In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties. The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk as there were no trading operations during the year. At 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010, there was no allowance for doubtful debts and there were no receivables past due but not impaired. However, during the year ended 30 June 2010, an impairment loss of $188,792 was recognised directly to profit or loss for a GST receivable that was considered not recoverable. Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 83 Notes to financial statements (continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’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 Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring that adequate uncommitted funding is available and maintained. The following are the expected maturities of financial assets and the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements: 2011 In thousands of dollars Financial assets Carrying amount Expected/ contractual cash flows 6 mths or less 6-12 mths 1-2 years 2-5 years More than 5 years Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables 3,315 1,861 3,315 1,896 3,315 1,159 5,176 5,211 4,474 Financial liabilities Trade and other payables 2,713 2,713 2,713 243 41 243 41 150 4 2,997 2,997 2,867 – – – – 80 4 84 – 737 737 – – 33 33 – – – – 13 – 13 – – – – – – – Provisions Loans and borrowings Total 2010 In thousands of dollars Financial assets Carrying amount Expected/ contractual cash flows 6 mths or less 6-12 mths 1-2 years 2-5 years More than 5 years Cash and cash equivalents 10,515 10,515 10,515 Trade and other receivables 751 751 218 11,266 11,266 10,733 Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Provisions Loans and borrowings Total 653 51 50 754 653 51 50 754 653 51 50 754 – – – – – – – – 533 533 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 84 Rey Resources Annual Report 2011 Notes to financial statements (continued) Currency risk The Group is not exposed to currency risk at the reporting date because the Group holds no financial assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is the risk that a financial instrument’s fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates on interest-bearing financial instruments. At the reporting date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets exposed to interest rate risk. There were no financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk. in thousands of dollars Variable rate instruments Cash and cash equivalents Bond deposits Total 2011 2010 3,315 737 4,052 10,515 218 10,733 Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased or decreased profit or loss by $41,000 (2010: $111,000) Fair values The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate fair value. Capital management Management controls the capital of the Group in order to ensure that it can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The Group has no external debt other than as disclosed in these financial statements and there are no externally imposed capital requirements. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing its financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include shares issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by Management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year. 23 OPERATING SEGMENTS The Group operates in one segment being the mining industry and in one geographical location, being Western Australia. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.
