Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2018

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Note 1. Basis of Preparation

Reporting Entity

The consolidated interim financial statements comprise Venturex Resources Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, Venturex Sulphur Springs Pty Ltd, Jutt Resources Pty Ltd, Juranium Pty Ltd, and CMG Gold Ltd, (collectively the “Group Entity” or the “Group”). Venturex Resources Limited is a listed public company domiciled in Australia.

Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 are general purpose financial statement, which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 . The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs ) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

This consolidated 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. 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 2018, 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 consolidated financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s 2018 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018, except as outlined below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Revenue

Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Convertible notes

Convertible notes were issued by the Group (see note 6), which includes an option to convert the note to a variable number of shares in the Group. These convertible notes are recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the fair value of the convertible note will equate to the proceeds received and subsequently the liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The fair value movements are recognised on the profit or loss as finance costs.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The significant accounting estimates and assumptions adopted in the preparation of the half year consolidated financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s 2018 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018, other than those mentioned below.

Use of Estimates and Judgements

Share based payments

The Group initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant.

This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them, as well as an assessment of the probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions.

The probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions of performance options is assessed at each reporting period.

The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 7

Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2018

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Note 1. Basis of Preparation (continued)

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

In the half-year ended 31 December 2018, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2018.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include:

  • AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards;

  • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards; and

  • AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Sharebased Payment Transactions.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards

In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments and the related consequential amendments to other Accounting Standards that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. The transition provisions of AASB 9 allow an entity not to restate comparatives however there was no material impact on adoption of the standard.

Additionally, the Group adopted consequential amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures .

In summary AASB 9 introduced new requirements for:

  • The classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities;

  • Impairment of financial assets; and

  • General hedge accounting.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards

In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which is effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. AASB 15 introduced a 5-step approach to revenue recognition. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in AASB 15 to deal with specific scenarios. There was no material impact on adoption of the standard and no adjustment made to current or prior period amounts.

Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group

The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

Going Concern

For the half-year ended 31 December 2018 the entity recorded a loss of $949,511 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $4,256,257.

The Company completed and announced the results of the 2018 DFS of the Sulphur Springs Copper Zinc Project, this indicates that the project is technically and economically feasible. Following completion of the 2018 DFS, the Company have been working to secure a project financing package prior to approving a decision to mine.

The ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on finalisation of debt and the successful commercialisation of the Sulphur Springs Copper Zinc project, as well as securing additional funding as required.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the entity’s working capital requirements as at the date of this report. Subsequent to year end the entity expects to receive additional funds via the lease/ rental of the Spinifex Ridge Camp and if required additional funds via the capital markets.

Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2018

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Note 1. Basis of Preparation (continued)

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:

  • The Directors are of the opinion that the Group’s exploration and development assets will attract further capital investment when required. The Directors will continue to maximise the value of existing assets through careful planning of drilling campaigns, calculation of mineral resources as sufficient data becomes available. In regards to the Sulphur Springs Copper – Zinc Project, the Directors will continue with ongoing discussions with interested groups on opportunities to advance the Project’s development as part of the Company’s drive to commercialise the Sulphur Springs Copper – Zinc Project.

  • The Group will also consider divestments if the proceeds are likely to exceed the realisable value of such assets if they were retained.

  • If the Group is unable to raise additional capital, the Company will investigate funding options including joint venturing the project, defer or reduce certain feasibility and exploration expenditure, divesting other non-core assets or reviewing the Company’s current activities such that the Group will remain a going concern.

Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.”

Note 2. Segment Reporting

The Board of Directors, who are the chief operating decision makers, has identified one reportable segment from a geographical prospective with the mineral exploration segments being the Australian segment.

Management assesses the performance of the operating segment 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, interest paid, finance costs and corporate expenses as these activities are centralised.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Venturex Resources Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 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 halfyear then ended, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

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 the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

==> picture [77 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

As the auditor of the Group, 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 the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
