Kemin Resources plc
("Kemin" or "the Company")
Final Results
Kemin Resources Plc, the molybdenum and tungsten exploration and development company with substantial interests in Kazakhstan, announces its final results for the year ended 31 December 2012.
Highlights
·; Completion of the acquisition of Joint Venture Kazakh-Russian Mining Company LLP by reverse takeover
·; Re-admission to AIM as Kemin Resources Plc (previously GMA Resources Plc)
·; Contract Reinstatement on 31 May 2013, and as a result the conversion of the B Shares into New Ordinary Shares of the Company and the issue of the Loan Shares
·; Board strengthening - Sanzhar Assaubayev, Bill Trew and Aidar Assaubayev have joined the Board as CEO, Non-Executive Chairman and Non Executive Director respectively.
Director's Statement
The loss attributable to Kemin Resources shareholders in the twelve months ended 31 December 2012 was £2.892m (FY 2011: £12.724m loss). The 2011 loss arose primarily from the write down of the Company's Algerian subsidiary Enterprise d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or Spa ("ENOR").
The disposal of ENOR for a nominal sum was finally completed on 17 April 2012. The Company's shares were suspended at that time awaiting the completion of the acquisition of Joint Venture Kazakh-Russian Mining Company LLP ("KRMC") by reverse takeover (the "Acquisition"). Terms used and not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the announcement released by the Company on 4 February 2013.
I am pleased to say that on the anniversary of Kemin's AIM rule 15 designation as an investment company, 17th April 2013, the Company announced the completion of the Acquisition. The Acquisition has given rise to a change of the Company's name from GMA Resources Plc to Kemin Resources Plc and re-admission to AIM as Kemin Resources Plc (EPIC: KEM).
At the completion of the Acquisition the Company issued a total of 148,320,720 B Shares to Bergfolk (133,117,846 B Shares), Strathland (10,642,012 B Shares) and Hanson (4,560,862 B Shares) which carry voting but no economic rights. Additionally, upon completion of the Acquisition the Company completed a capital reorganisation which had the effect of converting every 500 Existing Ordinary Shares into 1 New Ordinary Share and one Deferred Share, resulting in the number of New Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following Admission being 1,236,006.
The Contract Reinstatement occurred on 31 May 2013. As a consequence, the B Shares were automatically converted into New Ordinary Shares of the Company and the Loan Shares issued.
Sanzhar Assaubayev, Bill Trew and Aidar Assaubayev have joined the Board as CEO, Non-Executive Chairman and Non Executive Director respectively.
All costs related to the Acquisition have been paid and a working Capital Facility Agreement set up. Draw down requests may be made by the Company on a monthly basis.
Following the Contract Reinstatement, the Group is now well placed to provide shareholders with the prospect of successfully developing the joint venture assets in Kazakhstan.
The annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012 have been posted today to shareholders together with a notice of AGM which will be held at the offices of SGHMartineau LLP, 5th Floor, One America Square, Crosswall, London EC3N 2SG on 28 June 2013 at 11.00 a.m. These documents are also in the process of being added to the Company's website, www.keminresources.com, in accordance with AIM Rule 20

