2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activities of the Company during the year were the progression of exploration and evaluation activities associated with the Elizabeth Creek Copper Cobalt Project (previously known as the Mt Gunson Copper Cobalt Project), exploration for and evaluation of projects and potential joint ventures with other mining companies to explore for minerals.

3. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Overview and strategy

Coda’s business strategy is to build long term shareholder value through the exploration and commercialisation of copper, gold, cobalt and other base and battery minerals in the world’s premier mining jurisdictions.

Coda’s primary focus is on exploration and development opportunities at its Elizabeth Creek Copper Project in South Australia. The Company has a dual strategy for success at Elizabeth Creek. Firstly, it is working to further define and extend known Zambian style copper-cobalt resources across multiple prospects, including Emmie Bluff, Powerline, MG14 North and Hannibal. Secondly, it is now preparing to drill-test copper-gold IOCG targets including Elaine, Elizabeth North, Chianti and also Emmie Bluff Deeps, which were recently redefined through extensive geophysical work.

Key events for the half year ended 31 December 2020:

  • Coda was officially admitted to the ASX on 26[th] October 2020 and commenced trading on the 28th of October 2020, following a successful, heavily oversubscribed IPO.

  • The IPO raised a total of $8.5M at an issue price of $0.30 per share, which is funding an aggressive exploration campaign across the Elizabeth Creek project.

  • Immediately following listing, Coda commenced exploration drilling at its flagship Emmie Bluff prospect, with 10 RC precollars and 7 diamond tails completed to the end of the half year.

  • On 22 January 2021 Coda announced that it had increased its holding to 70% in the Elizabeth Creek Copper Cobalt Project as a result of satisfaction of the Stage 3 Earning Obligation under the Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Terrace Mining Pty Ltd. As a result of Coda reaching the Stage 3 Earning Obligation, Terrace has granted Coda an irrevocable option to acquire an additional 5% interest in the Project for a payment of A$1.5M. This option may be exercised at any time up to 60 days from the parties reaching a Decision to Mine.

Investment in Coda

  • On 3 July 2020, the Company granted 6,000,000 options to key management personnel as part of the Employee Incentive Plan. The options issued were in the form of a Premium exercise price options “PEPO”. The options carry an exercise price of $0.2145 per option and vesting conditions requiring continued service, and the Company’s ASX listed share price

DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the period ended 31 December 2020

achieving the following hurdle prices of $0.23, $0.27, and $0.30 for each third of options granted. The options may be exercised on or before 3 July 2024.

  • The Company issued 10,117,162 shares on 9 July 2020 following completion of its Entitlement Offer, (Prospectus dated 8th June 2020). An additional 13,603,037 shares were issued on 6 August 2020 on completion of the shortfall allocation following the Entitlement Offer. The Entitlement Offer was a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of one New Share for every Share held by Eligible Shareholders at an issue price of $0.10 per New Share. The funds raised were to further exploration and evaluation of the Elizabeth Creek Project, general working capital and to fund the costs of the Entitlement Offer.

  • The Company issued 28,333,334 shares on 22 October 2020 following an offer to the public under Prospectus dated 8th June 2020 and Supplementary Prospectus dated 18 September 2020. Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.30 per share raising a total of $8,500,000. The funds raised will be used to further exploration and evaluation of the Elizabeth Creek Project, general working capital and to fund the costs associated with the initial public offer.

Material business risks

The material business risks faced by Coda are considered below:

COVID-19

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting Australia and the world has had a limited impact on Coda’s operations with restrictions on interstate travel and challenges associated with maintaining government recommended social distancing practices being the key areas the Company has had to consider. Although these factors have the potential to impact Coda’s ability to undertake fieldwork safely and cost effectively, the impact to date has been limited during the current field programme. The Company has retained experienced, South Australia based geologists and field staff who are not required to cross state borders. . The Company’s COVID-19 management plan has been established to address the ongoing potential future impact. The Company will continue to monitor and manage the impact on its operations.

4. FINANCIAL POSITION

As at 31 December 2020, Coda had cash and cash equivalents of $11,781,926 (30 June 20: $4,192,295) and net current assets of $13,220,130 (30 June 20: $5,771,377).

For the half year period ending on 31 December 2020, Coda recorded a loss of $2,497,886 (31 December 2019: $1,720,669) and experienced net operating cash outflows of $2,218,864 (31 December 2019: $1,513,938).

