Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2015

Note 1 Basis of preparation of half-year report

These general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 134: Interim Financial Reporting.

The financial report has been prepared on the historical cost basis.

These half-year financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial statements. Accordingly, these half-year financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by GBM Resources Limited during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The same accounting policies, accounting judgements, key estimates and methods of computation have generally been followed in these half-year financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current half-year.

The consolidated half-year financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 14[th] March 2016.

Going Concern Basis for Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Group to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend on future successful capital raisings, the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements and/or sale of non-core assets.

As at 31 December 2015 the Group has cash assets of $1,278,738, and total current liabilities at that date amounting to $838,421. The loss for the six month period to 31 December 2015 was $408,988 of which $135,568 related to the write off of exploration costs. Operating cash outflows for the six months to 31 December 2015 were $176,077.

During the six months to 31 December 2015 the Company successfully raised $615,947 (before costs) pursuant to a non-renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Issue). The issue of all of the Entitlement Issue shortfall shares was completed subsequent to 31 December 2015, raising a further $778,788 (before costs of the offer). The Group will be required to raise additional funds in order to meet its budgeted expenditure.

The Group’s operations in Mt Isa North Queensland, pursuant to the farm-in arrangement with Pan Pacific and Mitsui are fully funded until 31 March 2016 at which point Pan Pacific and Mitsui will have earned a 51% joint venture interest in the farm-in assets.

10

GBM Resources Limited ABN 91 124 752 745

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2015

Note 1 Basis of preparation of half-year report (Continued)

The Group continues to engage with potential partners to fund the advance of the Mt Coolon gold project, Mt Morgans copper-gold project and the Milo IOCG project, and the Group retains a 26.7% interest in its Associate Angka Alamjaya Sdn Bhd that is currently in the process of listing on the Singapore Securities Exchange.

In addition the Group has implemented a number of cost reduction strategies which include the ongoing reduction of remuneration payable to the Executive Directors until such time as the Board considers that sufficient cash resources are available.

The Directors will continue to manage the Group’s activities with due regard to current and future funding requirements. The directors reasonably expect that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to fund the Group’s exploration and working capital requirements, and that the Group will be able to settle debts as and when they become due and payable. On this basis the Directors are therefore of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate in the circumstances.

Should the Company be unable to raise the required funding, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on whether the company will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Note 2 Segment information

Operating segments are identified and segment information disclosed, where appropriate, on the basis of internal reports reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors, being the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, as defined by AASB 8.

The Group 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. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments, where the segments have similar characteristics. The Group’s activity is mineral exploration and resource development within Australia, and in addition in the comparative period, mineral exploration and resource development in Malaysia (via the investment in an associate).

The reportable segments (stated in Australian $), are represented as follows:

2015

For the six month period ended 31 December 2015 the only reportable segment was mineral exploration in Australia. For the six month period ended 31 December 2014 the Group’s reportable segments also included mineral exploration and resource development in Malaysia (via the investment in an associate). Whilst the Group still holds the investment, the Group’s share of past losses from this associate has reduced the Group’s investment in that associate to $nil, and as a result, there is no segment disclosure to be made in respect of this investment for the current period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of GBM Resources Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of GBM Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year 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 of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the group’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 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 the company, 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 have 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 GBM Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the group’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 the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements which indicates that the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on future successful capital raisings, the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements and/or sale of non-core assets. Should the Group not be able to raise the required funding, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
