The Company has consolidated its tenement holding due to the severely constrained funding conditions present in the capital markets and particularly affecting small capital exploration companies. The Company has explored various funding opportunities and will continue to do so. It is the Company’s objectives to restart its exploration programs as soon as funding is available.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2014 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .

This consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide a full understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as full financial statements. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by Mindax Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. Capitalised expenditure in relation to tenements relinquished during the current period has been fully impaired, and an amount of $2,187,921 has been impaired against the Mt Forrest Project following Board review of the current economic climate, including the iron ore price.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period, however, the Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. There will be some changes to the disclosures in the 30 June 2015 annual report as a consequence of these amendments.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current half-year that are relevant to the Group include:

  • AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to AASB 132) ; and

  • AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for NonFinancial Assets .

New standards and interpretations not adopted by the Group

The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2014. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

MINDAX LIMITED

31 DECEMBER 2014

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the reporting period the Group incurred a net loss of $6,461,895 and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $548,916. The Group had a net working capital deficiency of $822,676 at the reporting date.

Subsequent to the reporting date (refer note 11), the Group has received the gross proceeds from its Research and Development Grant amounting to $757,895, and extended the repayment dates of its borrowings to 31 March 2016. The directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital if required. The directors believe that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the Group be unsuccessful in undertaking additional raisings, or continue with funding from joint venture partnerships, the Group may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments whereby segment information is presented using a 'management approach'. That is, segment information is provided on the same basis as information used for internal reporting purposes.

This has resulted in the segment being disaggregated into four reportable segments based on the minerals present in the Projects detailed in the Quarterly Activities Report released to the Australian Securities Exchange each quarter, prepared by management. Based on the contents of this report, the four reportable segments identified are:

  1. Uranium (comprising the Yilgarn Avon Joint Venture (JV) – Palaeochannel Project and other non JV projects);

  2. Gold (comprising the Meekatharra North Project);

  3. Copper and Gold (comprising the Yilgarn Avon Joint venture – Mortlock Project); and

  4. Iron Ore (comprising the Mt Forrest and Fred’s Bore Project).

NOTE 3: EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated expenditures in respect of that area are impaired in the financial period the decision is made. Impairment recognised during the current period relates to:

  • writing off the accumulated expenditures in relation to the tenements relinquished during the period ($3,513,649); and

  • a $2,187,921 impairment against the carrying value of the Mt Forrest Project following Board review of the current economic climate, including the iron ore price.

NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

There were no financial assets or liabilities at 31 December 2014 or 30 June 2014 requiring fair value estimation and disclosure as they are either not carried at fair value or in the case of short term assets and liabilities, their carrying values approximate fair value.

NOTE 11: EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE

On 4 March 2015 the company received the gross proceeds from its Research and Development Grant amounting to $757,895. The directors have forecast that this cash balance is sufficient to maintain the company on a care and maintenance basis while additional equity funding is sourced.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Mindax Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Mindax Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of 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’s 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 control as the directors determine is 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 half-year 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 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 Mindax Limited, 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Mindax Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review 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 Mindax 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 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the consolidated entity’s tenements, and/or sale of non-core assets. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, 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.