5. GOING CONCERN

The Directors believe that Coda will continue as a going concern, and as a result the financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Directors believe that, based on current conditions and performance assumptions, that Coda is sufficiently funded to meet its anticipated near-term funding needs, including required expenditure under the Elizabeth Creek Copper Cobalt Project over the next 12 months. Notwithstanding this, the Board may seek additional capital in the form of a further Equity Capital Raising if required in furtherance of Coda’s business objectives, including to enable acceleration of the maturation of the Elizabeth Creek exploration program.

6. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

Other than as set out below or elsewhere in this Half Year Financial Report, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year:

On 31 January 2021 the WA Government mandated a 5-day lockdown due to potential transmission of COVID-19 from hotel quarantine into the wider WA community. The lockdown and associated requirements had no impact on Coda’s operations during the lockdown period. As at the date of this report all associated restrictions have been removed. Please refer to COVID-19 statement above for information regarding ongoing monitoring of COVID-19 impacts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

The condensed interim financial statements is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financing Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting .

The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a full annual report and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020.

The condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2021.

Basis of preparation

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost basis where cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with AASB 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.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report for the period ended 30 June 2020.

Accounting Policies

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 2020 financial report for the period ended 30 June 2020 except where indicated below.

Change from the annual financial statements

Government responses to the impact of COVID-19

During the half-year, the Company became eligible for certain government support in response to the coronavirus pandemic (Note 4). The Company’s accounting policy for government assistance is explained below.

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets (including property, plant and equipment) are recognised as deferred income in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

CODA MINERALS LIMITED ACN 625 763 957 INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Coda Minerals Limited Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements For the period ended 31 December 2020

Adoption of new and revised Australian Accounting Standards

The Company 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 year that are relevant to the Company are:

  • AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business

  • AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material

  • AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework

  • AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia

  • AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions

In the current half-year, the Group has applied the below amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [and Interpretations] issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the Board) that are effective for the Group’s annual reporting period that began on 1 July 2020.

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business

The amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Company, but may impact future periods should the Company enter into any business combinations.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Company.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on 29 March 2018

The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. This will affect those entities which developed their accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards

Not Yet Issued in Australia

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1054 Additional Australian Disclosures by adding a disclosure requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the information specified in paragraphs 30 and 31 of AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors on the potential effect of an IFRS Standard that has not yet been issued by the AASB. This amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to IFRS 16 COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions

On 28 May 2020, the IASB issued COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions - amendment to IFRS 16 Leases.

The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a COVID-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification. The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier application is permitted. This amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Eligible businesses that withheld tax on their employees’ salary and wages received a credit equal to 100% of the amount withheld to a maximum payment of $50,000. The second payments were made for the July to September 2020 quarter. Eligible businesses received an additional payment equal to the total that they had been paid in the first round of payments to a maximum of $50,000, regardless of the amount of PAYG tax actually paid to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Coda has licence agreements for the use of mineral processing technology. This licence provides the Company with the right to use the technology on new projects that may be identified during ongoing business development and strategy work.

9. LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company as a lessee, has recognised right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments.

The Company as a lessee will assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease under AASB 16. A contract is,or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

If the contract is assessed to be, or contains, a lease, the Company will recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

Depreciation is based on the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability, offset by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

Recognition exemption - Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases lease term of 12 months or less and leases for low-value assets. The Company will recognise the payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(b) Share based payments reserve

The fair value of options, as at the grant date, granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest, except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.

The share based payments reserve comprises the net value of options expensed over the vesting period calculated at grant date using the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo model, depending on whether they contain market performance conditions. For options with a future vesting period, the option value is brought to account progressively over the term of the vesting period.

15. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

Other than as set out below or elsewhere in this Half Year Financial Report, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year:

COVID-19

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting Australia and the world has had a limited impact on Coda’s operations with restrictions on interstate travel and challenges associated with maintaining government recommended social distancing practices being the key areas the Company has had to consider. Although these factors have the potential to impact Coda’s ability to undertake fieldwork safely and cost effectively, the impact to date has been limited during the current field programme. The Company has retained experienced, South Australia based geologists and field staff who are not required to cross state borders.

On 31 January 2021 the WA Government mandated a 5-day lockdown due to potential transmission of COVID-19 from hotel quarantine into the wider WA community. The lockdown and associated requirements had no impact on Coda’s operations during the lockdown period. As at the date of this report all associated restrictions have been removed.

The Company’s COVID-19 management plan has been established to address the ongoing potential future impact. The Company will continue to monitor and manage the impact on its operations.
