chairman’s letter

Dear Shareholder,

It is a pleasure to present Breaker Resources NL’s (Breaker) inaugural Annual Report as an ASX-listed company.

Breaker listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 20 April 2012 after a successful $8.5 million initial public offering (IPO) with Patersons 

Securities Limited as Lead Manager. The Company’s IPO received strong support from international and domestic institutions that account 

for over 50% of the shares issued with Directors holding an additional 25%. 

Breaker’s objective is gold discovery in the largely unexplored eastern half of Australia’s premier gold province, Western Australia’s Eastern 

Goldfields Superterrane, where Breaker is the largest tenement holder. 

Breaker commenced screening its tenements for large gold deposit signatures in May 2012, and in August 2012 announced positive early 

exploration results at the Dexter Project (our first project tested). The size, strength and nature of the soil anomaly at the Dexter Project is very 

exciting and is comparable with early stage soil results from significant gold discoveries in the region such as Tropicana and Garden Well. We 

are currently preparing the Dexter Project for drilling to assess its economic potential.

Breaker has implemented a number of strategies and techniques in its business model to significantly increase the probability of discovery. 

One of the things I came to realize as a result of living in the Kalgoorlie area for 23 years was to never bet against the ability of Eastern 

Goldfields to yield substantial gold discoveries. The best place to find gold is where it is most abundant which is why we are exploring in this 

area. To further increase the probability of discovery, the Company is targeting previously unexplored areas located on or adjacent to major 

faults that are known to be the critical in the formation of large gold deposits. The probability of making a discovery is further enhanced by 

having a large tenement holding, and the ability to apply new geochemical techniques to cost-effectively screen for large deposit signatures in 

a way that was not possible 15 years ago. It also helps to have access to new data and ideas flowing from 10 years of intensive research that 

dispels the perception of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane as a mature gold province.

Based on these “stacked” probabilities, my personal view is that discovery is likely. The early results from the Dexter Project are encouraging 

and highly unusual and I expect that positive results from other projects will follow.

I would like to thank our shareholders for their support and to express my appreciation to my fellow Directors for their efforts during the year. 

On behalf of the Board, a special thanks also to our outstanding exploration and management team without whom none of our achievements 

would be possible.

I look forward to the year ahead with great anticipation.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Sanders
Chairman

operations report

Overview

Breaker Resources NL is an Australian exploration company pursuing new opportunities for gold discovery in the largely unexplored Yamarna 

and Burtville Terranes, located in the eastern part of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane, Western Australia, which is responsible for 75% of 

Australia’s gold endowment.

Breaker is the largest tenement holder in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane with a 100% interest in eight exploration projects with a total area 
of ~5,500 km2. The Company’s projects are located in the emerging Yamarna and Burtville Terranes and include 190 km of the Yamarna Shear 
Zone, four previously undrilled greenstone belts, and several other large crustal faults. 

Breaker’s objective is early discovery in an unexplored part of Australia’s premier gold province. The Company’s main exploration tools 

are modern, geochemical techniques that provide not only a cost-effective tool for discovery, but a mechanism for sound exploration risk 

management that takes advantage of the Company’s large portfolio. Breaker initially plans to screen its portfolio for large gold deposit 

signatures.  Areas with known gold-in-soil anomalies (Dexter North, Mt Gill, Kurrajong South) will be prioritised. Drilling will then be conducted 

on the best geochemical targets, and will be accelerated in areas where encouraging drill results are obtained.

Background

Breaker applied for its tenements in November 2010 in response to new data releases and a decade of intensive research which led to a new 

understanding of the timing, distribution and nature of gold mineralizing events in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane.

Breaker’s projects target major crustal faults located adjacent to regional anticlines, unexplored greenstone belts, and fault bends—where gold 

deposits in the well-explored western part of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane are known to be most common.

