COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2014 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 2014 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 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.

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 2014 Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014, except as shown below:

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

The fair value of the liability portion of convertible bonds, that do not include a derivative at fair value, is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity, net of income tax effects.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Page 9

COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT (Continued)

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern

The Group incurred a net loss of $431,727 for the half-year ended 31 December 2014. As at 31 December 2014 the Group has cash reserves of $453,221, a net current asset surplus of $284,447 and net assets of $11,170,471. The company has not generated revenues from operations. The Group has a liability of $650,559 (with a face value of $775,000) for convertible notes. The Group has also committed to re-acquire Barrick (PNG Exploration) Limited’s (“Barrick”) interest in the tenements EL1043, EL1445 and EL1077 for a final payment of $4,500,000 to be paid no later than six months after the commencement of commercial production at the West New Britain Project, in addition to its

exploration commitments under its other licenses. Refer to 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.

NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values as at 31 December 2014.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

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.

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest.

West New Britain Project Exploration Licenses

In October 2009 the Group signed a Letter Agreement with Barrick (PNG Exploration) Limited ( Barrick ) to sole fund $20 million to earn up to 72% interest in Coppermoly Limited’s tenements (Mt Nakru, Simuku and Talelumas) ( WNB Projects ) on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea. Barrick earned 72% equity in January 2012 and in May 2012 advised Coppermoly of its intention to divest its interest in the WNB Projects.

Reacquisition deed

The key terms of the renegotiated terms of the Re-acquisition Deed with Barrick as at the date of this report are as follows:

  • On 8 October 2013 Coppermoly paid $680,000 to acquire a further 23% interest in the WNB Projects, taking its interest to 51%;

  • During the half-year ended 31 December 2014 the Group issued 66,891,800 shares to acquire a further 21% interest in the project taking its interest to 72%. The issue of shares was recognised at fair value at the date the Group obtained control of the 21% interest being $0.013 per share; and

  • The Group can acquire the remaining 28% interest in the West New Britain Project by making a payment of AUD $4,500,000, payable no later than the date that is 6 months after the commencement of commercial production at the West New Britain Project.

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 2014, 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 2014 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 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

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year 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.
