DIRECTORS

The names of the directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year and until the date of this report are as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Pursuant to its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company issued 111,940,725 ordinary shares on 1 November 2013.

The net loss for the period was $614,841.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Capital Structure

The Group has a net asset position at 31 December 2013 of $121,357.

Treasury Policy

The Board has not considered it necessary to establish a separate treasury function because of the size and scope of the Group’s activities.

Liquidity and Funding

The Group has cash resources of $276,467 at 31 December 2013, together with available-for-sale investments with a fair value of $33,565 and current receivables of $21,208.

Risk Management

The Group takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board. The Group believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be a part of this process, and as such the Board has not established a separate risk management committee.

REVIEW OF EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Mission Cables Gold Project:

The Board executed an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Exploration Licence E37/747 which contains two established gold prospects known as Cables and Mission. The project is located within the Yandal Greenstone Belt, in Western Australia. The company settled the transaction at the end of July 2013. Since then, drilling has been undertaken and assay results were received by the company as it works towards upgrading and extending the currently defined Inferred Mineral Resource.

Nacimiento Exploration:

Los Pinos Lode Mining Claims, Sandoval County, New Mexico

The Company engaged a land management team in the USA to employ local contractors to undertake work on the Los Pinos Lode Mining Claims (“Project”). A staking contractor has also been engaged to re-peg the Los Pinos 1-51 Lode Claims (+/-510 ha) in New Mexico within the next few weeks. This will consist of relocation of boundaries, re-staking, repapering and recording in the BLM New Mexico State Office in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Stage One of the exploration program was completed during this period.

The Coffey Mining report (2009) identified that the Los Pinos claim block is regarded, in terms of exploration potential for Cu and U, as the most interesting of the claim blocks held by the Company. The Nacimiento Uplift region also contains a number of mostly small copper occurrences and two historic mines. Both deposits are sandstone hosted red bed-type, hosted by the Triassic Aqua Zarca Member formation of the Chinle Formation. The Company has decided to concentrate the work program solely on the Los Pinos blocks, letting the Aranda and Coyote blocks lapse. The Los Pinos area is subject to specific property access and site conditions; one of which is that it appears that part of the block is staked over private land requiring ongoing negotiations with owners to allow access and exploration on these parts of the property. The company has undertaken a number of discussions in relation to this asset.

Leopard Resources NL Half-year Financial Report for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the half-year ended 31 December 2013

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Statement of compliance

The half-year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

The condensed half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full 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 2013 and any public announcements made by Leopard Resources NL and its subsidiaries during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

b) Basis of preparation

The half-year report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale financial assets which are measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half-year reporting period.

c) Significant accounting judgements and key estimates

The preparation of half-year financial statements requires Directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this half-year report, the significant judgements made by Directors in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2013.

d) Accounting policies and methods of computation

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half-year reporting period. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

e) Comparatives

Comparative information has been represented so that it is also in conformity with current classifications.

f) Going Concern

The half-year financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group incurred a loss of $614,841 for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 and at balance date has a working capital deficiency of $1,853,919, and a net asset surplus of $121,357.

The ability of the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital or acquiring funding and ultimately developing or disposing of any of its mineral properties.

Page 11

Leopard Resources NL Half-year Financial Report for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the half-year ended 31 December 2013

Notwithstanding the fact that the company has a working capital deficiency of $1,853,919, the directors are of the opinion that the company is a going concern for the following reasons:

  • The Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when required. On 14 March 2014 the Company is seeking shareholder ratification of previous placements in order to refresh its placement capacity under listing rule 7.1, and approval for a future placement to provide funding for working capital, acquisition and development of its assets. In light of the Group’s current exploration projects, the Directors believe that the 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.

Should the Directors be unable to raise sufficient additional funds, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.

Ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the relevant areas of interest, at amounts at least equal to book value.

  • (i) Given the longevity of the Nacimiento project, and the varying levels of the copper price, the Directors took the view that recoverability of the company’s investment in the project had significant doubt and therefore provided for the impairment of this asset in the prior period. It is still the intention of the Directors to pursue the exploration and development of the project.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group operates predominantly in one business segment, namely the acquisition and exploration of uranium/gold properties. The Group operates predominantly in two geographical segments being Western Australia and the United States of America. It no longer operates in South Africa nor Argentina.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

Operating segments are identified by the Board of Directors of Leopard Resources NL based on the mineral resource and exploration activities in Western Australia and the United States of America. Discrete financial information about each project is reported to the Board on a regular basis.

The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the economic characteristics, the nature of the activities and the regulatory environment in which those segments operate.

The Group has two reportable segments based on the geographical areas of the mineral resource and exploration activities in Western Australia and the United States of America. Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent corporate amounts that are not core to the reportable segments.

Information regarding these segments is presented below. The accounting policies of the reported segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

The following tables are an analysis of the Group’s revenues and results by the reportable segment to the chief operating decision maker for the half-year periods ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012.

6: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

This note provides information about how the Group determines fair values of various financial assets and liabilities.

Fair value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Some of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and key input(s) used).

Relationship
Financial assets/liabilities Valuation of
Fair technique(s) Significant unobservable
value and key unobservable input(s) to
Fair value as at hierarchy input(s) input(s) fair value
Six months to Year to
31 December 2013 30 June 13

Interest rate
Convertible notes 1,603,981 301,681 Level 1 of similar
convertible
None None
notes

If the above unobservable inputs to the valuation model were 10% higher/lower while all the other variables were held constant, the carrying amount of the available-for-sale assets and convertible notes would decrease/increase by an immaterial amount.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in the period.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Directors consider that the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

All gains and losses included in other comprehensive income relate to available-for-sale assets and convertible notes held at the balance date are reported as changes of financial assets revaluation reserve and convertible note reserve.

7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There has been no change in contingent liabilities since the last annual reporting date.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There are no matters or circumstances which have arisen since the end of the half-year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial periods, other than:

  • On 5 February 2014 the Company announced plans to undertake a preliminary economic assessment of its Mission & Cables Gold Project;

  • On 10 February 2014 the Company gave notice of a General Meeting to be held on 14 March 2014. The meeting will consider shareholder approval to convert loan instruments into equity, ratification of the prior issues of shares, approval of a future placement and the adoption of a new constitution; and

  • On 28 February 2014 51,750,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of 50 cents expired.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Leopard Resources NL

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Leopard Resources NL (“the company”) which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Group 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 Group’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 Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the company, 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 Leopard Resources NL is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’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 1(f) to the half-year financial report which indicates that the Group is dependent on raising additional capital to enable it to continue as a going concern for at least the period of 12 months from the signing of the half-year financial report. If the Group is unable to raise sufficient funding, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business.
