Chairman's Report

Β 

The year under review was one of consolidation of our interests in the Glenover Rare Earth/Phosphate Project and the post year end acquisition of St. Vincent Minerals Inc. (Acquisition), the owner of significant Nevada, USA based copper and gold interests.

Β 

The Glenover Project was more clearly defined by optimisation work with Anzaplan, the German metallurgical consultant. Further work with Guangzhou Research Institute in China was completed and announced during the year. This work primarily involved the use of nitric acid as opposed to sulfuric acid and demonstrated that a viable alternative processing route was available. The major benefits of the nitric acid route are that, in the process it produces some high demand, valuable nitrogen and calcium based fertiliser products.

Β 

It is the view of the board that Glenover represents a significant strategic investment which is well placed in both, the phosphate and rare earth evolving project arenas. Like all projects, irrespective of commodity, the driving economic force is of course the price of the commodity. Currently there exists some considerable uncertainty in the forward pricing of rare earth products whilst phosphates remain reasonably predictable against supply/demand fundamentals. To its benefit, Glenover has a basket of rare earth, some of which is identified as critical rare earth, and as such should be well positioned in any future rare earth price progression.

In previous Chairman's reports I have mentioned the extreme difficulties that smaller resource companies are experiencing in financing work to release the values contained in their assets. The year under review was no better than the previous five years and many companies began facing distress as opposed to difficulties. The consequence of this was that quality project availability was better than seen for many years. The board therefore decided to balance country and commodity risk by acquiring assets which fitted the Glenover model. The Glenover model had prior abundant technical information and positive studies, which mitigated the high level of risk associated with conceptual exploration. After reviewing many opportunities at desktop level, Galileo identified St. Vincent Minerals Inc. as a prime target, fitting this model, mainly because of its exploration history, location and prospectivity.

Β 

The main project, detailed later, is in the south of Nevada known as Gabbs. This project is maturing and has the potential to be considered as a "world class" copper/gold project. It became apparent in March of this year that considerable gold potential existed near one of our projects known as Ferber which is only 12 km from a rapidly evolving exploration site owned by Pilotgold, listed in Toronto. The whole property package of St. Vincent Minerals Inc. represents exciting prospects in what is considered to be one of the world's most friendly jurisdictions for exploration and mining. The mining world in general is not well considered by major investors and there is much talk about the "commodity super cycle " being over. We are seeing significant consolidation and disposal of production capability by the major mining companies. This is being driven by the need to provide the necessary investment returns to shareholders and to give shareholders and the investing world the confidence of focus.

Β 

The changing exploration sector again provides many opportunities for the smaller cap mining resource sector with access to capital being the main hurdle. The forecast for mid and long term base metal requirements coupled with lower exploration success will inevitably lead to a financing renaissance for our sector, a rebirth which is long awaited and overdue. My past experience tells me that when forecasters are professing the end of cycles, they are more likely just about to begin and I remain cynical of such sweeping generalisations in a rapidly changing and developing world.

Β 

Consistent with the decision to broaden the commodity and country base, it was decided to abandon any further interest in the Company's other various rare earth projects in southern Africa.

Β 

During the period under review the Company lost Β£4,164,494 which represents 4.7 pence per ordinary share compared to a loss of Β£1,839,828 2013 and loss per share of 2.2 pence per ordinary share for the comparative period.

Β 

I would like to thank my fellow board members and management for their hard work and support during a year of better understanding for Glenover and the exciting new acquisition of St. Vincent. I sincerely hope that the coming year identifies a suitable major partner for Glenover and allows us to add value to our Nevada project portfolio to the benefit of all shareholders.

Operations Report

Summary

Galileo's (Company) key asset is the Glenover Rare Earth project, (the Glenover Project or the Project) held through its shareholding in Glenover. The project is Black Economic Empowered (BEE) through a 26% ownership by Galagen (Pty) Ltd in Glenover.

Β 

Galileo's funding of the project has driven the feasibility agenda, resulting in both a SAMREC-compliant resource statement (Annual report 2013) and during the period under review a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), proving that the project is both technically feasible and economically an attractive investment using a process based on sulphuric acid and tested at Anzaplan in Germany.

