DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your Directors submit the financial report of the Group for the half-year ended 30 June 2012.

Directors

The names of directors who held office during the half-year:

Mr Peter J Ashcroft Mr Ian A Johns Mr Mark Cashmore

Consolidated Results

The consolidated loss of the Group after provision of income tax for the half-year was \$860,017.

Review of Operations

The Group's exploration activities were primarily focused on the Vatovorona Gold Project in central Madagascar, where a drilling program has commenced in order to delineate the ore zone for mapping and sampling. 3200 metres of samples and core are waiting pre-sampling preparation and thereafter assaying.

The diamond, gold and sapphire exploration projects in Australia were not the priority whilst efforts were focused on the Madagascan project, and there was little activity on these projects during the half year as a result.

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

La Jolla Cove Investors Inc

Under the convertible note agreement entered the Group signed with La Jolla Cove Investors Inc, the Group received addition convertible note proceeds of US\$450,000 in the six months to 30 June 2012.

The agreement and outstanding convertible notes were cancelled in May 2012 due to the Directors' concerns regarding the manner of conversion and trading by La Jolla Cove Investors.

The company and La Jolla have agreed to settle a termination of the funding agreement on the following key terms;

    1. The Company will issue to La Jolla 133.333 million ordinary shares in the Company calculated at AUD0.0015 per share (the "Settlement Shares"), which represents a settlement payment of US\$200,000.
    1. La Jolla has agreed not sell any of the Settlement Shares during the sixty (60) days following the settlement and to limit its sales to the greater of \$14,000 per month, or seven percent (7%) of the Settlement Shares.
    1. The funding agreement and convertible note are to be cancelled upon the issue of the Settlement Shares.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONT.)

Greenward Willing

In May 2012, Torian entered a mandate agreement for the provision of funding to at least \$980,000. An initial placement of \$80,000 was provided to the company at \$0.001 per share (80 million shares) together with 80 million unlisted options exercisable at \$0.005 on or before 15 December 2013 and a further sum of \$170,000 by way of two convertible notes with zero interest convertible within 12 months of its issue at a 20% discount to the VWAP of the previous five trading days to the conversion.

Each note was fully converted during the period at \$0.0008 per share resulting in the issue of 212,500 ordinary shares. No further funds were provided or organised by Greenard Willing and the company terminated the agreement by mutual consent.

Matters subsequent to the end of the half year

Funding

Subsequent to 30 June 2012, the Group entered into a mandate agreement with Novus Capital Limited whereby Novus will provide advice on capital raising, investor relations and assist on a best endeavours basis with raising an initial \$500,000 by way of placement or convertible note and thereafter assist with a rights issue or similar with a minimum target of \$750,000.

Strategic Alliance

In July 2012, the Group announced that it had entered into a strategic alliance with the Indigenous Monetary Fund of Australia (IMFA). The parties have agreed to jointly manage the new initiative, with Torian being the primary operator in respect to exploration and mining projects in Australia and IMFA providing referrals and funding for the various projects.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Note 1: Basis of Preparation

The half-year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2011 and any public announcements made by Torian Resources NL and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the entities in the consolidated group and are consistent with those in the 31 December 2011 financial report.

The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The half-year financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Note 2: Going Concern

The Directors have prepared the half-year financial report on the basis that the Company is a going concern. During the half-year ended 30 June 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of \$860,017.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon the generation of future cash inflows, through one or more of the following avenues:

  • The inflow of revenue;
  • The receipt of additional debt or equity funds;
  • The disposal of non-current assets.

Any inability to obtain these additional cash inflows may have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF TORIAN RESOURCES NL

Report on the Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Torian Resources NL (the company) which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, accompanying notes and directors' declaration of the company.

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial report in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the interim 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.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the interim 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 interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including; giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 30 June 2012, and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Torian Resources NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of an interim 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 that 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 mattes that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Statement of Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF TORIAN RESOURCES NL (continued)

Review Opinion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half vear financial report of Torian Resources NL does not present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of Torian Resources NL as at 30 June 2012, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the half year period ended on that date in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Significant Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements. For the half-year ended 30 June 2012, the consolidated group incurred a net loss after tax of \$860,017 (2011: loss \$1,813,859). The consolidated group generated negative cash flows from operating activities for the period of \$442,589 (2011: negative \$369,575). The consolidated group's deficiency in net current assets at 30 June 2012 was \$232,281.

The ability of the company and the consolidated group to continue as a going concern depends upon the generation of future cash inflows, through one or more of the following avenues:

  • The inflow of revenue:
  • The receipt of additional debt or equity funds; and
  • The disposal of non-current assets.

Any inability to obtain these additional cash inflows may have a material adverse effect on the Company's and Consolidated Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
