CAPE LAMBERT RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 71 095 047 920 AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2015
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
General Information
This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 and was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of Directors on 15 March 2016
Cape Lambert Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded in the ASX. The principal activity of the Consolidated Entity during the half-year was mineral investment, exploration and evaluation.
This half-year financial report is to be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by Cape Lambert Resources Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .
The half-year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the group as in the full financial report.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements of Cape Lambert have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2015 the Consolidated Entity had cash and cash equivalents of $4,690,026 (30 June 2015: $9,033,714) and net assets of $18,615,014 (30 June 2015: $29,758,422). On 11 January 2016, the Company announced that it had entered into an underwriting agreement with Gulf Energy International Limited for the placement of approximately 94 million shares at 4.25c per share to raise $4m. On 9 March 2016, the Company announced the placement had closed and that funds were due for remittance by 31 March 2016.
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to fulfil its proposed activities in the next 12 months is dependent on the funds from this placement being received, or alternatively the realisation of certain of the Consolidated Entity’s assets, including deferred consideration and loans receivable, for which recovery is not a certainty.
At the date of this report, the directors are satisfied there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Consolidated Entity will be able to continue its planned operations and the Consolidated Entity will be able to meet its obligations as and when they fall due because the directors are confident that the funds from the placement will be received by the specified remittance date and that the Consolidated Entity will be able to realise certain of its assets if required. Should the Consolidated Entity not achieve the matters set out above, there is uncertainty whether the Consolidated Entity would continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Consolidated Entity not be able to continue as a going concern.
Significant Accounting Policies
Except as noted below, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
New and amended accounting standards and interpretations
The Company has adopted all Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective from 1 July 2015, including:
| Reference | Title | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| AASB 2015- 3 |
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031_Materiality_ |
The Standard completes the AASB’s project to remove Australian guidance on materiality from Australian Accounting Standards. |
The adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
The Company has not elected to early adopt any new accounting standards and interpretations.
Significant estimates and judgments
The Consolidated Entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Refer to the most recent annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2015 for a discussion of the significant estimates and judgments.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ( CODM ) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. In the case of the Group the CODM are the executive management team and all information reported to the CODM is based on the consolidated results of the Group as one operating segment, as the Group’s activities relate to mineral exploration.

The value of the exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

the continuance of the rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
the results of future exploration; and

the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

7. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED)
Certain of Cape Lambert’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Indigenous people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.
(a) Impairment
During the six months ended 31 December 2015, Cape Lambert recognised impairment losses in respect of capitalised exploration and evaluation to the extent of $5,857,097 (six months ended 31 December 2014: $9,811,037). The impairment made during the period was recognised on areas of interest where sufficient data existed at balance date to indicate that the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset was unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
The estimated recoverable amount of the Cote D’Ivoire project was determined to be $410,970 on the basis of fair value less costs to dispose (level 3 in the fair value hierarchy).
Impairment of $630,579 was also recognised on fixed assets associated with the Guinea exploration activities, on the basis of an arms-length transaction, which the directors believe represents fair value in an orderly transaction (level 3 in the fair value hierarchy).

² On 15 August 2014 Global Strategic Metals Limited ( Global ) was removed from the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange following the demerger and pro-rata in specie distribution of 80% of the shares in European Lithium Limited. In line with the demerger Global retained the Elizabeth Hill project and European Lithium Limited retained the Wolfsberg Lithium project. Shareholders retained their shareholding in Global and were issued shares in European Lithium Limited on a pro-rata in specie distribution basis. The value of Cape Lambert’s investment in Global was largely transferred to European Lithium given the value of the Wolfsberg Lithium project relative to the Elizabeth Hill project.

(a) Fair Value Estimation
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair values as the carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables / other receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
-
(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and
-
(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

To the members of Cape Lambert Resources Limited
Report on the interim financial report
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Cape Lambert Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity 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 interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the interim 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 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 consolidated entity’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 Cape Lambert Resources Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, 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 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 have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.

Review conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of Cape Lambert Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date
-
b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our review conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which describes the principal conditions that raise doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
