Operating Results

The operating loss for the Group for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was $1.67 million (31 December 2019: loss of $4.00 million).

The net assets of the Group increased during the half-year period by $13.37 million to $25.43 million.

(30 June 2020: $12.06 million).

The Group’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, was $15.64 million at 31 December 2020 (30 June 2020: $3.04 million).

Principal Activities and Review of Operations

Nuclear power has an important role to play in a carbon neutral global economy and Boss Energy Ltd’s ( Boss or the Company ) idle Honeymoon uranium mine ( Honeymoon ) is ready to fast track production, expand and meet growing global uranium demand.

Honeymoon is unique in that it is a fully permitted uranium operation with export licence and $170 million of established infrastructure, a plant under care & maintenance, in good condition, that has produced and exported uranium from the safe jurisdiction of South Australia, where it holds approved Heritage and Native Title mining agreements.

Boss is currently taking the following key strategic steps:

  • Enhanced Feasibility Study ( EFS ) – to be published 1H 2021

  • Entered into discussions with global lenders to secure debt finance

  • Progress Off-Take Agreements

BOSS ENERGY LIMITED ABN 38 116 834 336 2

Directors’ Report (continued)

These key steps are all being progressed in parallel to ensure Boss can capitalise on the forecasted increase in uranium price. Boss’s strategy is designed to ensure the Company has all the pieces of the puzzle in place for when a decision to restart mining operations can occur.

Boss has already signed confidentiality agreements with several global lenders and formal indicative financing proposals are now being sought with a view to ensuring debt funding is well advanced when the Company seeks to finalise offtake agreements.

At the same time, Boss is on track to complete the EFS on Honeymoon in the coming quarter.

There is a widespread expectation that uranium prices will rise in the near term as the supply deficit grows. Boss’s strategic timetable is aimed at ensuring we are in a position to sign long-term offtake agreements when prices strengthen, locking in robust margins and substantial free cashflow in the process.

This strategy is underpinned by the fact that the 100 per cent-owned Honeymoon Project is already fully permitted, including the permit to export uranium. It also has an existing plant (in care and maintenance) and a large JORC Resource[1] and will have one of the lowest operating costs among uranium producers worldwide.

Strong progress is being made on the EFS, which is aimed at reducing costs and increasing nameplate capacity up to 2.45Mlb/annum U308 by removing the existing solvent extraction columns at Honeymoon and replacing them with new NIMCIX columns.

Importantly, the EFS provides a base case to fast-track uranium production from Honeymoon’s restart area from only 35.9Mlb of the Project’s global mineral resource (JORC 2012) of 71.6Mlb. No further permitting is required to resume production and Honeymoon has a valid Uranium Mineral Export Permission for 3.3Mlb/annum[2] .

This means there is substantial scope to extend the mine life and increase the production profile from the remaining identified JORC resources. There are also genuine growth opportunities from Honeymoon’s significant defined Exploration Target[3] .

The combination of this increased production rate and the lower costs stemming from the new NIMCIX columns has the potential to increase free cashflow generation substantially.

The price at which Boss enters into offtake agreements is dependent on the Company’s all-in costs, financing terms and maximising shareholder returns. Given that the company’s all-in costs (before any potential EFS savings) are US$32/lb, and currently the long-term price index is in the high US$30’s/lb, Boss is very well-positioned for the long-awaited uranium price correction.

Boss will complete the EFS and progress project funding so that when the widely-predicted uranium price rises materialise in the near term, the Company will be poised to meet our goal of becoming Australia’s next uranium producer with very robust margins and strong free cashflow.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Events Subsequent to the Reporting Period

The following subsequent events have occurred following the end of the half-year:

  • On 2 February 2021, the Company announced a key step in its strategy to be Australia’s next uranium producer, starting discussions with global lenders in regards to funding the resumption of operations at its Honeymoon Uranium Project in South Australia;

  • On 10 February 2021, the Company announced that a review of its historical exploration database highlighted significant potential to grow the inventory at Honeymoon; and

  • Following the end of the half-year the Company has issued a total of 11,849,515 ordinary shares following the exercise of unquoted options and 3,000,000 ordinary shares following the vesting condition being met for performance rights.

Other than disclosed above, between the end of the half-year and the date of this report there are no items, transactions or events of a material or unusual nature likely, in the opinions of the directors, to affect significantly, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years that require disclosure.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2020

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These general purpose interim financial statements of Boss Energy Limited ( Boss or the Company ) and controlled entities ( Group ) for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The Company changed its name from Boss Resources Limited to Boss Energy Limited on 18 November 2020.

This interim financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual report. It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Boss during the halfyear reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

The accounting policies have been consistently applied with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except in relation to the matters disclosed below.

New and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the Group.

The adoption of these new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the Group’s accounting policies.

The adoption of the new Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting from 1 July 2020 has not led to any changes in accounting or disclosure for the Group, but the new Conceptual Framework may be referred to if accounting matters arise that are not addressed by accounting standards.

The adoption of the new definition of Material included in AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material from 1 July 2020 provides a new definition of material, which now extends materiality consideration to obscuration and clarifies that materiality now depends on the nature or magnitude of information.

Future effects of the implementation of these standards will depend on future details.

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation phases is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas. The balance of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure as at 31 December 2020 of $9,452,865 (30 June 2020: $8,813,373) solely reflects expenditure incurred on Honeymoon (ML6109).

From 1 July 2020, the Group has chosen to capitalise all exploration expenditure incurred on the Honeymoon Uranium Project but continue expensing exploration expenditure incurred for other surrounding tenements. This is consistent with the Group’s accounting policy given in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020, because the nature of ML6019 makes it appropriate to distinguishing it from the Company’s less advanced exploration assets. The directors believe this change would result in financial information that is more relevant to the needs of users, and more reliable in that:

  • the financial statements would more faithfully reflect the financial position and financial performance of the Group; and

  • the financial statements would more accurately reflect the economic substance of transactions and other events.

The Group has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work and to expend minimum amounts of money on such work on mining tenements. These obligations may be varied from time to time subject to approval and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of the operations of the Group. These commitments have not been provided for in the financial statements. Due to the nature of the Group’s operations in exploring and evaluating areas of interest, expenditure may be reduced by seeking exemption from individual commitments, by relinquishment of tenure or any new joint venture arrangements. Expenditure may be increased when new tenements are granted, or joint venture agreements amended.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2020

NOTE 9: SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group is organised into one operating segment, focused on conducting exploration and feasibility studies on tenements considered prospective for uranium in Australia. This is based on the internal reports that are being reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makes) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. As a result, the operating segment information for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 is as disclosed in the statements and notes to the financial statements throughout the report.

NOTE 10: EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

The following subsequent events have occurred following the end of the half-year:

  • On 2 February 2021, the Company announced a key step in its strategy to be Australia’s next uranium producer, starting discussions with global lenders in regards to funding the resumption of operations at its Honeymoon Uranium Project in South Australia;

  • On 10 February 2021, the Company announced that a review of its historical exploration database highlighted significant potential to grow the inventory at Honeymoon; and

  • Following the end of the half-year the Company has issued a total of 11,849,515 ordinary shares following the exercise of unquoted options and 3,000,000 ordinary shares following the vesting condition being met for performance rights.

Other than disclosed above, between the end of the half-year and the date of this report there are no items, transactions or events of a material or unusual nature likely, in the opinions of the directors, to affect significantly, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years that require disclosure.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BOSS ENERGY LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Boss Energy Limited which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and 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 the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ 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 Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year 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 Standard 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 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Boss Energy Limited, 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 .

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 Boss Energy Limited 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 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