Operations Summary

Exploration undertaken since listing on the Australian Securities 

Exchange on 20 April 2012 includes the following: 

Multi-element auger geochemical drilling commenced in the central 
part of the Dexter project in late-May and moved to the Mt Gill project 

in July following heritage clearance. The Dexter sampling identified a 

previously unknown, potentially significant 25 km-long gold trend that is 

currently being evaluated. Assay results from Mt Gill are pending. 

Six native title heritage surveys on Cosmo Newbery land were 
completed at the Mt Gill, Attila West, Kurrajong South, Mt Sefton, De La 

Poer and Kurrajong North to obtain access for first phase exploration.

Wide-spaced reconnaissance aircore drilling was completed in 
the central portion of the Dexter project (37 holes for 2,829 m) and in the southern part of the Attila West project (46 holes for 2,303 m). The 

objective of the drilling was to test for Archean bedrock alteration signatures beneath Permian cover rocks, and to assess the thickness and 

nature of the cover rocks. 

Approximately 50,000 line km of detailed aeromagnetics/radiometrics (100m line spacing) were flown at the Dexter, Attila West, Duketon 
North and De La Poer projects to provide baseline data in areas previously covered by wide-spaced government data.

High resolution satellite data was acquired and existing aeromagnetic and radiometric data was processed and imaged (all projects).

A Trial ground Electromagnetic (EM) survey was undertaken at the Kingston project (seven lines, 100m spacing).

DEXTER PROJECT

The Dexter Project is located 140 km south-southeast 

of Laverton and comprises three tenements with an 
overall area of 1,103 km2. The project is 75km along 
strike from the Attila and Central Bore gold deposits.

The Dexter Project straddles the intersection of the 

Yamarna and Dexter Shear Zones near the southern 

margin of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. The 

project includes 27 km of the Yamarna Shear, and  

65 km of the Dexter Shear. Historical partial-coverage 

soil geochemistry by WMC Ltd in the mid-1990s 

encountered anomalous gold-in-soil values up to  

32 ppb gold in E38/2695 in the northern part of the 

project. Follow-up drilling was not undertaken.

Breaker commenced a wide-spaced (1,600m x 400m 

pattern; 792 samples) multi-element soil auger program 

in late May 2012 to screen for large gold deposit 
signatures at the junction of the Yamarna and Dexter 

Shears, close to a domal granite intrusion. The auger 

soil program covers approximately one third of 

the project area. 

Dexter Project: Interpreted Geology

6    BREAKER RESOURCES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

operations report continued

The soil auger program identified a previously unknown 25 km-long gold trend concealed by weathered Permian cover rocks which is open 

along strike. 

The gold-in-soil anomalies have peak gold values of 50 ppb gold and are associated with anomalous mercury, copper, zinc and silver which 

indicate a likely Archean bedrock source. The strongest gold-in-soil anomalies have a close spatial association with several fault bends 

apparent in aeromagnetic data which suggests that the anomalies are directly on top of a bedrock source with little lateral transport.

The strength and coherence of the gold-in-soil values emanating from a likely Archean basement under 40m to 70m of Permian cover is 

unusual in the Eastern Goldfields.  By comparison, the Tropicana gold deposit, 80 km to the SW, has 15m to 20m of transported cover with a 

peak soil anomaly of 31 ppb gold in what appears to be a similar geomorphological setting.

The initial soil auger results at Dexter are very encouraging and give us confidence in our strategy and methodology.  Infill 400m x 100m 

auger soil sampling to assess the economic potential of the soil anomalies is in progress in preparation for aircore and follow-up RC drilling to 

commence in late October/early November 2012.

Breaker was awarded a grant of $150,000 for co-funding of drilling at the Dexter project under the WA Government’s Exploration Incentive 

Scheme. Breaker will be required to match the $150,000 funding grant on a dollar-for-dollar basis on direct drilling costs.

MT GILL PROJECT

The Mt Gill Project is located 135 km northeast of Laverton and comprises two tenements with an area of 518 km2, situated 12 km along strike 
from the Khan North gold deposit.

