Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205
Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2013
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Preparation
Reporting Entity
Venturex Resources Limited is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at, and for the six months ended 31 December 2013, comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group”), Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, Venturex Sulphur Springs Pty Ltd, Jutt Resources Pty Ltd, Juranium Pty Ltd, CMG Gold Ltd and CMG Mineração Ltda.
Statement of Compliance
The general purpose financial statements for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.
This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Venturex Resources Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as the Consolidated Group or the Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013, together with any public announcements made during the half year.
Significant Accounting Policies
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, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period except for: AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements – There is no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements as the Group does not have any special purpose entity; AASB 11 Joint Arrangements – There is no impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements as the Group has not entered into any joint arrangements; AASB 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities – There is no impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements; AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement – The additional disclosures were included for items measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, as well as items merely disclosed at fair value in the notes to the financial statements; AASB 119 Employee Benefits – There is no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements as there are no annual leave provision amounts that are expected to be taken after twelve months from the balance date.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Note 2. Segment Reporting
The full Board of Directors, who are the chief operating decision makers, has identified two reportable segments from a geographical prospective with the mineral exploration segments being Australian and Brazilian segments.
Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of exploration and evaluation expenditure for each geographical area. The measure excludes items such as the effects of share based payments expenses, interest income and corporate expenses as these activities are centralised.

Note 5. Fair Value of Options Granted
The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
The weighted average model inputs used for options granted during the period included:

|---|---|---|
| Weighted average exercise price | $0.025 to $0.035 | $0.12 |
| Weighted average life of the option | 3 years | 3 years |
| Underlying share price | $0.005 | $0.048 |
| Expected share price volatility | 105% | 87% |
| Risk free interest rate | 3.54% | 6.25% |
| Expected dividend yield | Nil | Nil |
The expected share price volatility is based on the Group Entity's historic volatility since listing in April 2007.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Venturex Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Venturex Resources 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 Venturex Resources 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 Venturex Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