Β 

The Company through Glenover continued to optimise the Anzaplan testwork (now completed) against key assumptions made in the PEA.

Β 

Galileo funded further testwork on Glenover ore to pre-feasibility level at Guangzhou Research Institute of Non-ferrous Metals (GZRINM) in ChinaΒ using an alternative process based on nitric acid, which has demonstrated significantly potentially better metallurgical results and economics than the process using sulphuric acid.

Β 

The Company commenced seeking and continues to seek a strategic partner to advance this Project to feasibility study level.

Β 

In the period under review the Company agreed to acquire Toronto (Ontario) SVM by way of issuing 21,650,000 new Galileo ordinary shares of par 5p (Galileo Shares) at a strike rice of 11p in exchange for the entire issued share capital of SVM. SVM's assets include a resource-estimate level Gabbs gold-copper property (Gabbs Property) in Nye County and a number of other properties in Nevada, USA

Β 

Brian Gavin ex President and CEO of SVM, was appointed CEO elect of Galileo with special responsibility for US operations, replacing Colin Bird, who remains executive chairman of the Company.

The Company elected not to pursue the Nkombwa Hill rare earth project (Nkombwa) in Zambia and other rare-earth opportunities in Mozambique and Spain under its earn-in agreement with Rare Earth International Limited and so holds no further interest in these projects.

Β 

The Glenover Project

Glenover holds the prospecting rights to a large concession containing phosphates and other potentially economic minerals in the North West Province of South Africa. Within the license area is an open pit, formerly mined for phosphates by Gold Fields of South Africa Ltd for approximately 20 years (ceasing in the early 1980's) and subsequently acquired by Fer-Min-Ore. Historical data suggested that the phosphate and surrounding rocks contained Rare Earth Elements (REEs), which was confirmed by Glenover's sampling, during 2012, of the previously mined "low" phosphate grade stockpiles on surface.

Β 

The concession area is a large pyroxenite and carbonatite intrusion, which globally, outside of China, is a much sought after geological environment for hosting potential REE deposits.

Β 

The surface stockpiles, which contain significant quantities of REEs, constitute a major potential benefit to the Company, as these stockpiles represent potential feed for immediate processing without mining cost.

Β 

Glenover has applied for the renewal of the prospecting rights, which application is pending approval from the South African Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).

Β 

Since completing the positive PEA of the Project, Glenover in which the Company now holds 33.99% interest, continued with and completed optimisation work on its sulphuric acid processing route. It also commissioned testwork by GZRINM in China on an alternative ore processing route involving bulk rare earth-phosphate flotation and nitric acid as the rare-erath and phosphate lixiviant for the concentrate. An advantage of this route over the PEA sulphuric acid route, is that the reagents consumed in the process are converted into saleable nitrogen and calcium based phosphate fertilizer products.

Β 

GlenoverΒ advanced all the critical metallurgicalΒ testΒ workΒ toΒ Pre-Feasibility StudyΒ (PFS) status.

Β 

Sulphuric acid process

The Company completed the optimization test work at Anzaplan on the sulphuric acid process, in December 2013, against key assumptions made in the PEA and aimed at improving projectΒ fundamentals by increasing the recovery of the phosphate component in the ore to sealable fertilizer product and streamlining the flowΒ sheet.

Β 

Nitric Acid Process

Glenover completed the GZRINM test work to prefeasibility-study level in December 2013 with positive results. The Company directors believe this test work hasΒ added significantΒ value tobothΒ its investment in Glenoverand the GlenoverProject.

Β 

The nitricΒ acid processΒ could potentially produceΒ more highly saleable products, thanΒ those fromΒ theΒ sulphuric acid process,Β which former process includes mixed rareΒ earth oxides, nitro-phosphate andΒ calciumΒ nitrateΒ fertilisers. Internal projectΒ financeΒ studies suggestΒ thatΒ Glenovercould beΒ viableΒ from these fertiliserΒ products alone thus making the costΒ of rareΒ earth oxide production potentiallyΒ much lowerΒ thanΒ previouslyΒ anticipated.

Β 

The results also indicateΒ that niobiumΒ can beΒ recovered,Β whichΒ providesGlenoverΒ with the potentialΒ toΒ anΒ additionalΒ increased highΒ value by-product, if economically viable to process.