The project includes 17 km of the Yamarna greenstone belt and 35 km of the central structural zone of Yamarna Shear Zone. Historical 

exploration is limited to soil sampling over a 14 km-long zone in the footwall of the Yamarna Shear by WMC in the mid-1990s. Soil anomalies 

up to 33 ppb gold were identified in sandy soils but no drilling was undertaken. 

Mt Gill and Kurrajong North Projects: Interpreted Geology

A native title heritage survey was successfully 

completed at the Mt Gill project in preparation for first 

phase exploration. Multi-element auger geochemical 

drilling commenced at the Mt Gill project in late July 

2012 and 772 samples were collected on a 1,600m 

x 400m pattern. Assay results are pending.

The available open file 200m-spaced aeromagnetic 

and radiometric data was reprocessed and imaged, 

and high resolution satellite data was acquired.

ATTILA WEST PROJECT

The Attila West Project is located 130 km east-northeast of Laverton and comprises three tenements with an area of 919 km2, 2 km west of 
the Attila gold deposit, and 6 km west of the Central Bore gold deposit.

The project includes 3.5 km of the Yamarna Shear, and 50 km of the western and central structural zones in the footwall of the Yamarna Shear 

Zone. Historical exploration is limited. The project is dominated by a large domal granite intrusion in the footwall of the Yamarna Shear. 

A native title heritage survey was successfully completed in the northern part of the Attila West to facilitate access first phase exploration 

on Aboriginal reserve land. High resolution satellite data was acquired and the available open file aeromagnetic and radiometric data was 

reprocessed and imaged. 

A detailed 14,001 line km aeromagnetic/radiometric survey (100m line spacing; 45m height) was flown to provide baseline data for structural 

analysis.

Attila West and Kurrajong South Projects: Interpreted Geology

Wide-spaced reconnaissance aircore drilling was completed in the southern part of the Attila West project (46 holes for 2,303 m). The objective 

of the drilling was to test for bedrock alteration beneath Permian cover rocks and to assess the thickness and nature of the cover rocks in the 

vicinity of intersecting structural features apparent from aeromagnetic data.  The drilling confirmed generally thin (10m-25m) Permian cover, 

with localised areas of thicker cover possibly related to palaeochannels. End of hole multi-element assay data for Archean bedrock samples 

are pending.

KURRAJONG PROJECT

The Kurrajong Project is located in the Yamarna Terrane, 175 km east-northeast of Laverton and consists of two granted large-area prospects 
(Kurrajong South and Kurrajong North) with an overall area of 728 km2.

The project targets extensive strike lengths of the Dorothy Hills greenstone belt intruded by a number of domal granite intrusions, and situated 

adjacent to a major fault highlighted by recent government surveys. At the Kurrajong South Prospect, historical gold-in-soil values of up to  

45 ppb gold were identified in sand by WMC in 1997 but no drilling was undertaken. 

BREAKER RESOURCES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT   9     

A native title heritage survey was successfully completed at the Kurrajong South prospect in preparation for first phase auger geochemical 

and scout aircore drilling. High resolution satellite data was acquired, and the available open file aeromagnetic and radiometric data was 

reprocessed and imaged.

A native title heritage survey recently completed at the Kurrajong North (E38/2536) prospect has highlighted areas of sensitivity that preclude 

further access to this area. As a result, no further exploration will be undertaken on E38/2536.

MT SEFTON PROJECT

The 211 km2 Mt Sefton Project is located 80km east-northeast of 
Laverton and 50 km along strike from historic gold mineralization at 

Cosmo Newbery.

The Mt Sefton Project targets gold mineralization in a small, previously 

undrilled greenstone belt situated within a large zone of deformation 

termed the Sefton Lineament. Anomalous gold-in-soil results were 

obtained from a soil geochemical program in the mid-1990s but were 

not drilled due to the lack of a native title access agreement. 

A native title heritage survey was successfully completed at the Mt 

Sefton project to facilitate access for first phase exploration. High 

resolution satellite data was acquired, and the available open file 

aeromagnetic and radiometric data was reprocessed and imaged.

