The financial report of Legend Mining Limited (the Company) for the half-year ended 30 June 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 11 September 2014.
Legend Mining Limited is a company incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are exploration for iron ore, gold and base metal deposits.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of Legend Mining Limited for the year ended 31 December 2013.
It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Legend Mining Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 30 June 2014 in accordance with the continuance disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
(a) Basis of preparation
The half-year financial report is a general-purpose condensed financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and the assets of the disposal group classified as held for sale, 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.
(b) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
The Company has adopted all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB which are mandatory to apply to the current period as listed below:
-
AASB 1031 Materiality;
-
AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards;
-
AASB CF 2013-1 Amendments to the Australian Conceptual Framework and AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments;
-
AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements;
-
AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to AASB 132);

AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets; and
-

The Group has not elected to early adopt any other new Standards or amendments that are issued but not yet effective.
(c) Significant accounting policies
The half-year financial report has been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
(d) Estimates
The preparation of the half-year financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The equity investments are all classified as held for trading. The market value of all equity investments represent the fair value based on quoted prices on active markets (ASX) as at the reporting date without any deduction for transaction costs. These investments are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy used in measuring the fair value of these financial instruments, or changes in its classification as a result of a change in the purpose or use of these assets.
(a) Bank deposit held as security for credit cards. At 30 June 2014 this deposit is held on a 6 month term deposit with an interest rate of 3.7% per annum (31 December 2013, 6 months at 3.75%pa).

On 20 November 2013 Legend announced that it had entered into a Share Sale and Debt Assignment Agreement (“Agreement”) for the sale of Legend’s 90% interest in Camina SA, the holding company of the Ngovayang Project in the Republic of Cameroon (the “Transaction”). The sale is to be implemented by the sale of 100% of Legend’s wholly-owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary, Legend Iron Limited (“Company”), and transfer of intercompany debts by Legend Cameroon Pty Ltd (“Seller”) to Jindal Mining & Exploration Limited (“Purchaser”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, Legend shall receive cash consideration of:
-
$6 million upon completion of the Transaction;
-
$6 million twelve months after completion; and
-
$5.5 million within 10 business days of the execution of a Mining Convention between the purchaser and the Government of Cameroon.
The fair value of the disposal group, classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, has been determined by reference to the estimated fair value of the consideration receivable. In determining fair value, the first tranche of $6 million has been valued at its face value given the expected short term maturity thereof. The second tranche of $6 million is due to be received on 22 July 2015 and has been discounted at 8% over this period.
The contingent consideration of $5.5 million is dependent upon the execution of a mining convention between the purchaser and the government of Cameroon. Given the probability and time risk of the mining convention being executed, the directors have taken a conservative view and assigned a nil fair value to the contingent consideration.
Completion occurred on 22 July 2014 and the first tranche of $6 million was received on 5 August 2014.

NOTE 10: DEFERRED EXPLORATION ASSETS (cont’d)
Note:
-
(i) Deferred exploration assets for the current period relate solely to Australian-based projects, with the Group’s West African projects included in the disposal group classified as held for sale (refer note 8). During the 2013 interim period the carrying value of the West African projects 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
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 2014, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 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 2014 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:

-
b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
