Notes to the Interim Financial Statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2015
Note 1 Basis of preparation of half-year report
This general purpose financial report for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting , Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
This interim financial report does not include all the disclosure and notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by Emergent Resources Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
The half year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
In the half year ended 31 December 2015, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. It has been determined by the Company that none of the new accounting standards adopted during the reporting period, have any impact, material or otherwise, and therefore no change is necessary to Company accounting policies.
New accounting standards adopted since the end of the last reporting period
The Company has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2015. 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 Company accounting policies.
No retrospective change in accounting policy or material reclassification has occurred requiring the inclusion of a third Statement of Financial Position as at the beginning of the comparative financial period, as required under AASB 101.
The interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2016.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2015
Note 2 Segment information
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Company is managed on the basis that it is a mineral exploration company operating in the geographical region of Australia. The Company’s Beyondie Project in the Mid-West region of Western Australia is considered the only business segment.
Note 3 Loss for the period
Loss before income tax includes the following specific expenses:
| Depreciation: Office equipment Plant and equipment Exploration costs written off Exploration costs impaired |
31 December 2015 31 December 2014 $ $ (1,109) (1,484) (721) (876) (1,830) (2,360) (1,318,190) - (255,836) |
|---|---|
Note 4 Non-current assets – Capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure
| In the exploration and evaluation phase: Capitalised exploration costs at the start of the year Exploration costs capitalised during the year Exploration costs written off during the year Exploration costs impaired during the year Capitalised exploration costs at the end of the year |
31 December 2015 30 June 2015 1,500,000 4,480,333 74,026 182,397 (1,318,190) - (255,836) (3,162,730) |
|---|---|
| - 1,500,000 |
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
During the period it was decided by the Board and management to provide impairment on all of its capitalised exploration projects. The basis for impairment was comparable peer transactions within the past 6 months together with comparable peer value based on enterprise value per resource tonne of iron ore. This resulted in an impairment charge totalling $255,836 (Dec 2014: $nil).
Capitalised exploration expenditure of $1,318,190 relating to the Beyondie Tenement was written off upon surrender on 13 November 2015.

As the auditor of Emergent Resources 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 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 Emergent Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
a giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 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.