GZRINM Test Results Highlights

The highlights of the GZRINMΒ metallurgy referredΒ toΒ by Glenover asΒ the Nitrophos-Rare EarthΒ (NPRE)Β process,areΒ as follows:

Β 

Ore Feed:

400 000 tonnes per annum (TPA) (over 25 year mine-life)

Phosphate recovery:

63% overall

Fertiliser Products:

Granular NP (nitro-phosphate) - 310 000TPA

Calcium Nitrate 190 000TPA

Overall REO recovery:

53% (into mixed REO concentrate) and 24%(into an intermediate

Nb-REO concentrate for further processing)

Final REO product:

+90% purity mixed REO Concentrate: Β 5 500TPA

Project Summary

The Company and Glenover have nowΒ completed theΒ major phaseΒ ofΒ itsΒ PFS-levelmetallurgy. ThisΒ included bothΒ the updateΒ andΒ optimisation ofΒ the previous Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)Β metallurgyΒ workΒ carried outΒ by Anzaplan, as well asthe alternativeΒ PFS-levelΒ processΒ metallurgy by GZRINM.Β Both programmes were completedΒ in DecemberΒ 2013.Β KeyimprovementsΒ made toΒ theΒ previously reported PEA flowΒ sheet (7MarchΒ 2013),Β whichΒ was based onΒ whole-oreΒ sulphuric acid cracking process (Anzaplan),Β include the potentialΒ economicΒ value-add recoveryΒ ofΒ 93%Β of the phosphateΒ in theΒ ore into PKΒ (phosphate-potassium) a granular fertiliser product.

Β 

The GZRINM metallurgy developedΒ over 14 months providesΒ a potentially superior andΒ well-understood process,Β thatΒ offersΒ theΒ market potentiallyΒ highlyΒ saleable productΒ packagesΒ - Phosphate fertiliser, mixedΒ RareΒ EarthΒ Oxides(REO), aΒ value-addcalciumΒ nitrateΒ by-productΒ and the certainty of Niobium (Nb) credits,ifΒ commerciallyΒ recoverable,Β fromΒ theΒ Nb-REO intermediate concentrateΒ (Nb-REO).

Β 

BasedΒ on the NPREProcessΒ work data, Glenover internallyΒ completed basic project operational economics, whichΒ suggest that GlenoverΒ could potentially be a veryΒ lowΒ /Β near zeroΒ costΒ rareΒ earth producer i.e. GlenoverΒ could beΒ viable from theΒ productionΒ of fertiliser products only, while stillΒ operatingthe rare earth recovery circuit.

Β 

The Company's logistical studies highlight potentially optimal constructionΒ of aΒ processing facilityΒ on theΒ eastΒ coastΒ of (Natal) in SouthΒ Africa, which GlenoverΒ believes should simplifyΒ itsΒ oreΒ andΒ reagent logistics and provideΒ a suitable and costΒ effectiveΒ location relative toΒ potentialexportΒ markets. InΒ orderΒ toΒ secureΒ an ore-to-coast logisticsΒ solution, Glenoveris inΒ discussionsΒ with a localΒ coal mining entity,Β whichΒ is inΒ the processΒ of constructingΒ a railline inΒ the WaterbergΒ that is setΒ toΒ passΒ within20Β kilometres ofΒ the GlenovermineΒ site.

Β 

As far as itsΒ markets are concerned, Glenover intendsΒ selling its fertiliserΒ products intoΒ the Southern African,Β East AfricanΒ and IndianΒ marketsΒ andΒ marketing itsΒ RareΒ EarthsΒ globally. With respect to the latter, discussions are in progressΒ onΒ collaborating withΒ a strategic RareΒ Earth processing and marketing corporationΒ with an established refinery.Β A letterΒ ofΒ interest has recently been signed with thisΒ entity.

Β 

Going Forward - 2014

The PEA and subsequent optimization work covered all aspects of a proposed Rare Earth/phosphate operation and the Company intends to rework the PEA to assess the overall financial impact per se and against the results from the Chinese process route in order to select the final route for project definition.

