NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2009 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards including AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Gateway Mining Ltd. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the company. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2009, together with any public announcements made during the half-year.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements except for the adoption of the following new and revised Accounting Standards.

Accounting Standards not previously applied

The company has adopted the following new and revised Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB which are mandatory to apply to the current interim period. Disclosures required by these Standards that are deemed material have been included in this financial report on the basis that they represent a significant change in information from that previously made available.

Presentation of Financial Statements

AASB 101 prescribes the contents and structure of the financial statements. Changes reflected in this financial report include:

  • the replacement of income statement with statement of comprehensive income. Items of income and expense not recognised in profit or loss are now disclosed as components of ‘other comprehensive income’. In this regard, such items are no longer reflected as equity movements in the statement of changes in equity;

  • the adoption of the separate income statement/single statement approach to the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income;

  • other financial statements are renamed in accordance with the Standard.

Accounting Policies

(a) Exploration and Development Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

GATEWAY MINING LIMITED ABN: 31 008 402 391

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

(b) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit or loss for the period adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

As at balance date the company has estimated carry-forward tax losses of $15,292,821 (June 2009: $14,739,041), which is an income tax benefit of $4,587,846 (June 2009: $4,165,385).

In view of the tax losses, which have not yet been confirmed by the taxation authority, deferred tax accounting has not been adopted.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(c ) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

(d) Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to other comprehensive income.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GATEWAY MINING LIMITED

Priestley &Morris

Chartered Accountants

Report on the Half-year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Gateway Mining Ltd which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2009, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, the accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of Gateway Mining Ltd are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

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 an Interim 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 2009 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 Gateway Mining Ltd, 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 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, provided to the directors of Gateway Mining Limited on 15 March 2010, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the date 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 Gateway Mining Ltd is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2009 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
