REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net loss of the consolidated entity after income tax for the half year ended 31 December 2013 amounted to a loss of $358,258 (2012: $265,955).
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
At the commencement of the 2014 financial year, the Board of Fitzroy Resources were in the process of evaluating future opportunities for the company.
On 14 August 2013, Fitzroy announced it had entered into an option agreement pursuant to which Fitzroy has been granted an option to acquire 100% of Premier Coking Coal Limited (“Premier”) and its subsidiary, Premier Coking Coal LLC, a US based coal exploration and development company. Premier held the option over the Emmaus property in West Virginia.
Fitzroy had identified the transaction as an opportunity to reposition Fitzroy as a coking coal developer in a region rich with infrastructure and mining services. The Emmaus property is a strategically important asset for Fitzroy due to its land area, high quality mid volatile coking coal and the existing refuse dump and rail load out permits.
Due diligence drilling commenced during the December Quarter. On 6 December 2013, Fitzroy announced the results of our successful drilling program, including the identification of a new coal seam at depth. Fitzroy complimented the due diligence program with an independent technical report (announced 10 December 2013) that described the property, its potential and an exploration tonnage and quality target.
As due diligence proceeded, Fitzroy and Premier re-negotiated the Emmaus transaction with the Emmaus Partners (announced 12 November 2013) and added a new, permitted property ,Blackstone, to the Premier transaction. The Blackstone property is an important part of Fitzroy’s future due to its outcropping seams, mining permit and relatively low start-up costs. During 2014, Fitzroy intends to conduct drilling on the property and conduct the necessary studies needed to commence operations.
At Rookwood, two geochemical sampling programs were completed during the period. These programs followed up on areas of heightened geophysical anomalism coupled with prospective geology. No new areas of anomalism for immediate drilling have been highlighted however the multi-element geochemistry will be used to plan future exploration programs.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 23 December 2013, Fitzroy announced a Non-Renounceable Rights Issue and Placement to raise A$1.279million offered on the basis of two new Shares for every five Shares held each at an issue price of $0.035. The offer closed during January 2014 with an acceptance level of 56.3% where there were applications for 16,547,294 Shares for a total of $579,155 received from shareholders. The shortfall of 12,852,701 Shares for $449,845 was placed with the underwriters with the receipt of these funds during February 2014.

ACN145 590 110
On 24 February 2014 the Company announced that results from the Emmaus drilling confirmed high quality, mid-volatile hard coking coal at Emmaus with the results being consistent with historic drilling. On 26 February 2014 it was announced that there were two further deep drill holes completed at Emmaus with significant intersections in Beckley and Fire Creek seams.
On 14 March 2014 the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Coal LLC, exercised its options and completed the acqusition of the Emmaus and Blackstone properties. The Company paid US250,000 and issued 10,000,000 fully paid oridinary shares to complete the transaction.

The Group’s principal place of business and registered office is located at Level 1, Suite 1, 35-37 Havelock Street, West Perth WA 6005. The Group’s primary strategy is the discovery and commericalisation of mineral deposits.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The halfyear report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
Basis of preparation
The condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. 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 Group’s 2013 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the half year financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Going Concern
The half year financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a loss of $358,258 (2012: $265,955) for the period ended 31 December 2013.
The ability of the Company to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital and ultimately developing one of its mineral properties.
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because:
-
The Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required. In light of the Group’s current exploration projects, the Directors believe that any additional capital required can be raised in the market; and
-
The Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate funding is unavailable.
The accounts have been prepared on the basis that the Company can meet its commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities, and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Fitzroy Resources Ltd (the company) and controlled entities (consolidated entity) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 31 December 2013 or during the half year.
Director’s Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the halfyear financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standards on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporation Regulations 2001. As the auditor of the company and controlled entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, we have given the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Fitzroy Resources Ltd and controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $(358,258) during the half year ended 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: $(265,955)) and had negative operating cash flow of $(194,326) (31 December 2012: $(300,850)). These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
