REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The total loss from continuing operations for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 was $2,368,521 (2011 – $2,193,668).

The Company’s activities during the six month period are summarised in this report which unless otherwise stated, should be read as if dated 31 December 2012.

In the six months covered by this report the Company has focused its efforts on advancing the Feasibility Study on the North Perth Basin Project and on exploration work and other field surveys at Boonanarring. The Project is on track for completion of the Feasibility Study in July 2013 and commencement of production by the end of 2014.

In October 2012, the Company released the results of the first of the new JORC Resources at Boonanarring Block B. The initial drilling programme on Block C was completed during the period and drilling on Blocks A, D and E to bring these to JORC Indicated status was planned during the half year (and completed in February 2013).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Boonanarring resource shown in Table 1 only includes the resources within the existing Mining Lease area acquired from Iluka during 2011 (Block D) and in Block B, with a combined (but not continuous) strike length of 3.6km. The full potential strike length at Boonanarring is over 12km.

Figure 1 - Boonanarring Drilling Status as at 31.12.2012

The Feasibility Study work, carried out during the first half year by a team of independent consultants, all with extensive experience in their individual fields, included:

• environmental field studies and discussions with the relevant government agencies regarding the environmental approvals process for the Boonanarring deposit, the level of assessment and the scope for the Pubic Environmental Review;

• preliminary hydrological modeling and planning for hydrological drilling programmes;

• heritage surveys at Boonanarring;

• resource upgrades;

• open pit mine optimisation and scheduling studies;

• bulk sample process testwork;

• ongoing assessment of product quality and marketability/pricing;

• consideration of logistics arrangements and costs;

• Mining Lease application for the northern Section at Boonanarring;

• land access negotiations;

• community consultation;

• Page 4 -

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

• Native Title negotiations for the Atlas deposit;

• ongoing preliminary economic analysis; and

• preparation for parallel independent expert review of the technical studies.

Project development schedules are dependent on the environmental approvals processes, but commencement of operations at Boonanarring in 2014 remains achievable.

PROJECT FUNDING

In early December, Image announced that it had secured funding of $6.7M via the issue of 33,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares at 20 cents each.

The funds raised, together with current working capital, exceed the current estimated costs for Image to complete a Bankable Feasibility Study on its Boonanarring and Atlas mineral sands projects in the North Perth Basin.

The funds raised cover costs related to technical studies, environmental and mining approvals at Boonanarring and also augment general working capital. The raising will also fund limited exploration at the Bidaminna project and other high priority project areas.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2012 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard 134: Interim Financial Reporting .

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on the date of the Directors Declaration.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of the Company. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012, together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals and historical cost basis, except where indicated, and on the going concern basis that contemplates normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Accounting Policies

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.

The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Company.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards of Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been adopted early.

NOTE 2 OPERATING SEGMENTS

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified that it operates in only one segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Company's principal activity is mineral exploration.

Revenue and assets by geographical region

The Company's revenue is received from sources and assets located wholly within Australia.

Major customers

Due to the nature of its current operations, the Company does not provide products and services.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the members of Image Resources NL

Report on the Half-year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Image Resources NL, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-year Financial Report

The directors of Image Resources NL are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) 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 financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of Image Resources NL's financial position as at 31 December 2012 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 Image Resources NL, 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 .

• Page 16 -

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 Image Resources NL is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

• (a) giving a true and fair view of Image Resources NL’s financial position as at 31 December 2012 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 .