Financial Risk Management
Information relating to the Group's financial risk management is set out in Note 16 of the financial statements.
Employees
The Group provides opportunities for training, career development and promotion to all employees in accordance with their skills and abilities. The Group supports the recruitment of disabled persons where possible. Priority is given to those who become disabled during their employment. The Group endeavours to keep all employees informed on matters affecting them and takes into account the views of employees wherever possible.
Charitable and political contributions
There were no charitable or political contributions made in the year ended 31 December 2012 (2011: £ nil).
Principal risks and uncertainties
During the year the Company's principal activity was that of an investment company and its main risk was that no suitable investment would be identified within the required timeframe.
Key performance indicators
Prior to completion of the Acquisition, the Company was classified as an investing company and no key performance indicators were deemed to be relevant.
The Director's are currently in the process of revising and setting appropriate key performance indicators for the business going forward.
Creditors' payment policy and practice
The Company's policy is to settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of the transaction, ensuring suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment and the need to abide by such terms of payment. Owing to the disposal of ENOR and the reclassification of the company as an investment company there were no trade creditors at the reporting date (2011: 10 days).
Statement of Directors' responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and the Company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP). Under Company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Company and of the profit or loss of the Group for that year. The Directors are also required to prepare financial statements in accordance with the rules of the London Stock Exchange for companies trading securities on the Alternative Investment Market.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
·; select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
·; make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
·; state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union or United Kingdom Accounting Standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
·; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's and Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Website publication
The Directors are responsible for ensuring the annual report and the financial statements are made available on a website. Financial statements are published on the Company's website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements, which may vary from legislation in other jurisdictions. The maintenance and integrity of the Company's website is the responsibility of the Directors. The Directors' responsibility also extends to the ongoing integrity of the financial statements contained therein.
Auditors
All of the current Directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any information needed by the Company's auditors for the purposes of their audit and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. The Directors are not aware of any relevant audit information of which the auditors are unaware.
BDO LLP were appointed as auditors on 5 February 2013.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Kemin Resources Plc
We have audited the group financial statements of Kemin Resources Plc for the year ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the group financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the group financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditscopeukprivate.
Basis for qualified opinion on financial statements
With respect to the amount of £25,024,000 included within loss from discontinued operations (which relates to the Group's former subsidiary, ENOR spa) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the comparative year ended 31 December 2011 and the associated disclosures in the related notes and the consolidated statement of cash flows, the evidence available to us was limited. As a result of the disposal of ENOR spa, we did not have access to the financial records and management of ENOR spa, and have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence concerning the Group's share of any financial activities and cash flows generated in 2011 by ENOR up to the date of loss of control. The audit report on the prior year financial statements was qualified in this respect by the former auditors.
Qualified opinion on financial statements
In our opinion, except for the possible effect of matters included in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the group financial statements:
·; give a true and fair view of the state of the group's affairs as at 31 December 2012 and its loss for the year then ended;
·; have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union; and
·; have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the information given in the directors' report for the financial year for which the group financial statements are prepared is consistent with the group financial statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In respect solely of the limitation on our work relating to discontinued operations, described above:
·; we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
·; we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records had been kept.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following:
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
·; certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made.
Other matter
We have reported separately on the parent company financial statements of Kemin Resources Plc for the year ended 31 December 2012. The opinion in that report is qualified.

1. Accounting policies
Nature of operations and general information
The Group's principal activity was previously that of gold mining, exploration and mine development in Algeria. Kemin Resources Plc is the Group's ultimate parent company and as set out below, it reached an agreement to dispose of its only trading subsidiary during 2011 after which it became an investing company. It is incorporated in England and Wales and has its registered office at One America Square, Crosswall, London EC3N 2SG and its business address at Tower Business Center, Tower Street, Swatar BKR 3013, Malta. The shares of Kemin Resources Plc are quoted on the AIM market which is operated by the London Stock Exchange.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 were approved by the Board of Directors on 5 June 2013.
Basis of preparation
The Group's consolidated financial statements are for the year ended 31 December 2012. They have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below.
The Group prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis. They are presented in Pounds Sterling and are rounded to the nearest thousand (£'000) except where otherwise noted.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with adopted IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas where significant judgements are estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effect are disclosed in note 2.
Prior year restatement
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 have been restated to reflect the disposal of ENOR Spa (ENOR), a 52% subsidiary company of the Company with gold mining operations in Algeria, in the period in which control was lost.
In December 2011 the Company announced that it had agreed the terms of the disposal of its interest in ENOR to Sonatrach, the Algerian company holding the remaining 48% in ENOR. Pursuant to the disposal, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gold Mines of Algeria Pty Ltd (GMA Australia), agreed to transfer its interest in ENOR to Sonatrach for one dinar (less than £1).
ENOR was the only trading asset of the Group, accounting for all its revenues in the year ended 31 December 2011. Consequently, the disposal constituted a fundamental change of business under the AIM Rules and was conditional on the approval of Shareholders at a General Meeting of the Company which was duly passed on 6 January 2012.
Although the formal transfer of ENOR and the settlement of the transaction was formalised in April 2012, in the opinion of the Directors, the actual control over ENOR was lost in December 2011 when Kemin agreed to formally withdraw all of its presence on ENOR's board and relinquished its power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the Board. Consequently, Kemin no longer had the power to govern the financial and operating policies of ENOR since December 2011 at which point ENOR was no longer a subsidiary company of Kemin.
Following the re-statement the Group has not presented the financial position for the beginning of the earliest prior period presented as it was not affected by the restatement.
Previously, the net assets of ENOR were treated as a disposal group at 31 December 2011 and the reconciliation between the previously reported financial position as at 31 December 2011 and the restated financial position are as follows:
31 December 2011 | Adjustment | 31 December 2011 (restated) | |

