COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 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 2015 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 2015 Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015, unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
The Group incurred a net loss of $397,272 for the half-year ended 31 December 2015. As at 31 December 2015 the Group has cash reserves of $103,959, a working capital deficit of $1,352,338 and net assets of $10,025,580. The company has not generated revenues from operations. The Group has a liability of $1,201,199 (including accrued interest) for convertible notes. The Group has also committed to re-acquire Barrick (PNG Exploration) Limited’s (“Barrick”) interest in the tenements EL1043 and EL2379 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 payment to reacquire the tenements from Barrick. Subsequent to year end the company has entered into a placement agreement, the key terms of which are disclosed in Note 9.
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 mounts 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 2015
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 2015.
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.
NOTE 4. MINERAL EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

|---|---|
| 11,343,131 11,430,209 |
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. In May 2012 Barrick advised Coppermoly of its intention to divest its interest in the WNB Projects. On 11 September 2015 EL2379 was granted by the PNG Mineral Resources Authority as a consolidated exploration licence combining EL1077 Simuku and EL1445 Talelumas.
Reacquisition Deed
The remaining key term of the renegotiated Reacquisition Deed with Barrick is as follows:
- The Group may acquire the remaining nominal 28% interest in the WNB Projects, which the Company has a binding agreement to acquire, 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 WNB Projects. Barrick do not have to contribute any further costs to exploration or development of the projects nor are they entitled to any profits from the projects.

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 2015, 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 2015 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.
BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

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 2015 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.
