LEIGH CREEK ENERGY LIMITED ACN 107 531 822 AND CONTROLLED ENTITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

NOTE 1 - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Nature of operations

Leigh Creek Energy Limited’s principal activity is mineral, energy and coal exploration.

b) General information and basis of preparation

The interim consolidated financial statements (the interim financial statements) of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December 2015 and are presented in Australian dollars($), which is the functional currency of the parent company. These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with AIFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for profit entity for the purposes of preparing its financial statements.

The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the board of directors on 26 February 2016.

c) Significant accounting Policies

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these interim financial statements.

d) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends of economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

i) Key estimates- impairment

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

ii) Key judgements – exploration and evaluation expenditure

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.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.
