Celsius has decided not to proceed with any further works at its non-core thermal coal property in Southern Kyrgyz Republic, namely Sary Mogol.
West Australian Nickel Assets
Celsius owns two nickel assets in Western Australia. Celsius (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) owns a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (JV) in Western Australia with Mincor Resources NL. Mincor Resources NL ( Mincor , ASX: MCR) is the operator of the Carnilya Hill JV. The tenements covered by the Carnilya Hill JV include Mining Licences M26/47, M26/48, M26/49 and M26/453. Additionally the Company has a 100% interest in the Abengo Hill Nickel Project to the south and west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine. The tenements are located near to Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin mine and the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd and are believed to have potential for both nickel laterite and nickel sulphide mineralisation.
Celsius initiated a reassessment of its nickel assets earlier in 2014. A data compilation and target generation exercise on its Abengo Hill Project for laterite and sulphide nickel was finalized during the Quarter. Based on this work, the Company is assessing its options for further work on this Project, either resuming exploration activity or seeking to monetize its nickel assets.
Events Subsequent to Reporting Date
On 3 March 2015, the Company converted the outstanding debt and accrued interest owing on the Blumont Group Ltd’s Convertible Notes. The Company issued 155,368,852 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.025 to convert the total principal outstanding and issued 21,782,674 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.0275 to convert the accrued interest, as per the Convertible Note Agreement. On 6 March 2015, the Company and Blumont Group Ltd signed a Deed of Termination and Release in respect of the Convertible Note Deed and Subscription Agreement signed between the Company and Blumont Group Ltd. The effect is that the Company will no longer be receiving any further funds from Blumont Group Ltd as previously expected and with the amount outstanding converted into ordinary shares, the Company no longer has any loans payable or borrowings outstanding to Blumont Group Ltd.
On 21 February 2015, 20,000,000 unlisted Class C options exercisable at $0.02 expired.
Other than the above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half-year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.

CELSIUS COAL LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
==> picture [60 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
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 half-year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. It is recommended that this half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by Celsius Coal Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .
The half-year financial report has also been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable by the measurement at fair value for certain classes of assets and liabilities. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014, except as set out below:
New and Revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The consolidated entity 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. The adoption of these new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity.
Going Concern
The half-year financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the half-year financial report, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $19,580,539 and had net cash operating outflows of $364,372 for the half-year ended 31 December 2014. As at that date, the consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $5,916,869 and net liabilities of $5,767,311.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern after consideration of the following factors:
-
Subsequent to 31 December 2014, $4,483,245 of the Blumont Convertible Note debt and the corresponding accrued interest were converted into equity;
-
The Company has director related payables of $138,276 as at 31 December 2014 and has negotiated with the directors for those payables to be repaid in shares as was done during the half-year;
-
The Company is negotiating with other creditors in order to be able to satisfy a significant number of liabilities via share based payments;
-
The Company has received written confirmation from an independent stockbroker of their intention to undertake a capital raising where some funds will be applied to satisfy remaining creditors and provide working capital; and
-
The ability to scale down its operations in order to curtail expenditure, in the event insufficient cash is available to meet projected expenditures.
Page 9
CELSIUS COAL LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
==> picture [60 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the halfyear financial report.
If the consolidated entity is not successful in raising additional capital, there is significant uncertainty whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the half-year financial report.
The half-year financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.
2. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Identification of Reportable Segments
The consolidated entity operates within two reportable business segments, being mineral exploration and extraction operations in Australia and the Kyrgyz Republic.

The directors of the company have been unable to obtain the financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 of these wholly-owned controlled entities. We were unable to conduct our required review procedures on these wholly-owned controlled entities for the half-year ended 31 December 2014. As a result, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for a review conclusion. Accordingly we were unable to determine whether any adjustments were necessary in respect of the consolidated entity’s share of these wholly-owned controlled entities’ assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2014, its share of these wholly-owned controlled entities’ income and expenses for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 and the effect of this on the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows.
Disclaimer of Conclusion
Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, we were unable to, and do not express a conclusion as to whether the half-year financial report of Celsius Coal Limited is 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 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $19,580,539 and had net cash operating outflows of $364,372 for the half-year ended 31 December 2014. As at that date, the consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $5,916,869 and net liabilities of $5,767,311. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant 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.
