NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activities during the period of the entities within the consolidated entity were exploration for iron ore and gold deposits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The profit of the consolidated entity for the half-year after tax was $1,244,381 (2014: $557,218 loss after tax and non-controlling interests), which includes an impairment charge against the group’s deferred exploration assets of $110,185 (2014: $1,144,664).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Legend has begun early stage exploration on tenements it has an interest in in the Fraser Range District of Western Australia. In addition it has commenced the process to seek shareholder approval for the acquisition of a significant, and complementary tenement package adjacent to the company's existing tenements.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 2 Jul 2015 the Group announced that it had entered into a Tenement Sale and Exploration Joint Venture Agreement (“Creasy Agreement”) with the Creasy Group in the Fraser Range district of Western Australia. Key terms of the Creasy Agreement are:

  • Legend to acquire 70% interest in tenements (E28/2188-2192, E28/1718 and E28/1727) for:

  • $2.5 million cash payment;

  • 71.5 million Legend shares at a deemed price of $0.007 ($500,500); and

  • 150 million five year Legend options exercisable at $0.04.

  • Legend to sole fund exploration and free carry Creasy Group’s 30% interest through to the signing of Mining Venture Agreements.

Shareholders of Legend will be asked to approve the Creasy Agreement at a meeting to be held on 17 September 2015.

On 28 July 2015 the Group announced the reschedule of the payment terms under the Jindal Agreement with the key amendments as follows:

  • The $6 million payment scheduled for 5 August 2015 is now to be paid in two tranches; $3 million on 15 September 2015 and a further $3 million on or before 15 December 2016;

  • Interest of 4% payable quarterly in arrears will be payable on the second $3 million; and

  • The $5.5 million payable under the Jindal Agreement upon the grant of a Mining Convention at the Cameroon Iron Ore Project (“Project”) is now rescheduled to be paid upon the first commercial shipment of iron ore from the Project.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Legend Mining Limited (the Company) for the half-year ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 7 September 2015.

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 2014.

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 2015 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, 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 2014-1 Part A Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle; and

  • AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments.

These standards have introduced new disclosures for the interim report but did not have a material effect on the entity’s accounting policies or on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any other new Standards or amendments that are issued but not yet effective.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(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 2014.

(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.

(c) Information on the classification of options

For the half-year ended 30 June 2015, all options on issue were antidilutive as the various exercise prices were all greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares during the reporting period. This has resulted in the diluted earnings per share being the same as the basic earnings per share. These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

NOTE 5: SEGMENT INFORMATION

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The CODM of the Group is the Board of Directors.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the CODM on a regular basis. The Group had two reportable operating segments, being exploration and evaluation activities in Australia and West Africa, until completion of the sale of the African operations. Following completion of the sale the Group now has only one reportable segment being exploration and evaluation activities in Australia.

The accounting policies applied for internal reporting purposes are consistent with those applied in the preparation of this financial report.

Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, property, plant and equipment, investments in listed entities and capitalised exploration. Segment liabilities consist principally of payables, employee benefits, accrued expenses and provisions.

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 2015, 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 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 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 2015 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 .
