Directors’ Report

The Directors of Deep Yellow Limited submit their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2015.

Directors

The names of the Company’s directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are set out below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Rudolf Brunovs Chairman (Non-Executive) (appointed as interim Chairman 1 January 2016) Tim Netscher Chairman (Non-Executive) (resigned 31 December 2015) Greg Cochran Managing Director Mervyn Greene Non-Executive Director Gillian Swaby Non-Executive Director Christophe Urtel Non-Executive Director

Review and results of operations

During the reporting period the Company continued to focus exclusively on its uranium projects in Namibia, making cautious and steady progress. The following highlights are worth noting:

Palaeochannel Project

  • The results from a closely-spaced infill drilling program at Tumas Zone 1 and sophisticated geophysical modelling utilising modern processes led DYL to conclude that the Company’s palaeochannel resource potentially exceeds previous interpretations of this mineralisation.

  • A small bulk sample was taken from within the Tumas Zone 1 resource infill drilling area and sent to Perth for metallurgical testwork to be conducted by Marenica Energy Ltd (“MEY”). The testwork is the first phase of a planned more extensive program designed to assess the amenability of MEY’s U-pgradeTM technology to effectively process Tumas’s calcrete ore.

  • If the testwork is successful DYL’s ultimate objective is to develop an operation capable of cost effectively producing a high grade intermediate product for satellite supplementary supply to feed into any one of the existing Namibian uranium mines.

Omahola Project

  • An internal review conducted on capital and operating cost estimates and pit optimisation studies, incorporating plant location modelling, was completed;

  • An assessment to identify an optimal location for the Project’s processing plant, based on the existing resource base consisting of Ongolo, MS7 and INCA, concluded that a position between Ongolo and MS7 was best. Apart from minimising haulage costs the location also has another benefit in that it may allow other satellite deposits in the region, such as Garnet Valley or Ida Dome which are currently held by Swakop Uranium, to be processed at this location.

Australian tenements

  • The Mount Isa Other Minerals Joint Venture agreement was dissolved and as a result the Company retained unencumbered ownership of tenements EPM14916 and EPM15070 in Queensland whilst Syndicated Metals Ltd acquired 100% of the Mineral Rights for EPM14281.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half Year ended 31 December 2015

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies

Corporate information

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Deep Yellow Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the half year ended 31 December 2015 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 9 March 2016, subject to minor changes. Deep Yellow Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded. The Group’s principal activities are uranium mineral exploration and pre-development undertakings in Namibia.

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2015 have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures normally included within the annual financial report statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

It is recommended that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and considered together with any public announcements made by Deep Yellow Limited during the half year ended 31 December 2015 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.

Changes in accounting policies, accounting standards and interpretations

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the half-year condensed consolidated financial report are consistent with those of the previous year.

New standards, interpretations and amendments thereof, adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations noted below:

Reference Title AASB 2015-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality

The Standard completes the AASB’s project to remove Australian guidance on materiality from Australian Accounting Standards.

The adoption of the above new standards and interpretations have not had a material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Deep Yellow Limited has elected not to adopt any new standards or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

The Group continues to restrict its exploration expenditure in Australia and continues to have the majority of its tenements lapse when they are due for renewal. It has therefore not budgeted or planned significant expenditure for the future given its intention to sell or have its remaining Australian tenements lapse.

Exploration expenditure written off relates to Australian tenements that have or will soon lapse and Namibian assets for which the expenditure is not expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale.

Note 7 Share based payment

(a) Performance rights

On 6 November 2015 43,900,000 performance rights were granted to employees under the Deep Yellow Limited Awards Plan (Awards Plan) for no consideration. The rights vest if certain time and market price measures are met in the measurement period. If these time and market price measures are not met, the rights lapse. The fair value of the rights granted is estimated using a hybrid employee share option pricing model that simulates the share price of Deep Yellow Ltd as at the test date using a Monte-Carlo model. The contractual life of each granted right is seven years with a performance period of three years. There is no cash settlement of the rights. The fair value of rights granted during the six months ended 31 December 2015 was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Dividend yield (%) -
Expected volatility (%) 95.00
Risk-free interest rate (%) 2.02 - 2.09
Expected life (years) 7.00
Underlying Security spot price ($) 0.010

The weighted average fair value of the performance rights granted during the six month period was 0.84 cents (year ended 30 June 2015: 1.45 cents). For the six months ended 31 December 2015, the Group has recognised $92,311 of performance rights transactions expense in the interim consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income (30 June 2015: $82,525).

(b) Share rights

Share rights are allocated on a progressive monthly basis to directors in lieu of fees and salaries in a continued effort to conserve cash reserves. Shares to be issued in relation to the share rights are calculated based on the 5-Day VWAP for the relevant month and the accumulated shares are then issued twice a year. The 5-Day VWAP is the volume weighted average share price for the five days on which shares are traded up to but excluding the 20[th] of the relevant month. There were no outstanding share rights on 31 December 2015.

To the members of Deep Yellow Limited

Report on the half-year financial report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Deep Yellow Limited, which comprises the interim consolidated statement of financial position as at31 December 2015, the interim consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant 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 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 controls as the directors determine are 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 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 halfyear ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Deep Yellow Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, 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 have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.
