Directors’ Report

The Directors of Deep Yellow Limited (“Company”) submit their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2016.

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)
John Borshoff Managing Director (Appointed 23 October 2016)
Mervyn Greene Non-Executive Director
Justin Reid Non-Executive Director (Appointed 28 October 2016)
Gillian Swaby Executive Director
Christophe Urtel Non-Executive Director
Greg Cochran Managing Director (Ceased 23 October 2016)

Review and results of operations

On 23 October the Company appointed John Borshoff as Managing Director and established a strategic relationship with Exploration Capital Partners an affiliate of the North American Sprott Group (“Sprott”). Concurrently, Sprott made an initial investment via a placement to recapitalise the Company and support its future growth strategy, anchored by its flagship Namibian assets. Justin Reid was appointed to the Board as Sprott’s nominee.

Subsequently, a detailed review of the Company was undertaken resulting in the development of a strategic growth plan that was adopted by the Board post the end of the half-year. The first step in the plan required a consolidation of the share capital of the Company. On 28 February 2017 shareholders passed an ordinary resolution to consolidate its issued capital on the basis that every twenty fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) and Performance Share Rights (Rights) be consolidated into one Share and Right respectively.

Namibian assets

Reptile (EPLs 3496, 3497)

  • A Mineral Resource Estimate of the Tumas Deposit conforming to the JORC (2012) Code has been completed with a 12% increase in metal content at the previous average grade and cut-off. The Mineral Resource Estimate announced during October 2016 totals 16.6Mt at 366 pm U3O8 for 13.3Mlb of U3O8 at a cut-off of 200 ppm U3O8.

  • A detailed data review and evaluation is underway to identify the possibility for a further resource increase by data reinterpretation and mapping. This will be followed by grade confirmation drilling to commence March 2017 for ore resource re-estimation and identifying new calcrete uranium resources within the paleo-channel system.

  • A Technology Licence Agreement was entered into with Marenica Energy Ltd (“Marenica”) in relation to the use of Marenica’s U-pgrade[TM] process. Following a full operational review to establish the optimal way forward for the Company, the active engagement with Marenica has ceased indefinitely, to accommodate the new priorities that have been identified through the strategic growth plan developed for the Company.

Directors’ Report

Nova JV (EPLs 3669, 3670)

  • Satellite imagery with 1.5m spatial resolution covering the total JV area has been acquired to prepare an initial geological photointerpretation of both tenements. Initial results of the interpretation indicate that field checking in 2017 could lead to substantial changes in geological understanding with the expectation that targets could be delineated for follow-up drilling.

  • On 19 January 2017, the Minister of Mines and Energy (“MME”) issued notices of preparedness to grant renewal of EPLs 3669 and 3670. Application for renewal was made in August 2015 and renewal extensions have now been granted by the MME to 20 November 2019.

Exploration Results and Mineral Resource Estimate

The information in this report that relates to exploration results or planning is based on information compiled by Mr. Martin Hirsch, M.Sc .Geology, is a member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (UK) and the South African Council for Natural Science Professionals. Mr. Hirsch is the Exploration Manager for Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person in terms of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (JORC Code 2012 Edition). Mr. Hirsch consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Where the Company refers to the Tumas Project Mineral Resource Estimate in this report (referencing the release made to the ASX on 25 October 2016 entitled “Tumas Project Mineral Resource Estimate”), it confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the resource estimate with that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Australian assets

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half Year ended 31 December 2016

Note 1 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 2016 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 8 March 2017, 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 activities in Namibia.

Note 2 Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2016 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 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 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 annual financial statements.

It is recommended that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 and considered together with any public announcements made by Deep Yellow Limited during the half year ended 31 December 2016 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.

New standards, interpretations and amendments 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 2016.

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

The Group has relinquished ownership of its last Australian tenement, Napperby during October 2016 and continues to focus all exploration efforts on its Namibian assets.

