Directors’ Report
Malala Molybdenum Project, Sulawesi, Indonesia
The Malala Project is located in the Toli Toli Regency of Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, approximately 150km to the north of Palu (Figure 1). The project comprises five IUP concessions: PT Inti Cemerlang, PT Promistis, PT Era Moreco, PT Sembilan Sumber Mas & PT Indo Surya. The total area forming the Malala Project is in excess of 240km2 (Figure 2) spread across the five concessions all of which are located within 15km of the coast.
Since acquisition, VWM has worked diligently at compiling and reviewing the historical data and re-initiating the exploration process. The majority of work has targeted Anomaly B, the key area of Rio Tinto/Santos exploration efforts in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Rio Tinto had defined a non-JORC compliant resource at Anomaly B which is the basis of VWM’s exploration target of 105-115Mt @ 660-900ppm Mo[1] . In FY2009, VWM began the task of proving up this initial exploration target, with this work continuing throughout FY2010. The Company has significantly advanced its understanding of the Anomaly B prospect area, with detailed trenching and geophysical surveying making large contributions to this improved understanding.

The Company has undertaken a number of exploration programs to evaluate the size and grade of the main target area identified as Anomaly B within the PT Inti Cemerlang concession. In addition to this, a regional exploration programs were undertaken at PT Promistis and the other concessions, which has seen several anomalous geochemical anomalies, which has shown some early promise and requires further investigation.
1 In accordance with Clause 18 of the JORC Code, it is important to note that no JORC Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves have been established on these tenements and any current assessment remains subject to ongoing exploration work and drilling. The current interpretation remains preliminary and is based on exploration, evaluation and resource definition work performed by Rio Tinto, Santos and VWM.

China Guangshou Group
The Company previously entered into an agreement with China Guangshou Group Corporation (CGGC). This agreement expired on 31 December 2011 and the Company has been discussing with CGGC the termination of the agreement and renegotiating a new agreement pending final regulatory approvals. The project is still awaiting forestry approval to proceed to production. The Company believes this approval will be obtained in the first half of 2012.
The Company will arrange repayment of US$650,000 to CGGC while continuing negotiations with CGGC on a new agreement pending the receipt of forestry approval. The company has also entered discussions with another Chinese company who has approached the company to finance and develop this project.
The Company intends to complete either a renegotiated agreement with CGGC or a new agreement with another party by the end of the first half 2012.
JORC Exploration Targets
It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this presentation relating to exploration targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) or Reserves(s) have not been used in this context. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient work completed to define them beyond exploration targets and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. In accordance with Clause 18 of the JORC Code, it is important to note that no JORC Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves have been established on these tenements and any current assessment remains subject to ongoing exploration work and drilling. The current interpretation remains preliminary and is based on exploration, evaluation and resource definition work performed by previous owners Rio Tinto and Santos. Victory West Moly have undertaken exploration work including surface mapping, trenching and geochemical surveying (soil, rock and stream sediment geochemistry), geological logging and assaying of diamond drilling and geological modeling within the areas previously defined by Rio Tinto and Santos which is demonstrating results consistent with previous outcomes presented by Rio Tinto and Santos.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts
For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2011
1. Notes to the consolidated interim financial report.
(a) Reporting Entity
Victory West Metals Limited (the Company) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial statement of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2011 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together referred to as the consolidated entity).
(b) Statement of Compliance
The half-year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
These condensed half-year financial statements do not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, they cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Company as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public announcements made by Victory West Metals Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim period, except as contained within the following notes.
(c) Reporting Basis and Conventions
The half-year report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial statements, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
(d) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The Group has adopted the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current reporting period.
Impacts of new and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the Group include:

