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.

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.

Accordingly, the Group has only one reportable segment and the results are the same as the Group results.

The value of the exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

  • 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).

1 Although the Company holds less than a 20% interest, these investments are equity accounted given the significant influence the Company has through Mr Sage’s role on the Boards of these companies and the interchange of management personnel.

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.

³ During the period, the investment in IGS was reclassified from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss to associate.

(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).

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.