Going concern
As at 31 December 2012, the Company had cash on hand of £12,000 being the Company's only asset. At the reporting date the Group's liabilities exceeded its assets by £7,978,000.
On 4 February 2013 the Company entered into an agreement, as amended on 10 April 2013, with Amrita Investment Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and ultimately controlled by the Assaubayev family, for the provision of an unsecured £7,000,000 loan facility to be applied toward the Group's working capital requirements and the settlement of any KRMC debts.
The loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR +5%. The loan is repayable on the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the agreement or fundraising completed date in respect of any equity fundraising raising at least £5,000,000 (before expenses) at which point the Lender may chose to convert the loan in the ordinary shares of the Company at the conversion rates stipulated by the agreement.
On 31 May 2013, following the Contract Reinstatement, the unsecured convertible Loan Stock outstanding at the end of the reporting period (note 12) was converted into New Ordinary Shares (note 21).
Following the signing of the Amrita loan agreement and conversion of the Loan Stock, the Directors are confident that the Group has sufficient resources available to meet its liabilities as they fall due and its working capital requirements going forward and have therefore prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.

Basis of consolidation
Where the Company has the power, either directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of another entity or business so as to obtain benefits from its activities, it is classified as a subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between Group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of the acquired operations are included in the consolidated income statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
Segmental reporting
Following the disposal of ENOR the Group no longer has any operating segments. Prior to ENOR's disposal, in the opinion of the Directors, the Group had one operating segment, being the exploration for, development of and production of gold in Algeria and the Group's Chief Operating Decision Makers reviewed the financial information on that basis.
The operating segment's disclosures for 2011 are not presented as the Directors did not have access to sufficient information from ENOR.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions entered into by the Group entities in currencies other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (their "functional currency") are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occurred. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rates ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve.
On disposal of foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in the foreign exchange reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
Impairment of assets
If indicators of impairment arise, an impairment review is performed. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount the carrying value is reduced to its recoverable amount with the impairment recognised in the profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of such assets other than land over their useful economic lives. The periods generally applicable are:
Buildings 12 years
Production machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years
Other equipment 3 to 5 years
Assets under construction are allocated to other depreciable asset categories and are amortised in accordance with the policy set out above, from the date that they are deemed to be complete or in respect of "mining assets", the date that commercial production is deemed to have been achieved. Land is held at cost and is not depreciated.
Financial assets
Financial assets of the Group consist of other receivables and cash.
All financial assets are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are recognised at fair value plus transaction costs.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Trade and other receivables and cash are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value through impairment or reversal of impairment is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial instruments occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at each reporting date whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a Group of financial assets is impaired.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities include bank loans, finance lease liabilities, convertible loan stock, bank overdrafts, trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or other financial assets and are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are recorded initially at fair value, net of direct issue costs.
Subsequently, all financial liabilities are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest-related charges recognised as an expense in finance cost in profit or loss. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are charged to profit or loss on an accruals basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.
A financial liability is derecognised only when the obligation is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised as an expense in 'Finance costs' in the income statement.
Trade payables are recognised initially at their fair value net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost less settlement payments.
The unsecured convertible loan stock comprises both a liability and an equity component. The elements are classified in accordance with their contractual provisions. At the date of issue, the liability component is recorded at fair value, which is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar debt instrument without the equity conversion feature. Thereafter, the liability component is accounted for as a financial liability in accordance with the above.
The residual is the equity component, which is accounted for as an equity instrument.
Upon conversion of loan note debt, a number of ordinary shares will be issued corresponding to the value of the loan note being converted and the agreed conversion value of the loan note. The corresponding carrying value of loan note liability and loan stock reserve are released, and the difference between these and the nominal value of the shares issued on conversion is recognised as share premium. Where the terms of the instrument are revised, the instrument is accounted for as a new instrument.
Income taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities comprise those obligations to fiscal authorities in the countries in which the Group carries out its operations. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal period and the country to which they relate provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. All changes to current tax liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the profit or loss.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. This involves the comparison of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements with their respective tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Share based employee compensation
The Group operates equity settled share based compensation plans for remuneration of its employees.
Directors, employees and consultants services received in exchange for the grant of any share based compensation are measured at their fair values. These are indirectly determined by reference to the share option awarded. Their value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (e.g. profitability or sales growth targets).
All share based compensation is ultimately recognised as an expense in statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding credit to other reserves - share based payments. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of shares options expected to vest. Non market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised, if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. No adjustment to expense recognised in prior periods is made if fewer than originally estimated share options are ultimately exercised.
Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, up to the nominal value of the shares issued are reallocated to share capital with any excess being recorded as share premium.
2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and assumptions
Fair value of financial instruments and share based payments | The Group determines the fair value of financial statements and equity settled share-based payments using valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot always be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, may not be capable of being realised immediately. The methods and assumptions applied, and the valuation techniques used, are disclosed in notes 17 and 20. |
Judgements
Loss of control over ENOR | Despite the formal transfer of ENOR and the settlement of the transaction formalised in April 2012, in the opinion of the Directors, the actual control over ENOR was lost in December 2011 when Kemin agreed to irrevocably withdraw all of its presence on ENOR's Board and relinquished its power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the Board. Refer to note 1 for further details. |

