The halfyear financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value.

The half-year financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are expressed as whole dollars.

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

Note:

(i) The carrying value of the Group’s projects in West Africa were reviewed, and impairment recognised, based on the following:

  • Value is anticipated to be recovered through either sale of the projects or exploitation of the projects by the Group;

  • The carrying value has been determined by reference to the estimated fair value of the projects; and

  • The fair value was supported by discussions held with potential partners.

  • (ii) The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

To the members of Legend Mining Limited

Consolidated Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Legend Mining Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated 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 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 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 controls as the directors determine are 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 the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2013 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 Legend Mining 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 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 . 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.

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 Legend Mining 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 30 June 2013 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 .