Β 

During 2014, the Company intendsΒ to consolidateΒ onΒ the advances made including securing the necessary strategic fertiliser and funding partnerships toΒ moveΒ theΒ GlenoverΒ projectΒ towards production and commissioning aΒ full projectΒ pre-feasibilityΒ study. Glenover isΒ currentlyconsidering bidsΒ for thisΒ study.

Β 

St VincentΒ MineralsInc. Acquisition

During the period under review with difficult market and financing conditions prevailing, the Company assessed other opportunities in the smaller resources company sector, which the directors believed presented unprecedented value and identified a gold-copper opportunity in the prolific and mining-friendly state of Nevada USA.

Β 

To this end, the Company agreedΒ to acquire the entire issuedΒ share capital ofΒ TorontoΒ (Ontario) incorporated SVMΒ whoseΒ assetsΒ include the GabbsΒ Propertylocated in Nye County,Β Nevada,Β USA and a number of other gold-copper properties, Nevada, USA, including Ferber Property in Elko County, TheΒ Acquisition, valued at CDN$4.3 million, was agreed by wayΒ of aΒ share exchange, issuing 21,650,000 Galileo Shares at a strike rice of 11p pursuantΒ toΒ a BusinessΒ Combination AgreementΒ (Business Combination)Β signed on28 January 2014 between Galileo, its specialΒ purposeΒ wholly-owned CanadianΒ subsidiary 2404119OntarioΒ Inc. (Subco) and SVMΒ including an Amalgamation AgreementΒ betweenSVMΒ and SubcoΒ under theΒ Ontario Business Corporations Act.

Β 

The resulting Galileo shareholders agreed to have anΒ 8-monthslock-upΒ period,Β duringΒ whichΒ these shares may not be disposed ofΒ without the priorΒ writtenΒ consent of Galileo (not toΒ beΒ unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Β 

Gabbs Property Acquired

Β 

Gabbs Property, Nye County, Nevada

The Gabbs Property is located in the Fairplay Mining District, on the southwest flank of the Paradise Range, about 9 km (5.6 miles) south-southwest of the town of Gabbs, Nye County, Nevada. The Gabbs Property consists of 355 unpatented lode claims and 1 patented lode claim which constitute a 28-square kilometre contiguous claim block, which contains at least threeΒ separate mineralisedΒ Au-Cu porphyriesΒ and one epithermal goldΒ prospect.

Β 

Interpretation of extensive geophysical surveys over theGabbs Property postulatesΒ the potential forΒ a majorΒ porphyry feederΒ sourceΒ atΒ depth for these separateΒ mineralisedΒ zones.

Β 

Geology

The Gabbs Property is underlain by a stratigraphic sequence of intermediate volcanic rocks and shallow marine sediments that are intruded by a large mafic to ultramafic igneous gabbroic complex.

Β 

Monzonite bodies intrude the Triassic units and gabbroic complex. These intrusive bodies are extremely significant as they host porphyry style Au-Cu mineralization found at the Sullivan, Lucky Strike and Gold Ledge mineralized areas on the property. The Car Body prospect by comparison is classified as an epithermal gold system.

Β 

Overlying the pre-Tertiary (Triassic) rocks are thick sequences of Tertiary intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks.

Β 

Gabbs Resource

SVM completed aΒ 2,400Β metreΒ (7,875 feet)Β drilling programme consistingΒ ofΒ 10 reversecirculationΒ (RC)Β holes in March-Β April ofΒ 2011.Β The goalΒ of this drilling was toΒ expandthe areaΒ ofΒ known mineralization atΒ theΒ Lucky Strike area (6Β holes)Β and test geophysic IPΒ (induced polarisation)Β anomalies (4 holes) identified byΒ previousΒ owner, Newcrest. Β GoldΒ mineralization was encountered inΒ 7Β ofΒ 10 holes.Β HighlightsΒ ofΒ the threeΒ mostΒ interesting holes includeΒ extension ofΒ theΒ mineralization 2,000 feet (610 metres) at Lucky StrikeΒ andΒ encounteringΒ mineralization in a new area identified byΒ anΒ IPΒ anomaly southΒ of the Sullivan mineralized zone.

