Cleveland Pre-Feasibility Study

In November 2013, the Company commenced a PFS to assess the near term development potential of the tailings resource, and re-establishing the underground mining operation, which hosts substantial shallow in-ground resources, to produce tin and copper concetrates.

The PFS is being undertaken by MiningOne and pitt&sherry who together have significant experience and expertise in all aspects of tin resource definition, mining and processing, and are studying the infrastructure requirements of the project.

Cleveland Tailings Environmental Approval and Tailings Dam Study

A draft Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan ("DPEMP") was submitted to the Tasmanian Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with the guidelines issued to the Company in March 2012. The full report is nearing completion and is expected to be lodged in Q2 2014. The DPEMP includes plans for the location of a new tailings storage fascility, a tailings reprocessing methodology, and dewatering of the existing underground mine for future access.

As part of the approval process, a fifteen-hole sonic drilling program on the tailings dam was completed. This will provide information for geotechnical, environmental, metallurgical and also resource definition purposes.

Tasmanian based pitt&sherry have been appointed principal environmental consultants to assist in the submission and associated work.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting".

As a result of the merger with Rockwell Minerals Ltd (as discussed in Note 10), this financial report represents a continuation of the financial statements of Rockwell Minerals Ltd being the accounting parent entity of the Group.

This interim financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included in the Annual Financial Report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual Report of Elementos Limited (the "Company") as at 30 June 2013, together with public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial period as disclosed in the 30 June 2013 Annual Report. There has been no new or revised Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that materially affected the Company in the current period.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis 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 basis is dependent on a number of matters including the successful raising in the future of necessary funding and/or the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group's tenements.

In the event that the Group is unable to raise its future funding requirements, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group may then be required to realise its assets at amounts different to those currently recognised, settle liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and make provision for costs which may arise as a result of cessation or curtailment of normal business operations.

Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date, fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisitiondate fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Acquisition of Rockwell Minerals Ltd and its Controlled Entities

Because the consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of Rockwell Minerals Limited, the principles and guidance on the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements in a reverse acquisition set out in AASB 3 have been applied: During the half-year, Rockwell Minerals Limited's original shareholders obtained a majority share interest in Elementos Limited after the merger transaction. This transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination in Australian Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business Combinations. The transaction has therefore been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB2 Share-based Payment and has been accounted for as a continuation of the financial statements of Rockwell Minerals Limited together with a deemed issue of shares, equivalent to the shares held by the former shareholders of Elementos Limited. The deemed issue of shares is, in effect, a share-based payment transaction whereby Rockwell Minerals Limited is deemed to have received the net assets of Elementos Limited, together with the listing status of Elementos Limited. The overall accounting effect is very similar to that of a reverse acquisition in AASB 3.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

  • fair value adjustments arising at acquisition were made to Elementos Limited assets and liabilities, not those of Rockwell Minerals Limited;

  • the cost of the acquisition, and amount recognised as issued capital to affect the transaction, is based on the notional amount of shares that Rockwell Minerals Limited would have needed to issue to acquire the same shareholding percentage in Elementos Limited at the acquisition date;

  • accumulated losses and other equity balances in the consolidated financial statements at acquisition date are those of Rockwell Minerals Limited;

  • a share-based payment transaction arises whereby Rockwell Minerals Limited is deemed to have issued shares in exchange for the net assets of Elementos Limited (together with the listing status of Elementos Limited). The listing status does not qualify for recognition as an intangible asset and has therefore been expensed in profit or loss as a listing expense;

  • the equity structure in the consolidated financial statements (the number and type of equity instruments issued) at the date of the acquisition reflects the equity structure of Elementos Limited, including the equity instruments issued to effect the acquisition;

  • the results for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 comprise the consolidated results for the half year of Rockwell Minerals Limited together with the results of Elementos Limited from the acquisition date, being 14 October 2013; and

  • the comparative results represents the consolidated results of Rockwell Minerals Limited only.

New and Amended Accounting Standards

New and revised standards have been issued by the AASB and are effective for the halfyear.

However, there are no material changes to the policies that affect measurement of the results or financial position of the consolidated entity.

Fair values

The fair values of the consolidated entity's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value. No financial assets or liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Elementos Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of 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 Elementos 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 Elementos Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review 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 Elementos 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 2013 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

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the consolidated entity's tenements, and/or sale of non-core assets. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
