The terms of the DOCA were:
-
Richard Albarran, David Ingram and Cameron Shaw to administer the DOCA/Creditors’ Trust.

Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
These 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 2015 and any public announcements made by South East Asia Resources 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) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half year.
The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior half-years.

On 8 December 2016 the shareholders approved conversion of liabilities and loans of the Consolidated Entity totaling $8,854,253 for 177,085,060 fully paid ordinary shares. Of the approved conversion 16,116,121 shares were issued on 12 December 2016 and 122,119,938 shares were issued on 7 March 2017.
-
The remaining balance of the interest bearing liabilities of $500,000 and amounts to be converted of $1,132,450 is expected to be converted after the next shareholders meeting on 31 July 2017. In case any the above amounts will not be converted its debt to equity it will be allocated to the Creditors’ Trust Fund. The amount will be written off in the Company’s account, with partial payment to occur from the Creditors’ Trust.
-
As at 31 July 2017, the Company liabilities is of $305,000 (including $210,000 DOCA liability), compare to $10,330,979 as at 30 June 2014.
-
As described in Note 9 ‘Events Subsequent to Reporting Date’:
-
The Company have made payments of $390,000 under the DOCA and the creditors approved variation of the DOCA on 31 May 2017. The Company is expecting to raise $1,000,000 through a rights issuance to existing shareholders to pay the balance of the DOCA commitment and the remaining borrowing amount of $277,500;
-
Subject the above, the Company will effectuate its DOCA and the Company will cease to be in administration.
-
In addition, given the Consolidated Entity’s history of successful raising of capital, the Directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required but will not require these funds to continue as a going concern. This is because the Company’s expenditures can be curtailed and are discretionary based on whether these additional capital raises are successful.
Notwithstanding this, there is significant uncertainty whether the Company and the Group will be able to continue as going concerns.
The ability for the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, the group meeting the terms and requirements of the Deed of Company Administration (as amended), the significant requirements are as follows:
-
Complete and lodge audited accounts for 30 June 2017 by 30 September 2017;
-
16 -
Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2015
==> picture [93 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
-
Convene a meeting of shareholders to seek shareholder approval for the acquisition of exploration licenses in Serbia
-
The remaining claims by shareholders, convertible note holders and or loan holders convert their claims to shares in the company, once the above general meeting approval is obtained to issue the additional shares in accordance with ASX listing requirements
-
Raise, by 15 September 2017, $1,000,000 in additional equity. From these proceeds, an amount of $390,000 will be paid to the Creditors Trust on or before the 15 September 2017. The remaining funds from the equity raising will be used to fund the working capital requirements of the group.
Should the Company and the Group be unable to continue as going concerns, they may be required to realise their assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those 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 and the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Segment Information
The reportable segments have been re-designated during the prior year and it was identified that the Consolidated Entity has no material operating segment. The Consolidated Entity’s operations during the period included corporate and administrative tasks to resolve debts and act under the Deed of Company Arrangement as mentioned throughout this financial report.
3. Finance costs
In the finance cost for 31 December 2014 included interest for loans provided for the PAR mining in Indonesia.
4. Contingent Assets and Liabilities
The Group’s subsidiary, South East Asia Energy Resources Pte Limited, had amounts owing to creditors of $685,764 as at 30 June 2014. These amounts were subsequently written off by the Group in the 30 June 2015 period. The Group has had no correspondence from creditors since 30 September 2014 and the subsidiary’s operations have ceased and were closed as last communicated by the company secretary of the subsidiary on 23 February 2015. The Singapore subsidiary has previously been funded solely by the Parent, with its ability to operate reliant on the Parent’s support. When the Parent went into administration and considering the Deed of Company Arrangement referred to within this financial report, it was concluded that the Singapore subsidiary could no longer viably operate. The creditors of the Singapore subsidiary have not made any communication with the Parent with a claim on amounts owed by the Singapore subsidiary and it has been concluded that these creditors are no longer active.
The Directors have determined that the amount of $685,764 is considered a contingent liability given that there is no known present obligation to settle these amounts, however, there is a possibility these amounts may arise in future periods at which point a present and measurable obligations would deemed to have occurred and would be recorded as a provision accordingly.

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 .
Basis for Disclaimed Conclusion
As noted in Note 1(e) to the financial statements, the directors state that the consolidated entity’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the going concern basis of preparation, the consolidated entity has made a number of assumptions including the assumption that the consolidated entity is able to raise capital of $1,000,000 by the 15[th] of September 2017 to settle its obligations under the Deed of Company Arrangement. As at the date of this signed report, we have been unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence that the consolidated entity will raise capital of $1,000,000 by the 15[th] of September in order for us to form an opinion on the financial report.
Disclaimed Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimed Conclusion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for our conclusion. Accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on the financial report.