Β 

Theindependently preparedInferred Mineral Resource estimate (details of which are available on the Company's website www.galileoresources.com.) isΒ basedΒ onΒ 494Β drill hole records,Β consistingΒ ofΒ 397 historical drill holes,Β 87 drill holes completed by Newcrest andΒ ten RC drill holesΒ recently completedΒ byΒ St.Β Vincent. Thehistorical drill holes doΒ notΒ meet NI43-101 and CIM guidelines fortheΒ public reporting of aΒ mineral resource. HistoricalΒ drill holes wereΒ therefore used only toΒ define theΒ extent ofΒ theΒ mineralized deposits,Β and historicalΒ assayΒ grades wereΒ not incorporated into theΒ mineral resourceΒ estimate.Β The Mineral ResourceΒ estimate for theΒ GabbsΒ PropertyΒ is reportedΒ at a cut-off gradeΒ ofΒ 0.40 g/t AuΒ forΒ theΒ oxide depositsΒ and 0.30 g/t AuΒ for theΒ non-oxide deposits (see Table 1).

Post Balance Sheet Events

Following further negotiations with SVM and review of SVM's other US properties, including the prospective Ferber gold -copper property ("Ferber') and pursuant to SVM shareholder meeting and agreement for the Acquisition on 15 May 2014, the Company closed the Acquisition with the issue of 26,195,538 Galileo Shares 5p shares at a strike price of 9p, in exchange for the entire issued share capital of SVM, including converted SVM shares for loan notes held by SVM shareholders. SVM shareholders hold 22.88% of the enlarged issued share capital of Galileo following the Acquisition.

Β 

On 21 July 2014, the Companythrough SVM, executed two ExplorationΒ LeaseΒ andΒ OptionΒ to PurchaseAgreementsΒ to consolidateΒ its Ferber position. These agreements increased the Company's position in Ferber from 88Β unpatentedΒ mining claims covering circa 1,760 acres to 102 unpatented andΒ 21 patentedmining claims,Β which nowΒ coverΒ circa 2,377Β contiguousΒ acresat Ferber.

Exploration StrategyΒ at Ferber

Recent newΒ gold discoveries inΒ the nearbyΒ regionprovideΒ strong evidence for aΒ mineralised system at Ferber,Β whichmakesΒ theΒ property aΒ compellingΒ target forreinterpretationΒ andΒ subsequent exploration.

Β 

SVMΒ geologists, following site visitsΒ andΒ on-going reviewΒ ofΒ all data,Β have identified many geologic similarities withΒ these nearbyΒ discoveries and areΒ formulating aΒ near-term exploration programme.

Β 

SVM geologistsΒ areΒ currently conductingΒ a thorough reviewΒ of the newly acquired lands andΒ geologic information inΒ orderΒ toΒ formulate a near-term exploration plan. Likely exploration activities include geologicΒ mapping, datacompilation,Β soilΒ andΒ rockΒ geochemical sampling as well as ground geophysics inΒ order to moveΒ rapidly toΒ the drillingΒ stage.

Β 

RecentΒ Discoveries Close To Ferber

RecentΒ Carlin-type gold discoveriesΒ atΒ LongΒ Canyon and KinsleyΒ Mountain haveΒ opened up an important newΒ explorationΒ frontierΒ in eastern Nevada.Β TheΒ LongΒ Canyon property wasΒ discovered andΒ defined between2005-2011 by a Fronteer-Β AuExΒ jointΒ venture and isΒ reported toΒ hostΒ anΒ estimated 2.2millionΒ ouncesΒ of gold. Newmont Mining purchased the property in 2011 forΒ $2.33 billion dollars. Β AtΒ KinsleyΒ Mountain, a formerΒ producerΒ of gold controlled byΒ "PilotΒ Gold" (listedon theΒ TorontoΒ StockΒ Exchange),Β a reinterpretation ofΒ the regionalΒ and local geology and subsequent drilling has revealed high grade gold up to 21.3g/t over 29Β metresΒ (m) and 10.5g/tΒ overΒ 42.7Β m. (Note: GalileoΒ hasΒ noΒ ownership interest inΒ either LongΒ Canyon orΒ KinsleyΒ Mountain).

