NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies

These general purpose interim financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.

These general purpose interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements are to be read in conjunction with any public announcements made by the company 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, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.

Comparatives

When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to confirm to changes in presentation for the current half-year ended 31 December 2019. The comparative period is from incorporation on 25 September 2019 to 31 December 2019.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the group

There are no new standards, interpretations or amendments that have affected the current reporting period and neither has there been a retrospective adjustment or current period adjustment as a result of new standards, interpretations or amendments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Going Concern

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $41,819 and net operating cash outflows of $26,531 for the half-year ended 31 December 2020. As at 31 December 2020 the Company had a cash balance of $1,738,284.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:

  • the ability of the Company to raise capital as and when necessary;

  • completion of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of its securities prior to 30 June 2021. This process is well advanced with the Company having appointed IPO managers and commenced its due diligence process; and / or

  • the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Company’s tenements.

These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate due to the following reasons:

  • the successful pre-IPO capital raising completed during H1 FY2021; and

  • the Directors believe there is sufficient cash available for the Company to continue operating until it can raise sufficient further capital to fund its ongoing activities.

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

Note 2 Segment information

The Company operates solely within one segment, being the mineral exploration industry in Australia.

Capitalised exploration and evaluation assets include initial acquisition costs, capitalised costs and a rehabilitation asset (refer note 5).

The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at 31 December 2020, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. In considering this, the Directors have had regard to the facts and circumstances that indicate a need for an impairment as noted in Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources .

Note 8 Commitments

Exploration commitments

the reporting date but not recognised as liabilities payable
2020
$
737,315

So as to maintain current rights to tenure of various exploration tenements, the Company will be required to outlay amounts in respect of tenement exploration expenditure commitments. These outlays, which arise in relation to granted tenements are noted above. The outlays may be varied from time to time, subject to approval of the relevant government departments, and may be relieved if a tenement is relinquished.

Exploration commitments are calculated on the assumption that each of these tenements will be held for its full term. But, in fact, commitments will decrease materially as exploration advances and ground that is shown to be un-prospective is progressively surrendered. Expenditure commitments on prospective ground will be met out of existing funds and new capital raisings.

As at 31 December 2020 the company has met all of its minimum expenditure commitments on its tenements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of PacGold Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of PacGold Limited (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant 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 accompanying half-year financial report of the Company does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Company 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.

Responsibility of the directors for the 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 gives a true and fair view is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 .

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.
