CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

1. Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance

The Financial Report is a general purpose Financial Report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The Financial Report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Financial Report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale investments, which have been measured at fair value. Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

The presentation currency of the Group is Australian dollars.

a) Incomplete Records

The financial report has been compiled from the extracted MYOB records for the Company that were made available to the Deed Administrators and Liquidators. Reasonable effort has been made by the appointed Deed Administrators and Liquidators to ascertain the position of the Company as at 31 December 2016.

To prepare the Financial Report, the appointed Deed Administrators and Liquidators have extracted data from the Company's accounting system. However, there may be information that the appointed Deed Administrators and Liquidators have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material on the accounts. These financial statements do not contain all the required information or disclosures in relation to transactions undertaken by the Company as this information is unascertainable by the subsequently appointed Deed Administrators/Liquidators.

Consequently, the appointed Deed Administrators and Liquidators have extracted the information for this financial report and they are of the opinion that it is not possible to state that this financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standard Board and the Corporations Act 2001, nor is it possible to state this financial report gives a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2016 and for the period then ended.

2. Going concern

The Group incurred a net loss after income tax of \$NIL for the half year ended 31 December 2016 (2015: net loss after income tax of \$236,708), net operating cash outflows of \$* (2015: \$*) and at reporting date has net assets of \$(3,958,858) (30 June 2016: \$(3,958,858)). As at 31 December 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of \$7,666* (30 June 2015: \$7,666).

As detailed in Note 1, to prepare the Financial Report, the appointed Deed Administrators and Liquidators have extracted data from the Company's accounting system. However, there may be information that the appointed Deed Administrators and Liquidators have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material on the accounts. These financial statements do not contain all required information or disclosures in relation to transactions undertaken by the Company as this information is unascertainable by the subsequently appointed Deed Administrators and Liquidators.

The company was suspended from the ASX on 27 November 2014 and subsequently placed in liquidation and then administration.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through the DOCA2.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity'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.

The DOCA2 provides for the compromise of creditors' claims, recapitalisation of the Company and (subject to regulatory approval) re-quotation of its securities on the ASX.

The Company expects to recapitalise following completion of the DOCA2 with sufficient funds to continue as a going concern.

The Proponent of the DOCA2 has informed the Deed Administrators that there will be an initial capital raising of between \$750,000 and \$1,000,000, which will be utilised to undertake a relisting process. Then through an IPO the company will look to raise a minimum of \$2,000,000.

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 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 entity not continue as a going concern.

$3.$ Significant Accounting Policies

Australian accounting standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and to the best of the Deed Administrators'/Liquidators' knowledge, have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016.

AASB 16 Leases AASB 16 provides a new lessee accounting model
which requires a lessee to recognise assets
and liabilities for all leases with a term of
more than 12 months, unless the underlying
asset is of low value. A lessee measures right-
of-use assets similarly to other non-financial
assets and lease liabilities similarly to other
financial liabilities. Assets and liabilities
arising from a lease are initially measured on
a present value basis. The measurement
includes non-cancellable lease payments
(including inflation-linked payments), and
also includes payments to be made in
optional periods if the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise an option to extend the
lease, or not to exercise an option to
terminate the lease. AASB 16 contains
disclosure requirements for lessees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Ausroc Metals Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement/In Liquidation)

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We were engaged to review the accompanying half-year financial report of Ausroc Metals Limited (subject to Deed of Company Arrangement/In Liquidation), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 16, 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 ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Deed Administrators'/Liquidators' 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.

The Deed Administrators' and Liquidators' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The Deed Administrators and Liquidators 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 Deed Administrators and Liquidators 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. Because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for expressing a conclusion on the half-year financial report.

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 Deed Administrators and Liquidators of Ausroc Metals Limited) (subject to Deed of Company Arrangement/In Liquidation), would be in the same terms if given to the Deed Administrators and Liquidators as at the time of this auditor's review report.

Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion

(i) On 23 August 2016, the powers of the Directors of Ausroc Metals Limited (subject to Deed of Company Arrangement/In Liquidation) were suspended upon liquidation of the Company and the Deed Administrators and Liquidators were appointed to assume control of the Company's business, property and affairs. As stated in note 1(a) of the financial report, the financial report has been prepared by the Deed Administrators and Liquidators who were not in office for the periods presented in this report, and the Deed Administrators and Liquidators did not have oversight or control over the Group's financial reporting systems including (but not limited to) being able to obtain access to the complete accounting records of the Group.

As a result of this matter, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence or determine whether any adjustments might have been found necessary in respect of the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows.

(i) As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial report, the Deed Administrators and Liquidators state that the consolidated financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the going concern basis of preparation, the Deed Administrators and Liquidators have made a number of assumptions including the assumption that the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon securing additional funding through the DOCA2. The DOCA2 provides for the compromise of creditors' claims, recapitalisation of the Company, an initial capital raising of between \$750,000 and \$1,000,000 and (subject to regulatory approval) re-quotation of its securities on the ASX.

We have been unable to obtain alternative evidence which would provide sufficient appropriate evidence as to whether the Company may be able to raise such capital, and hence remove significant doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of this auditor's review report.

Disclaimer of Conclusion

Due to the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to form a conclusion on the accompanying financial statements of Ausroc Metals Limited (subject to Deed of Company Arrangement/In Liquidation). Accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on these financial statements.
