__________________________________________________________________________

Directors

The following persons were directors of the company during the half year and up to the date of this report:

Parmesh Vakil – Managing Director (Appointed 18 November 2011) David Alan Zohar – Executive Director John Karajas – Non Executive Director Zhukov Pervan – Non Executive Director and Chairman Noel Taylor – Non Executive Director

Review of Operations

The principal activity of the Company during the course of the financial period was mineral exploration.

The net loss of the company for the half year ended 31 December 2011 was $1,080,400 (2010: $462,773). No dividends were paid and the directors have not recommended the payment of a dividend.

Western Australia

1. Tambellup Project: (E70/4173, E70/4174)

Two exploration licenses were granted in October 2011, Tambellup E70/4173 Granted Tambellup East E70/4174 and exploration work can now progress on this project in the New Year.

The Company is targeting structural targets for gold mineralization namely the north-west trending Darkan fault zone which is interpreted from geophysical work to trend from Boddington situated 137km to the north-west and the lesser Kojonup fault which lies 5-6km to the south and runs parallel to the Darkan fault. An aeromagnetic high situated in the south east corner of the eastern tenement will also be targeted. The Company's geologists have prepared a work programme of soil sampling. Structural, aeromagnetic, geochemical and topographic information was used. Work to follow up on eight nickel and copper anomalous areas will be conducted as well.

2. Redmond Project: (E70/ 4073)

This application (E70/4073) is currently going through the Native Title process and covers approximately 37km² and is centered on the Blue Gum gold prospect which was reported on in newspapers in the late 1890's. The historical workings are reported to be situated approximately 24km south west of Mt Barker in Western Australia and consisted of several vertical shafts and small pits. With the passage of time all surface evidence has since disappeared due to farming activity. The workings pre-date official Mines Department records, therefore besides the noted 1890's newspaper reports lodged at the department there are no official mining lease records. The project area lies within the Albany-Fraser Proterozoic Mobile Belt and is prospective for gold and base metals. Exploration will commence in the New Year.

3. Victoria Desert Project**:** (E39/1528, E39/1594)

The Project area is situated 250km ENE of Kalgoorlie and covers an area of approximately 185km² and is prospective for gold, base metals and uranium. The area is covered by undulating WNW trending sparsely vegetated static sand dunes with an average height of 10-15 metres.

U N I T E D O R O G E N L I M I T E D D I R E C T O R S ' R E P O R T

The project is underlain by narrow belts of north-west trending greenstone of the Narnoo Greenstone Belt within granites interpreted from aeromagnetic surveys. Mafic and ultramafic lithologies are present in a structural setting of north and north-west trending brittle deformed faults. The area is therefore prospective for gold, base metals and uranium. The Company will follow up with infill surface sampling in 2012.

__________________________________________________________________________

4. Horseshoe Project: (E52/2016, E52/2569)

The Company's exploration of both projects has included a heliborne geophysical survey which indicated no deep conductors are present in this area negating the possibility of a deep sulphide deposit. This area is now being targeted for north-west striking structurally controlled gold mineralization due to the vicinity of known deposits in the area however field checking and a data review of previous soil geochemistry, mapping and drilling carried out by Dominion Mining in this area did not produce encouraging results. Additional work will be required in the north-west area of the tenement to determine the prospectivity of the project area.

5. Gunnedo Project: (E69/2825)

The tenement was granted in July 2010.The tenement is located within the Eucla Basin approximately 450km east of Kalgoorlie and covers an area of 132km². Previous exploration is very limited which includes aeromagnetic and gravity surveys and two partly government funded (50%) diamond holes drilled to a depth of 400m each. The Company will re-evaluate the prospectivity of this area, commencing with the re-logging, sampling and the assaying of intervals of interest in the diamond holes in early 2012.

6. Oil and Gas Exploration Western Australia: (EP448)

This lease is in the Canning Basin. The future of this tenement is being debated.

__________________________________________________________________________

The above Statement of Cash Flows should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

1. Basis of Preparation

These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

__________________________________________________________________________

These half yearly financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in the annual financial statements. Accordingly, these statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public announcements made by United Orogen 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, except as set out below:

Going Concern

For the half year ended 31 December 2011, the company recorded a loss of $1,080,400. At 31 December 2010, the cash balance was $444,941.

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have undertaken a review of the Company's mining tenements and operating structure, and have entered into a Heads of Agreement with Iron Mountain Mining Limited to alleviate some of its tenement commitments until such time that future capital raising can be undertaken in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves.

Should future capital raising and/or asset sales be insufficient to meet the budgeted operational activities of the Company, then the going concern basis of accounting may not be appropriate with the result that the Company may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and in amounts different from that stated in the financial statements.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded amounts that might be necessary should United Orogen Ltd not be able to continue as a going concern.

2. Segment Reporting

The company's sole operations are within the mineral exploration industry within Australia.

The company has applied AASB 8 Operating Segments from 1 July 2009. AASB 8 requires a "management approach" under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes.

Given the nature of the company, its size and current operations management does not treat any part of the company as a separate operating segment. Internal financial information used by the company's decision makers is presented on a "whole of entity" manner without dissemination to any separately identifiable segments.

The company managers operate to manage the business as a whole without any special responsibilities for any separately identifiable segments of the business.

Accordingly the financial information reported elsewhere in this financial report is representative of the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.

Independent Review Report to the Members of United Orogen Ltd

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The interim financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, cashflow statement, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors declaration for United Orogen Ltd for the half-year ended 31 December 2011.

The Company's directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Review approach

We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim 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 interim financial report isnot in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the finan 31 December 2011 and the performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Australian AccountingStandard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of United Ltd, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of an interim 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of United Orogen Ltd is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • giving a true and fair view of the financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of the performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
