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.

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.

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.

DEFINITIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY 

Rey Resources successfully completed a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) into the development of the company’s 
Duchess Paradise Project in June 2011. 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.

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.

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 previous audit partner in the audit service for two years following their rotation.

The Audit and Risk Committee oversees the terms of engagement of Rey Resources’ external auditor, including

provision of any proposed non-audit services by the external auditor is appropriate.

management of material risks embedded in its business and management systems.

aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include:

Paradise Project

against the actual cost and progress

•  Ensuring the executive management team develops policies, processes and procedures to identify risks and

confirming that the Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, and the 
group’s financial condition and operational results have been prepared accordance with the relevant accounting 
standards.

The  statement  also  confirms  the  integrity  of  the  Company’s  financial  statements  and  notes  to  the  financial 
statements are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which 
implements  the  policies  approved  by  the  Board,  and  that  Rey  Resources’  risk  management  and  internal 
compliance and control systems, to the extent they relate to financial reporting, are operating efficiently and

market confidence in the integrity of dealings in the Company’s securities.

The policy stipulates that the only appropriate time for a director or employee to deal in the Company’s securities is 
when he or she is not in possession of ‘price sensitive information’ that is not generally available to the share market. 
A director wishing to deal in the Company’s securities may only do so after first having received approval from the 
Chairman. All staff wishing to deal must obtain approval from the Managing Director. Confirmation of any dealing 
must also be given by the director or employee to the Company Secretary within two business days after the dealing. 

Trading  in  the  Company’s  securities  is  also  subject  to  specified  blackout  periods,  which  are  set  out  in  the 
Company’s Securities Trading Policy or as otherwise determined by the Board from time to time.

A  copy  of  the  Company’s  Securities  Trading  Policy  is  available  in  the  corporate  policies  section  of  Rey  Resources’

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED

This Remuneration Report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements for Rey Resources 
Limited in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. 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.

Non Executive

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.

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

resource of which part was the basis for a maiden reserve estimation.

The Company raised $12 million via a placement of 60 million shares to new and existing institutional investors 
in December 2010. 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.

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.

Future  information  about  the  likely  developments  in  the  operations  of  the  Group  and  the  expected  results 
of  those  operations  in  future  financial  years  has  not  been  included  in  this  report  because  disclosure  of  the 
information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated group.

During or since the end of the financial period 1,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares were issued at $0.0871 per 
share on the exercise of options. 1,500,000 options lapsed in accordance with their terms of issue in August 2011.

14  ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURE

The Group’s operations are subject to various laws governing the protection of the environment in areas such 
as air and water quality, waste emission and disposal, environmental impact assessments, mine rehabilitation 
and access to, and use of, ground water. 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

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. 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors.

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.

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.

(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)

(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.

The ultimate recoupment of balances carried forward in relation to areas of interest still in the exploration or 
evaluation phase is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale of 
the respective areas.

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.

JOINT VENTURE INTERESTS

Participation and joint venture operating agreements in respect of two Exploration Permit Applications, EP10/04-
5 and EP11/04-5, were finalised on August 2007 with Gujarat NRE Mineral Resources Limited (“Gujarat”) and 
Gujarat NRE Oil Pty Limited.

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.

20  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Description of the share-based payment arrangements 

The Group has the following share-based payment arrangements:

Share option programme (equity-settled)

On  2  June  2006,  the  Group  established  a  share  option  programme  that  entitles  key  management  personnel 
(“KMP”) to purchase shares in the Company. 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:

≥20%

Vesting%

Pro rata

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.

Inputs for measurement of grant date fair values

The grant date fair value of the rights granted, the vesting conditions of which were subject to the Company’s 
absolute total shareholder return over the measurement period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2013, was measured 
based on Monte Carlo simulation model. The grant date fair value of other share-based payments was measured 
based on the fair value of the shares on the grant date and for options issued fair value was measured based on 
the Black-Scholes valuation model. 

The  inputs  used  in  the  measurement  of  the  fair  values  at  grant  date  of  the  share-based  payment  plans, 
which were subject to the vesting conditions relating to the Company’s absolute total shareholder return are

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Categories of financial instruments

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable and 
hire purchase liabilities.

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 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:

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.

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.