Exploration expenditure written off relates to Australian assets that were relinquished 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 8 Issued capital

Issued share capital increased by $2,396,031 during the period. The Company raised capital through an affiliate of Sprott making an initial investment via placement of A$1,415,253 and Share Purchase Plan subscriptions of $752,600. The remainder of the movement relates to the issue of shares to employees in relation to the vesting of Performance Share Rights and issue of shares in lieu of director fees.

Note 9 Share based payment

(a) Performance rights

Performance rights have previously been granted on an annual basis to employees under the Deep Yellow Limited Awards Plan (Awards Plan) for no consideration. The rights provide an appropriate level of incentive in a competitive environment and are cost effective in that there is no cash outlay for the Group. 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.

No rights have been granted during the six month period. For the six months ended 31 December 2016, the Group has recognised a write back of $73,209 of performance rights transactions in the interim consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as a result of performance rights that were forfeited. (30 June 2015: expense of $123,927).

(b) Share rights

Share rights have been allocated on a progressive monthly basis to directors in lieu of fees and salaries until 30 November 2016 in a continued effort to conserve cash reserves. Shares to be issued in relation to the share rights were calculated based on the 5-Day VWAP for the relevant month and the accumulated shares were issued on 1 December 2016. 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 2016 with a portion of director fees accrued from 1 December 2016

(c) Loan Plan Shares

On 1 December 2016, 100,000,000 shares were granted to the Managing Director under the Deep Yellow Limited Share Loan Plan (Share Plan). The Share Plan rewards and incentivises employees (including Directors who are employees of the Company) and contractors (participant), where shareholder approval has been granted, through an arrangement where participants are offered shares subject to long term performance conditions. The shares are offered at market value such that the incentive is linked to the increase in value over and above the purchase price and so aligns the participants to the risks and rewards of a shareholder. The purchase price payable by the participant for the ordinary shares is lent to the participant under an interest free limited recourse loan, with the loan secured against the shares. The loan can be repaid at any time, however, the loan must be repaid on the earlier of 10 years after the issuance of the shares and the occurrence of:

  • a) in the case of vested shares, the date being 12 months after cessation of employment or service contract for any reason; or

  • b) pre-determined occurrences as per the Share Plan including but not limited to a Control Event or material breach by the Participant.

The shares vest if certain company share price targets are met and the holder of the awards remains employed with the Company during the measurement period. If these conditions are not met the shares are forfeited and the forfeited shares are treated as full consideration for the repayment of the loan. A participant may not trade shares acquired under the Plan until the shares have vested, any imposed dealing restrictions have ended and the limited recourse loan in respect to those shares has been paid in full. The fair value at grant date is estimated using a Black Scholes option pricing model for shares with non-market based vesting conditions and a Monte-Carlo model for those with market based vesting conditions. The fair value of shares granted during the six month period ended 31 December 2016 was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Dividend yield (%) Zero Expected volatility (%) 110.00 Risk free interest rate (%) 2.73 Expected loan term (years) 10.00 Share price at valuation date ($) 0.011

The weighted average fair value of the shares granted during the six month period was $0.00833 (year ended 30 June 2016: Nil)

For the six months ended 31 December 2016, the Group has recognised $336,231 of loan plan share expense in the statement of profit or loss (31 December 2015: Nil)

Note 10 Contingent assets and liabilities

There were no material contingent assets or liabilities as at 31 December 2016.

Note 13 Dividends

No dividends were paid or proposed for the six months ended 31 December 2016 or 31 December 2015.

Note 14 Earnings per share (EPS)

The number of ordinary shares outstanding decreased as a result of a consolidation of the Company’s issued capital on the basis that every twenty fully paid Shares and Rights be consolidated into one Share and Right respectively. Refer Note 11. Basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented were therefore adjusted retrospectively. The “per share” calculations are therefore based on the new number of weighted average shares of 112,718,530 (December 2015: 95,966,627).

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 consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and 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 2016 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 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.

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 Deep Yellow 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 2016 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 .