DUKETON NORTH PROJECT

The Duketon North Project is located 160km north-northwest of Laverton, 50 km north of the Moolart Well and Garden Well gold deposits.  
The Project consists of three tenements with a total area of 527 km2.

The Duketon North Project targets gold along a 42 km strike length of the Hootanui Shear, a major fault zone that separates the Kurnalpi and 

Burtville Terranes. Historical exploration consists of a single, fence of aircore drill holes (3 km spacing) undertaken by BHP Ltd in the mid-

1990s. The drilling encountered greenstone that is spatially associated with an elongated magnetic low located parallel to the Hootanui Shear. 

No systematic historical geochemistry has been completed. Outcrop is limited and sand cover is thin (<2m).

Duketon North and De La Poer Projects: Interpreted Geology

10    BREAKER RESOURCES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

operations report continued

High resolution satellite data was acquired, and the available open 

file aeromagnetic and radiometric data was reprocessed and 

imaged. A 6,283 line km detailed aeromagnetic/radiometric survey 

(100m line spacing, 45m height) was flown to provide baseline data 

for structural analysis.

DE LA POER PROJECT

The De La Poer Project is located in the Burtville Terrane, 130km 

northeast of Laverton and 40 km northeast of the Moolart Well gold  
mine and comprises five tenements with a total area of 870 km2.

The De La Poer project targets gold along a 120 km strike length of 

the De La Poer Fault and includes the unexplored Deleta greenstone 

belt. The De La Poer project is largely unexplored. Historical 

exploration is limited to the far northern and far southern areas of 

the Project. Rock chip sampling in the far northern area located 

quartz-magnetite float with assays up to 1.4 g/t gold. Systematic 

geochemistry has not previously been undertaken. 

High resolution satellite data was acquired, and the available open 

file aeromagnetic and radiometric data was reprocessed and 

imaged. A native title heritage survey was completed in the southern 

part of the project within the Cosmo Newbery Reserve (E38/2516) to 

facilitate access for first phase exploration.

A 12,918 line kilometre detailed aeromagnetic/radiometric survey 

(100m line spacing, 45m height) was flown over the northern part 

of the De La Poer project (E38/2517-E38/2520) to provide baseline 

data for structural analysis. 

KINGSTON PROJECT

The 455 km2 Kingston Project is located in the Yamarna Terrane,  
200 km north-northeast of Laverton and 150 km north-northwest of 

the Attila and Central Bore gold deposits. The project is prospective  

for gold and nickel mineralization.

The Kingston Project targets a previously undrilled 35 km-long Archean greenstone belt located close to a prominent bend in the Yamarna 

Shear near the northern margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Historical exploration previously indicated Paleoproterozoic and Permian cover rocks 

up to 200m in thickness. More recent geophysical analysis indicates that the cover rocks are substantially thicker (400m-500m) and may limit 

further exploration by Breaker.

Government geophysical surveys highlight a coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly over an Archean greenstone belt intruded by a granite 

pluton. A government geochemical survey encountered anomalous arsenic, antimony, bismuth, molybdenum, tin, tungsten and selenium 

indicating potential for gold mineralization. Anomalous nickel-copper-chrome values suggest the presence of ultramafic rocks.

BREAKER RESOURCES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT   11     

Kingston Project: Interpreted Geology

High resolution satellite data was acquired, and the available open file aeromagnetic and radiometric data was reprocessed and imaged. A 

trial ground EM survey (seven wide-spaced lines, 100m stations) was completed to assess whether the project is amenable airborne EM. After 

taking into account the outcome of a revised aeromagnetic interpretation by independent consultants, which indicates that the cover rocks 

are 400m-500m in thickness, it appears unlikely that any TEM methods would penetrate the thick cover rocks and detect mineralization in the 

Archean basement. Alternative options are now being considered.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 

No matters or circumstances, besides those disclosed at note 16, have arisen since the end of the year which significantly affected or may 
significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial 
periods.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The Company expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the entity’s 
operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE 

The Company is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities.

