5 Directors Report (continued) Regional Exploration Crusader has continued regional exploration activities on the large tenement package that surrounds the Borborema project. The tenement holding continues to expand and now exceeds more than 4,500km 2 and covers the extensions of the host unit and important north-east trending structures that host Borborema. The Seridó region has never been systematically explored for gold and the potential for discovering similar mineralised systems is considered high.

10 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Crusader Resources Limited (the Company) is a listed public company incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia and Brazil. The address of the Company s registered office and principal place of business is Suite 1, Level 1, 35 Havelock Street, West Perth, Western Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group ). The Group is involved primarily in the mineral exploration industry. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation For the purpose of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statement the company is a for profit entity. The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards (including Interpretations) and the Corporations Act Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with the Australian Accounting Standards ensures the consolidated financial report of the Group complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The financial report has also been prepared on an accrual basis and historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale investments which have been measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company s 2012 annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half-year. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current half-year that are relevant to the Group include: Amendments to AASB 5, 7, 101, 112, 121, 132, 133 and 134 as a consequence of AASB Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income. The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group s accounting policies and have no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior halfyears. However, the application of AASB has resulted in changes to the Group s presentation of, or disclosure in, its half-year financial statements. AASB introduces new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to AASB 101, the statement of comprehensive income is renamed as statement of profit or loss. The amendments to AASB 101 retain the option to present profit or loss and Page 10

11 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont) other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to AASB 101 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items other than comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the representation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to AASB 101 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The following table presents the consolidated entity s revenue and results information analysed by mineral resource for the half year periods under review. This is the Group s primary basis of segmentation.