On 25 May 2007 the Company issued £5,700,000 of unsecured convertible loan stock (Loan Stock 1). The loan stock bears a coupon rate of 10% and repayable on 30 June 2009. The repayment date was subsequently extended to 31 December 2011 and then 31 December 2012. The loan stock can be converted at any time into shares of the Company at the holder's option at the rate of 1 share per 5 pence of the loan.
On 29 December 2008 the Company issued £1,190,000 of unsecured convertible loan stock (Loan Stock 2). The loan stock bears a coupon rate of 15% and repayable on 31 December 2011. The repayment date was subsequently extended to 31 December 2012. The loan stock can be converted at any time into shares of the Company at the holder's option at the rate of 1 share per 5 pence of the loan.
On 7 December 2012 the terms of the unsecured convertible bond were amended to extend the maturity date from 31 December 2012 to 31 December 2013. This is considered a substantial modification and has been accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
The fair value of the new liability component at inception was calculated using a market interest rate for an equivalent instrument without conversion option. The discount rate applied was 20%.
On 17 April 2013 the Group announced the completion of the Acquisition. Prior to the completion of theAcquisition, the Loan Stock Holders agreed to convert the Loan Stock into New Ordinary Shares conditional upon the Contract Resinstatement occurring by 31 May 2013.
On the 31 May 2013 the MINT notified the Company that the Subsoil Use Contracts had been re-instated and consequently the Loan Stock had been converted into New Ordinary Shares. A total 2,472,011 New Ordinary Shares have been issued.
13. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise unsecured convertible loan stock and other payables which are measured at amortised cost or fair value. Its principal financial assets comprise cash deposits in banks and other receivables which are all categorised as loans and receivables. These instruments arise from the Group's investing and borrowing activities. The Group is exposed to market risk by virtue of holding financial liabilities and assets. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing the risks arising from the holding of these instruments, such as changes in interest rates and liquidity risks. The Group does not:
·; actively engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes,
·; buy or sell derivative securities or contracts, or
·; execute financial instruments or contracts to hedge its exposure to exchange rates or interest rates. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.
a) Liquidity risk
The Group had £12,000 of net bank balances at the year-end (2011: £22,000). The Directors monitor cash flow on a monthly basis and at Board meetings. The ability of the Group to raise cash is discussed in detail in the "basis of preparation" section in respect of its impact on the going concern assumption and an expected reverse takeover transaction.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities at 31 December 2012 based on contractual undiscounted payments:
£'000 | £'000 | £'000 | £'000 | £'000 | |
Less than 1 year or on demand | More than 1 year but less than 2 years | More than 2 years but less than 5 years | More than 5 years | Total | |

b) Interest rate risk
The Group has no floating rate obligations and thus the sensitivity of the Group to changes in base rate is minimal.
c) Credit risk
The Group's Sterling cash deposits are held with UK regulated financial institutions.
d) Capital management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Management considers as part of its capital, the financial sources of funding from shareholders and third parties with an equity investment in the Group. These are analysed as set out below:
2012 | 2011 | |
£'000 | £'000 | |