The Company aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in 
compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Company are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the 
year under review.

The directors have considered the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national 
reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy 
use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect 
on the Company for the current, nor subsequent, financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

REMUNERATION REPORT  

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Breaker Resources NL has been designed to align key management personnel objectives with shareholder and 
business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long term incentives based on key performance areas 
affecting the Company’s financial results. The board of Breaker Resources NL believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective 
in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel to run and manage the Company.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives (if any) of the Company is 
as follows: 

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board. 
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service, performance and experience) and superannuation. 
The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable 
information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 

The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain the 
highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long term growth in shareholder wealth. 

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. 

Key management personnel receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%. Some 
individuals may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to key management 
personnel are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the key management personnel. 
Options are valued using the Black Scholes methodology. 

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and 
responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market 
practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can 
be paid to non executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $300,000). Fees for non 
executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the 
directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Performance based remuneration 

The company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into key management personnel remuneration packages.

BREAKER RESOURCES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT   15     

Company performance, shareholder wealth and key management personnel remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders’ investment objectives and key 
management personnel performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of key management personnel 
to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder 
wealth. At commencement of mine production, performance based bonuses based on key performance indicators are expected to be 
introduced. For details of key management personnel interests in options at year end, refer to note 12 of the financial statements.

Use of remuneration consultants

The Company did not employ the services of any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

Details of remuneration

Details of the remuneration of the key management personnel of the Company (including the Directors) are set out in the following table. 

The requirement to disclose remuneration for the top five remunerated Company executives was removed by the Corporations Amendment 
(Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011, effective for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 
2011. For comparative purposes only, the table below includes the remuneration for the 2011 financial year for those employees who were 
classified as executives but who do not meet the definition of key management personnel. Hence their remuneration for the 2012 financial year 
is not disclosed.

INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 

During the financial year, Breaker Resources NL paid a premium of $10,695 to insure the directors and secretary of 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.

NON AUDIT SERVICES 

The following non audit services were provided by the entity’s auditor, Rothsay Chartered Accountants, or associated entities.  The directors 
are satisfied that the provision of non audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as set out below, did not compromise 
the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

−  All non-audit services have been reviewed by the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the 

auditor;

−  None of the services undermine the general standard of independence for auditors.

Rothsay Chartered Accountants received or are due to receive the following amounts for the provision of non audit services:

corporate governance statement  

Role of the Board of Directors

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

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

The Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

(a)  maintain and increase Shareholder value;

(b)  ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and activities;

(c)  ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:

(a)  developing initiatives for profit and asset growth;

(b)  reviewing the corporate, commercial and financial performance of the Company on a regular basis;

(c)  acting on behalf of, and being accountable to, the Shareholders; and,

(d) 

identifying business risks and implementing actions to manage those risks and corporate systems to assure quality.

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ 
participation in the Board discussions on a fully informed basis.

Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting. However, subject thereto, the 
Company is committed to the following principles:

(a) 

the Board is to comprise persons with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the Company and its 
business; and

(b)  the principal criterion for the appointment of new directors is their ability to add value to the Company and its business.

Two of the three Directors of the Company are independent. In determining whether or not directors are independent, the 
Board applies the criteria as set out in the ASX recommendations.

The role of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is currently exercised by the same person. . It is the Board’s intention to 
appoint an independent Chairman when the size of the Company and its activities warrant it. In the meantime, the Company 
will appoint an independent director (or a director who does not have a conflict of interest)to take over the role of the Chair 
when the Chair is unable to act in that capacity as a result of his or her lack of independence

Appointments to Other Boards

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

Independent Professional Advice

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

Continuous Review of Corporate Governance

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

ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance

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

Notes to the Financial Statements  

30 JUNE 2012

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The financial statements are for 
Breaker Resources NL as an individual entity. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Breaker Resources NL is a 
company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 28 
September 2012. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Breaker Resources NL is a for-profit entity for the 
purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(i) Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of Breaker Resources NL also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued 
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Company

None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2011 
affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and isnot likely to affect future periods.

