Review of Operations

The net loss after income tax for the half‐year was $208,287 (31 December 2015: $1,658,404). At the end of the half‐year the Company had $1,607,048 (30 June 2016: $1,858,836) in cash and at call deposits. Capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure is $nil (30 June 2016: $nil).

Review of Projects

In November 2016 the Company advised it had commenced technical and financial due diligence data on a Hong Kong based entity involved in copper recycling operating in Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces and into Korea, China and Japan. On 11 November 2016 the Company advised that further to its announcement earlier in the month, the Directors were unable to reach commercial terms with the vendors of the Hong Kong based copper recycling business. Accordingly, the Company ceased all negotiations and activities and will not be pursuing the potential acquisition.

The Company intends to conduct further assessment and field evaluation work at the Beyondie Iron Ore Project (E52/2215) in the near term as the Board continues to also evaluate acquisition opportunities.

Beyondie Iron Ore

Subsequent to the period, the Company advised that the field activities at the Beyondie Magnetite Project (E52/2215) located south of Newman, will commence in early February.

Initial work will consist of drill hole rehabilitation followed by an assessment of the target magnetite horizons immediately along strike from the Beyondie Magnetite resource, held by Cosmopolitan Minerals Ltd. The review will include anomalies identified from 3D modelling of a magnetic dataset acquired from surveys over the deposit and immediate surrounding area.

The results of this work will aid in assessing the significance of the geographical anomalies and to confirm whether drill testing of these targets is warranted. Prospecting will also be conducted in other areas of the project that are considered prospective for gold and copper resources.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

For the half‐year ended 31 December 2016

Note 1 Basis of preparation of half‐year report

This general purpose financial report for the interim half‐year reporting period ended 31 December 2016 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 2016 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 2016, 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 2016. 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 2016. 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 15[th] March 2017.

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

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 its Beyondie project. 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 $11,437 (Dec 2015: $255,836).

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 2016 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.