Geology and Mineralisation at Ferber

The Ferber District consists of a multi-phase Tertiary igneous complex intruding Permian carbonates. Marble and skarn are developed at the margin of the intrusive complex. USGS Rock chip sampling has shown copper The FerberΒ property is underlain byΒ aΒ stratigraphicΒ sequence ofΒ Pennsylvania-PermianΒ ageΒ carbonate unitsΒ thought toΒ include the Rib Hill Formation, Riepe Spring Formation, FergusonΒ Mountain Formation, andΒ possiblyΒ theΒ PequopΒ Formation.Β The sedimentary units are intruded andΒ domed by aΒ multi-phaseΒ diorite-quartzΒ monzoniteΒ Tertiary-agedΒ igneous complex.Β The intrusivecomplex has anexposed footprintofΒ 6.1Β kmΒ east-westby 1.6Β km north-south. AΒ contactΒ metamorphicΒ marble and calc-silicate zone areΒ found atΒ theΒ marginof theΒ intrusiveΒ complex. Theproject area isintersected byΒ a number east-west, north-northwest and north-eastΒ trending faults.

Β 

Historic Activity at Ferber

Historical drilling in the district in the mid-late 1990's reported mineralization in metamorphosed sedimentary rocks and intrusive. Intercepts included:

Β 

11 metres of 0.53g/t Au in contact metamorphosed rocks

5 metres of 2.15g/t Au in oxidized intrusive

5 metres of 0.718% Cu (oxide) in intrusive

26 metres of 0.415% Cu (oxide) in contact zone

12 metres of 0.832% Cu (oxide) in contact zone

Β 

Active exploration by others in the nearby Kinsley Mountains has recently reported, inter alia, " that infill and step-out drilling at Kinsley Mountain's Western Flank target continues to intersect high grade gold mineralization, including 21.3 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 29.0 metres. The upper portion of this intercept, including an interval grading 46.4 g/t Au over 4.9 metres, is oxidized, similar to other nearby drill holes with high grade zones of oxidation." 1.

Β 

Kinsley Mountain hosts near-surface mineralization similar to other Carlin-style, sediment-hosted gold systems. 2

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities for the year ended 31 March 2014

Β· The directors are required in terms of the Companies Act 2006 to maintain adequate accounting records and are responsible for the content and integrity of the consolidated annual financial statements and related financial information included in this report. It is their responsibility to ensure that the consolidated annual financial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the Group as at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with the applicable UK laws.

Β· The consolidated annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial reporting standards (IFRS) and are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates. The directors acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal financial control established by the Group and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. To enable the directors to meet these responsibilities, the board sets standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost effective manner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout the Group and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the Group's business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of risk management in the Group is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all known forms of risk across the Group. While operating risk cannot be fully eliminated, the Group endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and ethical behaviour are applied and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints.

Β· The directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements. However, any system of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.

Β· The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the consolidated annual financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not be a going concern in the foreseeable future, based on forecasts and available cash resources. These consolidated annual financial statements support the viability of the company. the directors have reviewed the Group's financial position at the balance sheet date and for the period ending on the anniversary of the date of approval of these financial statements and they are satisfied that the Group has, or has access to, adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Β 

1. Basis of preparation

The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards IFRIC interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the Companies Act 2006. The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments at fair value, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets and they are presented in Pound Sterling. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous period.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 March 2014 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year but the consolidated accounts. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not give any reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under sections 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006, relating to the accounting records of the company.

Β 

Β 

2. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated annual financial statements incorporate the annual financial statements of the Company and all entities, including special purpose entities, which are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated annual financial statements from the effective date of acquisition to the effective date of disposal. Adjustments are made when necessary to the annual financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified and recognised separately from the Group's interest therein, and are recognised within equity. Losses of subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests are allocated to the non-controlling interest even if this results in a debit balance being recognised for non- controlling interest. Transactions, which result in changes in ownership levels, where the Group has control of the subsidiary both before and after the transaction are regarded as equity transactions and are recognised directly in the statement of changes in equity. The difference between the fair value of consideration paid or received and the movement in non-controlling interest for such transactions is recognised in equity attributable to the owners of the parent.

Where a subsidiary is disposed of and a non-controlling shareholding is retained, the remaining investment is measured to fair value with the adjustment to fair value recognised in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the controlling interest.