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2011
AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ (2009), AASB 2009-12 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards’
Amends the requirements of the previous version of AASB 124 to:
-
Provide a partial exemption from related party disclosure requirements for government-related entities
-
Clarify the definition of a related party
-
Include an explicit requirement to disclose commitments involving related parties.
AASB 1054 ‘Australian Additional Disclosures’, AASB 2011-1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project’ and AASB 2011-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project – Reduced Disclosure Requirements’. These standards are a consequence of Phase 1 of the joint Trans-Tasman Convergence project of the AASB and the Financial Reporting Standards Board (FRSB) of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants, harmonising Australian Accounting Standards and New Zealand equivalents to IFRSs (NZ IFRSs), with a focus on eliminating differences between the standards in each jurisdiction relating to for-profit entities.
AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project
Amends a number of pronouncements as a result of the IASB’s 2009-2010 cycle of annual improvements including:
-
Clarification of content of statement of changes in equity, financial disclosures and significant events.
-
Accounting policy changes relating to AASB 1 in year of adoption and amendments to deemed cost.
AASB 2010-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
This standard amends a range of existing standards to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards. They have no major impact on the requirements of the amended pronouncements.
AASB 2010-6 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets’ Makes amendments to AASB 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ including additional disclosures to allow users of the financial statements to improve their understanding financial asset transfers and potential risks to the transferring entity.
(e) Going Concern
The financial statements for the half-year have been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Whilst acknowledging the inherent uncertainties of progressing to productive mining operations, the Directors consider this to be appropriate.
During the half year the consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $1,063,298, net cash outflows from operating activities were $256,218, net cash outflows during the period were $625,420 and at 31 December 2011 had a net current asset deficiency of $2,803,927. Included in this net current asset deficiency are the convertible loans and notes of $2.55 million. Subsequent to balance date, the parties have agreed to extend $555,000 of the unsecured convertible loans to 30 June 2012 (refer note 14). The Company is in
- 14 -
Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2011
negotiations with the note holders and is confident that the amounts will be repaid subject to successful capital management initiatives or via the conversion to equity.
The company has engaged consultants to assist it with these capital raising initiatives and is in discussions with potential financiers. The capital raising initiatives may include offtake financing, additional capital raisings in future periods or debt funding.
The Directors are developing a capital management program that will provide funding to maximize the potential of its current asset portfolio and the newly announced coal portfolio (subject to due diligence) and provide a strong base for increasing shareholder value. Whilst continued growth is dependent on the Company successfully obtaining new funding and refinancing of existing facilities in what are challenging capital markets the Directors are confident that the consolidated entity will be able to continue its operations into the foreseeable future.
Based on the forecasts and achieving the future financing, the directors consider the basis of going concern to be appropriate. In particular, given the Company’s history of successful raising of capital to date, the Directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required. In addition, subject to successful due diligence and shareholder and regulatory approvals, if required, the potential short term development opportunities of the Penajam East Coal Project (part of the SEAE acquisition) to generate cash inflows, supported by preliminary non-binding off-take understandings, in the later part of the financial year should help to strengthen the groups capital management program. The development of the Penajam East Coal Project is subject to completion of technical and legal due diligence, shareholder approval of the SEAE acquisition and regulatory approvals, if required, and the provision of sufficient capital for development.
The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is also dependent upon the successful exploitation of its mineral tenements and progression of its exploration activities into a successful production stage.
Should the Company be unable to raise the funding referred to above, there is a material uncertainty whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern, and therefore, whether it will be required to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from these stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The reportable segments have been identified around geographical areas and regulatory environments. Operating segments have been aggregated where segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics. Specifically PT Sulawesi Molybdenum Management is the Indonesian reporting segment.
The Australian reporting segment derives its revenues from its investments in the entities making up the Indonesian reporting segment and from interest on its cash deposit. It is intended that the Indonesian reporting segment will derive revenue from the commercial exploitation of the exploration assets it currently holds.
Transactions between reportable segments are accounted for in the same manner as transactions with external parties.

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Victory West Metals Limited (“Company”), which comprises the consolidated financial statements being the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising both 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 and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the 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 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.

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 complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
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 Victory West Metals 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.
Material uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1(e) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,063,298 and net operating cash outflows of $256,218 during the period ended 31 December 2011 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity’s current liabilities exceeded its total assets by $2,803,927. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(e), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which 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, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