(iii) Early adoption of standards

The Company has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2011.

(iv) Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale 
financial assets, which have been measured at fair value.

(b) Segment reporting

An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur 
expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to 
be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The 
chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been 
identified as the full Board of Directors.

(c) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income  
tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused  
tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period 
in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associated operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates 
positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions 
where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises 
from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially 
enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax 
liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts 
will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in 
controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the 
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the 
deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income 
or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(d) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount 
by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs 
to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-
financial assets other than goodwill that suffer impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial 
institutions, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. 

(f) Trade and other receivables

Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is 
made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.

(g) Financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies all of its financial assets as loans and receivables. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial 
recognition.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are 
included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current 
assets.

Collectability of loans and receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing 
the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will 
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables or in an otherwise timely manner. The amount of the 
impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated future cash flows. None of the Group’s loans 
and receivables has an applicable interest rate hence the cash flows are not discounted.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within impairment expenses. When a loan or 
receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against 
the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular	purchases	and	sales	of	financial	assets	are	recognised	on	trade-date	–	the	date	on	which	the	Group	commits	to	purchase	or	sell	the	
asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or 
loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred 
and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Impairment

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. 
If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Group’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference 
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, excluding future credit losses that have not been 
incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

(h) Plant and equipment

All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that 
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying 
amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged 
to the statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

30    BREAKER RESOURCES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Financial Statements continued  

30 JUNE 2012

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual 
values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease 
term. All plant and equipment is depreciated at the rate of 25% per annum.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated 
recoverable amount (note 1(d)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

(i) Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred.

(j) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The 
amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms.

(k) Employee benefits

Wages and salaries and annual leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting 
date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected 
to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(l) Share-based payments

The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby 
employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’); refer to note 19.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. 
The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the 
performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the 
vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion 
is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions 
being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for 
the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award 
on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award.

Options over ordinary shares have also been issued as consideration for the acquisition of interests in tenements and other services. These 
options have been treated in the same manner as employee options described above, with the expense being included as part of exploration 
expenditure.

(m) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the 
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the 
taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or 
payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are 
recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(o) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. The 
Company’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. New standards and interpretations not 
mentioned are considered unlikely to impact on the financial reporting of the Company.

AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, 
as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The Company has not yet determined any potential impact on 
the financial statements.

The key changes made to accounting requirements include:

•	

•	

•	

•	

simplifying	the	classifications	of	financial	assets	into	those	carried	at	amortised	cost	and	those	carried	at	fair	value;

simplifying	the	requirements	for	embedded	derivatives;

removing	the	tainting	rules	associated	with	held-to-maturity	assets;

removing	the	requirements	to	separate	and	fair	value	embedded	derivatives	for	financial	assets	carried	at	amortised	cost;

•	 allowing	an	irrevocable	election	on	initial	recognition	to	present	gains	and	losses	on	investments	in	equity	instruments	that	are	not	held	for	
trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in 
profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;

•	

•	

requiring	financial	assets	to	be	reclassified	where	there	is	a	change	in	an	entity’s	business	model	as	they	are	initially	classified	based	on:	(a)	
the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and

requiring	an	entity	that	chooses	to	measure	a	financial	liability	at	fair	value	to	present	the	portion	of	the	change	in	its	fair	value	due	to	
changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a 
mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the 
credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

AASB 1053: Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010–2:  Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 101, 102, 107, 108, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 119, 121, 123, 124, 
127, 128, 131, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138, 140, 141, 1050 & 1052 and Interpretations 2, 4, 5, 15, 17, 127, 129 & 1052] (applicable for annual 
reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013)

AASB 1053 establishes a revised differential financial reporting framework consisting of two tiers of financial reporting requirements for those 
entities preparing general purpose financial statements:

•	 Tier	1:	Australian	Accounting	Standards;	and

•	 Tier	2:	Australian	Accounting	Standards	–	Reduced	Disclosure	Requirements.

