Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2011

NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Corporate information

The financial report of DGR Global Limited (the “Group”) for the half year ended 31 December 2011 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 15 March 2012. DGR Global Limited is a public company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Basis of preparation of half-year financial statements

This general purpose financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report 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 half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and considered together with any public announcement made by DGR Global Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2011 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.

The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.

Going concern

The half-year report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of the Group to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon a number of matters including the subsequent successful raisings in the future of necessary funding, successful closure of several capital raisings in its project specific subsidiary companies during the coming 12 months in the furtherance of its corporate model and the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements. In the absence of these matters being successful, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Comparatives

When required by Accounting Standards, comparatives have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current half-year.

The fair value of investment on initial recognition was the fair value of the investment retained in AusNiCo Limited at the date the Company lost control of the former subsidiary. In accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 127, this fair value is regarded as the cost on initial recognition of the investment in associate.

Impairment relates to the investments in Navaho Gold Limited and AusNiCo Limited. On initial recognition the share price of Navaho Gold Limited was $0.20 and the share price of AusNiCo Limited was $0.05. At 31 December 2011 the share price had fallen to $0.08 and $0.04, respectively, and the value of the investment adjusted to reflect the fair value.

7. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Future Exploration Commitments

The Group is expected to have certain obligations to expend minimum amounts on exploration in tenement areas. These obligations may be varied from time to time and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations of the Group. The expected commitments to be undertaken are as follows:

Less than 12 months
Between 12 months and 5 years
1,844,985
2,745,996
11,359,938
11,937,983
13,204,923
14,683,979

To keep the tenements in good standing, work programs should meet certain minimum expenditure requirements. If the minimum expenditure requirements are not met, the Group has the option to negotiate new terms or relinquish the tenements. The Group also has the ability to meet expenditure requirements by joint venture or farm-in agreements.

There are no other significant changes to commitments disclosed in the most recent annual financial report.

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

There have been no significant changes in contingent liabilities or contingent assets since 30 June 2011.

8. Segment Reporting

The group reports information to the board of directors along company lines. That is, the financial position of DGR Global Limited and each of its subsidiary companies is reported discreetly, together with an aggregated group total. Accordingly, each company within the group that meets or exceeds the relevant threshold tests is separately disclosed below. The financial information of the subsidiaries that do not exceed the thresholds and are therefore not reported separately, are aggregated as Other Subsidiaries.

10. Events After Balance Sheet Date

DGR Global Limited

DGR Global sold 1,218,973 Mt Isa Metals Limited shares and 1,200,000 Solomon Gold plc shares during January 2012. This resulted in DGR Global’s shareholding in Mt Isa Metals Limited being reduced to 50,000,000 ordinary shares and its shareholding in Solomon Gold plc being reduced to 33,274,477 ordinary shares.

Armour Energy Limited

Armour Energy Limited (“Armour”) lodged a Prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission on 13 March 2012 in connection with the IPO of its shares on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Armour is seeking to raise $75,000,000 via the issue of 150,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.50 per share. The Directors anticipate that the quotation of Armour’s shares to occur by 26 April 2012. Upon quotation of Armour’s shares on the ASX, DGR Global’s shareholding will be reduced to approximately 25.02% resulting in Armour being deconsolidated from the Group and being treated as an investment in Associate in DGR Global’s financial statements. In addition to its 75,050,000 ordinary shares, DGR Global also holds 18,837,500 options in Armour Energy exercisable at $0.50 to 31 August 2014.

IronRidge Resources Limited

On 5 January 2012, IronRidge Resources Limited issued 10,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.05 per share to raise $500,000 in a private placement, which resulted in DGR Global’s holding in IronRidge Resources Limited being reduced from 86.2% to 68.5%.

Other than the above, there have been no other events since 31 December 2011 that impact upon the financial report as at 31 December 2011.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of DGR Global Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of DGR Global Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 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 disclosing entity 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 disclosing entity 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 disclosing entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 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 DGR Global 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 DGR Global Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

BDO Audit (QLD) 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.

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 DGR Global 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 2011 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 on Going Concern and Carrying Value of Exploration Expenditure

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the matters set out in Note 1 in the half-year financial report. The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities. The ability of the consolidated entity to maintain continuity of normal business activities and to pay its debts as and when they fall due, is dependent upon the successful raising in the future of necessary funding and/or the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of its areas of interest through sale or development.

These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the disclosing entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the disclosing entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
