NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

NOTE 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Legend Mining Limited (the Company) for the half-year ended 30 June 2022 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 31 August 2022.

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 nickel and copper deposits in Australia.

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 2021.

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 2022 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 financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. 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.

(b) New Standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2022. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

(c) 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 2022, all options on issue were anti-dilutive as the Group made a loss. This has resulted in 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. The number of dilutive potentially issuable ordinary shares at 30 June 2022 is 155,211,111 (30 June 2021: 155,211,111).

On 11 July 2022, 102,217,540 options exercisable at 7.2 cents each, lapsed unexercised.

NOTE 13: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

During the 2022 half-year there were no new share-based payment transactions.

NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS

Exploration expenditure commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group will be required to outlay approximately $2,373,000 (2021: $2,353,000) in the following twelve months in respect of tenement lease rentals and to meet minimum expenditure requirements of the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. These obligations are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations and have not been provided for in the financial report.

NOTE 15: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are no contingent liabilities at the reporting date.

NOTE 16: EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 11 July 2022, 102,217,540 option exercisable at 7.2 cents each, lapsed unexercised.

On 27 July 2022 Legend Cameroon Pty Ltd was deregistered.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half-year to the date of this report which have significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity.

NOTE 17: DIVIDENDS PAID AND PROPOSED

No dividends were paid or proposed this financial period.

NOTE 18: FAIR VALUES

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 are reasonable approximations of their fair values at those dates.

Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period.

The fair value of the financial assets is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