Tier 2 of the framework comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1, but contains significantly fewer 
disclosure requirements.

The following entities are required to apply Tier 1 reporting requirements (ie full IFRS):

•	

•	

for-profit	private	sector	entities	that	have	public	accountability;	and

the	Australian	Government	and	state,	territory	and	local	governments.

Since the Company is a for-profit private sector entity that has public accountability, it does not qualify for the reduced disclosure requirements 
for Tier 2 entities.

AASB	2010–2	makes	amendments	to	Australian	Accounting	Standards	and	Interpretations	to	give	effect	to	the	reduced	disclosure	
requirements for Tier 2 entities.  It achieves this by specifying the disclosure paragraphs that a Tier 2 entity need not comply with as well as 
adding specific “RDR” disclosures.

AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2011) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 
112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applies to periods beginning 
on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard makes amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a consequence of the issuance of 
AASB 9: Financial Instruments in December 2010. Accordingly, these amendments will only apply when the entity adopts AASB 9.

As noted above, the Company has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements from adopting AASB 9.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

AASB 2010–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (applies to 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes.

The amendments brought in by this Standard introduce a more practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets 
when investment property is measured using the fair value model under AASB 140: Investment Property.

Under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to 
recover an asset by using it or by selling it. The amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through 
sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of 
the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

The amendments brought in by this Standard also incorporate Interpretation 121 into AASB 112.

The amendments are not expected to impact the Company.

AASB 2010–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters 
[AASB 1] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011/1 January 2013)

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards.

The amendments brought in by this Standard provide relief for first-time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards from having to 
reconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards.

Furthermore, the amendments brought in by this Standard also provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either to 
resume presenting Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements or to present Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements 
for the first time.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Company.

AASB 2010–10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB 2009–11  
& AASB 2011–7] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This	Standard	makes	amendments	to	AASB	2009–11:	Amendments	to	Australian	Accounting	Standards	arising	from	AASB	9,	and	AASB	
2011–7:	Amendments	to	Australian	Accounting	Standards	arising	from	AASB	9	(December	2010).

The amendments brought in by this Standard ultimately affect AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards and provide 
relief for first-time adopters from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their transition date.

[The	amendments	to	AASB	2009–11	will	only	affect	early	adopters	of	AASB	2009–11	(and	AASB	9:	Financial	Instruments	that	was	issued	in	
December	2009)	as	it	has	been	superseded	by	AASB	2010–7.]

This Standard is not expected to impact the Company.

AASB 1054: Australian Additional Disclosures (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard is as a consequence of phase 1 of the joint Trans-Tasman Convergence project of the AASB and FRSB.

This Standard relocates all Australian specific disclosures from other standards to one place and revises disclosures in the following areas:

•	 compliance	with	Australian	Accounting	Standards;

•	

the	statutory	basis	or	reporting	framework	for	financial	statements;

•	 whether	the	financial	statements	are	general	purpose	or	special	purpose;

•	 audit	fees;	and

•	

imputation	credits.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Company.

AASB 2011-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence project – Reduced disclosure 
regime [AASB 101 & AASB 1054] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013)

This Standard makes amendments to the application of the revised disclosures to Tier 2 entities that are applying AASB 1053.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Company.

AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial 
Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and Interpretation 112Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.

The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for 
applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when 
holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. This Standard is not expected to impact the Company.

BREAKER RESOURCES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT   33     

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

AASB 11: Joint Arrangements (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This	Standard	replaces	AASB	131	Interests	in	Joint	Ventures	and	Interpretation	113	Jointly-Controlled	Entities	–	Non-monetary	Contributions	
by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control 
exists may change. In addition, AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. 
Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint 
operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of 
those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. This may 
result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the Company.

