COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
These interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position, financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial statements. Accordingly, these half-year financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by Coppermoly Ltd during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
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 2013 Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, unless otherwise stated.
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations did not have any material financial impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements of the Group for the current or prior periods.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern
The Group incurred a net loss of $386,425 for the half-year ended 31 December 2013. As at 31 December 2013 the Group has cash reserves of $911,180, a net current asset surplus of $519,226 and net assets of $9,905,579. The company has not generated revenues from operations. The Group has a liability of $250,000 for convertible notes that were repaid subsequent to year end on 3 February 2014. The Group has also committed to re-acquire Barrick (PNG Exploration) Limited’s (“Barrick”) interest in the tenements EL1043, EL1445 and EL1077 for a total amount of $4,000,000 in staged payments over the next 5 years in addition to its exploration commitments under its other licenses. Refer note 4 for further details on the required payments to reacquire the tenements from Barrick.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:
-
the ability of the company to raise additional capital in the future; and
-
the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the company’s tenements.
These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate due to the following reasons:
-
To date the Group has funded its activities through issuance of equity securities and it is expected that the Group will be able to fund its future activities through further issuances of equity securities; and
-
The directors believe there is sufficient cash available for the Group to continue operating until it can raise sufficient further capital to fund its ongoing activities.
Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.
This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
NOTE 2 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
(a) The carrying values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values as at 31 December 2013.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-
(i) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
-
(ii) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and
-
(iii) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).
Level 3 Investments: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for the convertible notes.
Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the Convertible Notes. Changing one or more of the inputs to reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not change fair value significantly.
Total realised and unrealised losses for the period included in profit and loss that relate to financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the reporting period were $24,000 (2012: $nil). The convertible notes were recognized at $226,000 at 30 June 2013. Total realised and unrealised losses for the period included in profit and loss that relate to financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the reporting period were $24,000 (2012: $nil), resulting in a closing value of $250,000 at 31 December 2013.
There were no transfers between the fair value measurement hierarchy levels during the current period. In the half year ended 31 December 2013 $24,000 was recognised in profit or loss as a fair value movement relating to the convertible notes classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION
(a) Description of segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the Board which is at the consolidated entity level. Accordingly, the consolidated entity is treated as one operating segment.
Therefore, management identifies the Group as having only one reportable segment. The financial results from this reportable segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the consolidated entity as a whole. There have been no changes in the operating segments during the period.

West New Britain Project Exploration Licences
Re-acquisition deed
On 25 June 2013 Coppermoly completed a Re-acquisition Deed with Barrick which enabled Coppermoly to reacquire Barrick’s 72% by making the following payments:
-
(i) AUD$1,000,000 on 14 August 2013 to acquire 23%, taking Coppermoly to 51% (Barrick 49%). This payment could be extended to 30 September 2013 (with nominal interest being payable during the period of the extension);
-
(ii) AUD $1,000,000 on 31 July 2014 to acquire a further 21%, taking Coppermoly to 72% (Barrick 28%); and
-
(iii) AUD $3,000,000 payable upon the announcement of feasibility or by 31 July 2018, whichever occurs earlier, taking Coppermoly to 100%.
It was a condition precedent of the Re-acquisition Agreement, which could only be waived by Coppermoly, that Coppermoly successfully raise AUD$2,000,000 by 5:00pm on 14 August 2013. On 13 August 2013 the Company gave notice to Barrick extending the ‘Conditions Date’ for the re-acquisition agreement between Coppermoly and Barrick to 30 September 2013 per the terms of the agreement.
On 9 September 2013 Coppermoly completed an Entitlement Offer and raised $1,454,428 net of costs.
In October 2013 Coppermoly Limited reached agreement with Barrick (PNG Exploration) Limited to amend the terms of the Re-acquisition Deed to provide for the acquisition of Barrick’s interest in the West New Britain Project in three stages as follows:
-
(i) AUD$680,000 was paid on 4 October 2013 to acquire 23%, taking Coppermoly to 51% (Barrick 49%);
-
(ii) AUD $1,331,836 on 31 July 2014 to acquire a further 21%, taking Coppermoly to 72% (Barrick 28%); and
-
(iii) AUD $3,000,000 payable upon the announcement of feasibility or by 31 July 2018, whichever occurs earlier, taking Coppermoly to 100%.

NOTE 6 CONTINGENCIES
- (i) West New Britain Project
Refer to Note 4. The Group has completed an agreement to re-acquire Barrick’s interests in the West New Britain Project. The Re-acquisition Agreement terminated the Letter Agreement.
In October 2009 the Group signed a Letter Agreement with Barrick to sole fund AUD$20 million to earn up to 72% interest in Coppermoly Limited’s West New Britain Project. Barrick earned 72% equity in January 2012 and Coppermoly elected that the payment of its share (28%) of ongoing costs incurred up to the production of a feasibility study would be delayed until that stage and repaid from 50% of its share of any future production revenue. The Group’s accrued contribution was approximately AUD$1,540,000 at 30 June 2013.
Following the termination of the Letter Agreement Coppermoly no longer has a accrued contribution as at 31 December 2013.
(ii) There have been no further changes in contingent liabilities since the end of the previous annual reporting period (30 June 2013).
NOTE 7 DIVIDENDS
There was no dividend paid or recommended during the reporting period.
NOTE 8 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 4 February 2014 the Group repaid the two Convertible Note Deeds, each for a sum of $125,000, to Mitchell River Group Pty Ltd and Aviva Corporation Limited.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Coppermoly Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Coppermoly Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of 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’s 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 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 Coppermoly 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 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Coppermoly Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

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 Coppermoly 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 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 Corporations Regulations 2001
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the consolidated entity’s tenements, and/or sale of non-core assets. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that 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.