Β 

3. Segmental analysis

Β 

All investments in subsidiaries and associates that were operational at year end, operate in one geographical location being South Africa, and are organised into one business unit from which the Group's expenses are incurred and future revenues are expected to be earned, being for the exploration for and extraction of its mineral assets through direct and indirect holdings. The reporting on these investments to the Board focuses on the use of funds towards the respective projects and the forecasted profit earnings potential of the projects. Following the acquisition of the Gabbs project the Group will have another segment to report on being Gold.

Business segments

The Group's business is the exploration and development of rare earths, aggregates and potentially Iron ore and Manganese.

Major components of the tax expense

Reconciliation of the tax expense

Reconciliation between accounting profit and tax expense:

Accounting loss (4,164,494) (1 839 828)

Tax at the applicable tax rate of

20% (2012: 20%) (367 966) (367 187)

Tax effect of adjustments on taxable income:

Expenses not allowed for tax purposes 704,969 4,013

Subsidiaries operating in other tax

jurisdictions 41,569 166,063

Tax losses carried forward 86,361 197,890

Β 

No provision has been made for 2014 tax as the Group has no taxable income. The estimated tax loss available for set off against future taxable income is Β£1,406,233 (2013: Β£974,428). The Group has not reflected a deferred tax asset in respect of the losses carried forward as the Group is not expected to generate taxable profits in the foreseeable future.

5. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Where there is a discontinued operation, earnings per share is determined for both continuing and discontinued operations.

Basic earnings per share was based on a loss of Β£4,164,494 (2013: Β£1,839,828) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares of Β£88,307,183 (2013: Β£84,049,649).

6. Intangible assets

Galileo's key asset is the Glenover Rare Earth Project, held through its shareholding in Glenover Phosphate (Pty) Limited ("Glenover"), which is a joint venture with Fer-Min-ore (Pty) Limited. The Project is Black Economic Empowered ("Bee") through a 26% ownership by Galagen (Pty) Limited in Glenover.

The intangible asset of Β£6.6 million (2013: Β£8.3 million) represents the value attached to assets identified in a subsidiary of Skiptons Global Investment Limited (BVI) a wholly owned subsidiary of Galileo, namely Glenover, situated in South Africa. Glenover is a joint venture company which is currently evaluating a Rare Earth/Phosphate project in South Africa.

The carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset identified, on acquisition as part of the purchase price allocation, is treated as assets of Glenover. The asset must be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and is translated at the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. As at 31 March 2014 this amount represented Β£6.63 million (2013:Β£8.3 million). The translation difference of Β£1.7 million (2013: Β£1.9 million) was allocated to a foreign currency translation reserve through other comprehensive income. This reserve forms part of equity.

Galileo's portion of the loss in the joint venture for the period under review amounted to Β£38 843 (2013: Β£113 039).

8. Other financial assets

Included in other financial assets, at fair value through profit or loss, is a listed investment in Praetorian of Β£310Β 000 (2013: 1Β 500Β 000) which is carried at its quoted value on 31 March 2014 and approximates its fair value at that date. The investment in Praetorian Resources was reclassified as a current asset as the investment disposed subsequent to the period under review.

Also included in other financial assets is a non-listed preference share investment of Β£324Β 255 (2013: Β£352Β 958) which represents the "B" class zero% coupon rate preference shares issued by Galagen for its investment in Glenover as part of the BBBEE transaction.

Preference share dividends are not receivable as the share are represented by zero percent coupon rate and are only redeemable after 3 years under the following terms:

The terms and conditions of the B Preference Shares state that "for so long as any A Preference Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall be obliged, in priority to and before any provision for, or payment of, any Distribution on any other class of Share in the capital of the Company which does not rank pari passu with the B Preference Shares, to utilize 70% of the balance of the Glenover Distributions after the Distribution payable to the A Preference Shares, to redeem the B Preference Shares pro rata with the Holders of all other B Preference Shares; and after there are no further A Preference Shares outstanding, the Company shall be obliged, in priority to and before any provision for, or payment of, any Distribution on any other class of Share in the capital of the Company which does not rank pari passu with the B Preference Shares, to utilise 70% of all Glenover Distributions to redeem the B Preference Shares pro rata with the Holders of all other B Preference Shares". The fair value of this preference share investment is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using an appropriate market related discount rate assessed at 15%.