AASB 12: Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures entities. 
New disclosures have been introduced about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require 
summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests. The 
Company has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements.

AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard establishes a single source of guidance under AASB for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not 
change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value under AASB when fair value is 
required or permitted by AASB. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets.

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the 
assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. The Company has not yet determined any 
potential impact on the financial statements.

AASB 119: Employee Benefits (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)

The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for 
accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognized in full with actuarial gains and losses being 
recognized in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The definition of short-term 
benefits has been revised, meaning some annual leave entitlements may become long-term in nature with a revised measurement. Similarly the 
timing for recognising a provision for termination benefits has been revised, such that provisions can only be recognised when the offer cannot 
be withdrawn. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10.

Interpretation 20: Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 
January 2013)

This interpretation applies to stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a surface mine. Production stripping costs are to be 
capitalised as part of an asset, if an entity can demonstrate that it is probable future economic benefits will be realised, the costs can be 
reliably measured and the entity can identify the component of an ore body for which access has been improved. This asset is to be called the 
“stripping activity asset”.

The stripping activity asset shall be depreciated or amortised on a systematic basis, over the expected useful life of the identified component of 
the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. The units of production method shall be applied unless another 
method is more appropriate.

(p) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise 
its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, 
or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:

Environmental Issues

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the 
directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe 
such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

Taxation

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the directors. These 
estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, 
and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax 
position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.

(q) Accounting period

The Company was incorporated on 2 July 2010. The comparative information included in these financial statements is for the period from 
incorporation to 30 June 2011.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk 
and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise 
potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be involved 
in this process. The Executive Chairman, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, 
treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management. 

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

As all operations are currently within Australia the Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

(ii) Commodity price risk

Given the current level of operations the Company is not exposed to commodity price risk.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Company policy is to monitor the interest 
rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The 
entire balance of cash and cash equivalents for the Company $6,981,610 (2011: $3,450) is subject to interest rate risk. The weighted average 
interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Company was 1.1% (2011: nil).

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2012, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held 
constant, post-tax loss for the Company would have been $42,950 lower/higher (2011: n/a) as a result of lower/higher interest income from 
cash and cash equivalents.

(b) Credit risk

The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net 
of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

As the Company does not presently have any debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management 
policy is not maintained.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable 
securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Company. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being 
mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The 
Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Company’s current and future funding requirements, 
with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The financial liabilities of the Company are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the statement of financial position. All trade and 
other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.

(d) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All 
financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount due 
to their short term nature.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Company has identified only one reportable segment as exploration activities undertaken in Australia. This 
segment includes activities associated with the determination and assessment of the existence of commercial economic reserves, from the 
Company’s mineral assets in this geographic location.

Segment performance is evaluated based on the operating profit and loss and cash flows and is measured in accordance with the Company’s 
accounting policies.

Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available 
against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.

The Company’s ability to use losses in the future is subject to the Company satisfying the relevant tax authority’s criteria for using these losses.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of 
and amounts paid on the shares held.

On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each 
share is entitled to one vote.

Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

(e) Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide 
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the 
primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital 
position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to 
ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as 
required. The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents

Independent Audit Report

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 
BREAKER RESOURCES NL 

Report on the financial report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Breaker Resources NL (the Company”) which comprises 
the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement 
of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, a summary of significant 
accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration. 

Directors Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial 
report  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (including  the  Australian  Accounting 
Interpretations)  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  This  includes  responsibility  for  the maintenance  of  adequate 
accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the 
accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report. The Directors are also responsible 
for the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant 
ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit  engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable 
assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the 
financial report.  The procedures  selected  depend  on  our  judgement,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of 
material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, 
we consider internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in 
order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  to  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the 
appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  in  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  made  by  the 
directors as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a basis  for  our 
audit opinion. 

Independence 

We are independent of the Company, and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional 
ethical requirements and the Corporations Act 2001.