17. Share based payments
The Company has recognised a charge of £20,000 (2011: £157,000, 2010: £11,000) in the result for the year in respect of its share-based payment plans. For this purpose, the weighted average estimated fair value for the share option granted was calculated using Black-Scholes option pricing model in respect of options. The volatility measured at the standard deviation of expected share price return is based on statistical analysis of the share price over the 12 months prior to grant. The risk free rate has been taken as 0.68 per cent.
The Company has granted options to certain Directors and employees as follows:
Date Granted
| Option price | Fair value | In issue at 1 January 2012 | Granted number | Lapsed/ forfeited number | In issue at 31 December 2012 |
08/01/07 | 10p | 1.7-3.8p | 100,000 | - | (100,000) | - |
15/03/07 | 10p | 3.4p | 4,000,000 | - | (4,000,000) | - |
26/03/07 | 10p | 1.4-3.3p | 100,000 | - | (100,000) | - |
25/09/07 | 10p | 1.4-3.5p | 1,000,000 | - | (1,000,000) | - |
22/11/07 | 10p | 1.4-3.5p | 250,000 | - | (250,000) | - |
21/12/10 | 4.3p | 1.09p | 16,200,000 | - | (9,200,000) | 7,000,000 |
21,650,000 | - | (14,650,000) | 7,000,000 |
The Company has a share option scheme for all employees (including Directors). Usually, options granted to employees have a vesting period of twelve to thirty-six months in equal tranches of one third. Options granted to Directors are exercisable at any time after the date of grant. The options are settled in equity once exercised.
If the options remain unexercised after a period of five years from the date of grant, the options expire.
Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Company before the options vest, at this point the amount in respect of these options is transferred from the Share Option reserve to the Retained Earnings reserve.
Details of the number of share options and the weighted average exercise price (WAEP) outstanding during the year are as follows:
2012 | 2011 | |||
WAEP | WAEP | |||
No | p | No | p | |
Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 21,650,000 | 5.85 | 25,850,000 | 6.24 |
Granted during the year | - | - | - | - |
Lapsed/Forfeited during the year | (14,650,000) | 6.56 | (4,200,000) | 8.37 |
Outstanding at the end of the year | 7,000,000 | 4.30 | 21,650,000 | 5.85 |
Exercisable at the year end | 7,000,000 | 4.30 | 16,850,000 | 10.00 |
The share options outstanding at the end of the year have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 3 years (2011 - 2 years).
The fair values of options were calculated using a Black-Scholes Pricing Model.
18. Capital commitments and contingent liabilities
The Group had no capital commitments or contingent liabilities at the reporting date (2011: £260,000). During 2011 the Company had an arrangement with Sahara for the provision of services by K Crichton. It was agreed that a monthly management fee of £20,000 be accrued by the Company in consideration of his services. At the Company's election and subject to obtaining any necessary shareholder approvals, the balance could be paid in New Ordinary Shares for the benefit of Sahara. Thus the only contingent liability at the 2011 reporting date refers to the accrued management fee of £260,000 in respect of services provided to the Company by K Crichton through 2011. As a result of the disposal of ENOR the right to this fee was waived by the Director involved.

The value of the transactions amounted to £50,000 (2011: £27,000) during the year and there were no balances remaining at the year end. There are no other transactions with related parties during the years ended 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011.

Subsequently the Lender deposited £2,500,000 in an escrow account which is now being restructured.
The loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR +5%. The loan is repayable on the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the agreement or fundraising completed date in respect of any equity fundraising raising at least £5,000,000 (before expenses) at which point the Lender may chose to convert the loan in the ordinary shares of the Company at the conversion rates stipulated by the agreement.

Notes to the parent Company balance sheet
Parent Company accounting policies
The parent Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The Directors have reviewed the Company's accounting policies and consider that they remain the most appropriate. The particular accounting policies adopted by the parent Company have been consistently applied and are set out below.

Going concern
Refer to page 17 for details of the going concern position.
Deferred taxation
Deferred taxation is recognised as a liability or asset if transactions have occurred at the reporting date that gives rise to an obligation to pay more (or less) taxation in the future. Deferred taxation assets are only recognised if recovery against future profits is reasonably certain. Deferred tax balances have not been subject to discounting.
Share based payments
In accordance with FRS 20 the fair value of equity settled share-based payments to employees is determined at the time of grant and is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period calculated by elapsed whole months. At the outset it is expected that all options granted will vest in the employees, but the number of options expected to vest is revised from time to time based upon employees leaving the Company and performance conditions not being met. None of the performance conditions are related to the share price of Kemin Resources Plc. Fair value for share options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes pricing model.
