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 2017 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 2017 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.

These half-year financial statements were authorised for issue by a resolution of directors on 15 March 2018.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates or judgements since the last annual reporting date.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted all the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group during the interim reporting period.

Impact of standards issued but not yet applied 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 2017. 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.

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 $299,089 (31 December 2016: $239,821) and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $56,296 (31 December 2016: $69,596). The Group had a net working capital deficiency of $1,022,558 at reporting date (30 June 2017: $722,698).

Of the $1,041,869 in trade and other payables outstanding at reporting date, $880,633 are owed to related parties and internal creditors and $161,236 are owed to external creditors.

MINDAX LIMITED

31 DECEMBER 2017

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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

Agreements and shareholder approval were in place for a share placement to re-finance the Group. The placement funds have been held up at the source jurisdiction, and the required shareholder approvals have since lapsed. The Group is in continued discussions with the unrelated parties that were providing the funding, plus additional parties, with respect to the immediate capital requirements of the Group.

During January 2018 the Group received $50,000 as part of a funding arrangement with Mr Tsang, a director of the Company, to provide a total of $400,000 in funding from unrelated parties of the Company by 15 June 2018, with shares to be issued at $0.005 each.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the continued support from related parties and creditors and successful capital raisings through debt and/or equity. The Group is currently in negotiations with the Group’s creditors to defer payment until the Group has the financial capacity to compensate them.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Management believe there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue as a going concern for the following reasons:

  • Continued support from related parties and creditors; and

  • The ability to raise additional funding through debt and/or equity.

Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that may differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Identification of reportable segments

For management purposes, the Group has identified two 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 two reportable segments identified are:

  1. Gold (comprising the Meekatharra Project); and

  2. Iron Ore (comprising the Mt Forrest Project).

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Mindax Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Mindax Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, 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 half-year then ended, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

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 the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

As the auditor of the Group, 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 the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
