During the half year the Group continued to explore its gold prospects at the Bonsiega Laterite Hill and Bangaba projects in Burkina Faso, encountering numerous broad near-surface gold intercepts over a 2km strike length. The Group earned a 60% holding in Birrimian Pty Limited, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands, holding 4 permits in Burkina Faso, as the results of an agreement with ElDore Mining Corporation Limited in which Predictive Discovery Limited was required to spend \$2 million on exploration.

A total of \$5.2 million was raised in two separate tranches during half year, a placement to Acorn Capital of \$2.6 million and a fully underwritten rights issue to shareholders at \$0.185 per share.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION

This consolidated interim financial report for the half year ending 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Predictive Discovery Limited and controlled entities (the Group). As such it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group. This interim consolidated financial report does not include all the notes normally included in an annual financial report. It is therefore recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2011, together with any public announcements made during the half year. The same accounting policies and methods of valuation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial report.

(B) KEY JUDGEMENT – GOING CONCERN

The interim financial report has been prepared using the going concern basis. The Directors have determined that as with similar companies, future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements (some subject to an option payment) to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves. The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the company raising additional capital sufficient to meet the company's exploration commitments. Should there be no funding available exploration of the areas of interest may be put on hold. The recoverability of the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest. The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the foreseeable future reflecting this expectation and their effect upon the company. The achievement of the forecast is dependent upon the future capital raising, the outcome of which is uncertain.

2 DEFERRED EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE

The following table details the movement in deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure reported in the concise statement of financial position during the half year.

The recoupment of deferred exploration and evaluation costs carried forward is dependent upon the successful development and commercialisation or sale of the areas of interests being explored and evaluated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)

As at the date of exercise, the weighted average share price of options exercised during the half year was \$0.26 (30 June 2011: \$0.25).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at half year end was 3.63 years (30 June 2011: 4.14).

The fair value of the options granted to employees is deemed to represent the value of the employee services received over the vesting period.

The fair value of the options granted during the half year was \$ 50,253.00 (31 December 2010: \$ 230,532.00). These values were calculated by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs: Dividend yield (%): -

Exercise price (cents): 31
Life of option (years): 4
Expected share price volatility (%): 77.60
Risk-free interest rate (%): 4.21

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it assumed that this is indicative of future movements.

The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

9 EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 1 February 2012, the Group announced it had increased its equity interest in Birrimian Pty Ltd to 72%.

Except for the above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

Chairman

Dated: 15 March 2012

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Predictive Discovery Limited (the company), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the condensed income statement, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity, the condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.

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 (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) 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 Standards on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports 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 company's financial position as at 31 December a. 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and b. the Corporations Regulations 2001.

As the auditor of the company, 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 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 half-year financial report of the company 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 a. 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations $b1$ Regulations 2001.

Inherent uncertainty

Without qualification to the conclusion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of the matters described in the section entitled "Key Judgement - Going Concern" in Note 1 (b) to the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2011, the ability to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements is dependent upon future capital raisings.
