DIRECTORS' REPORT

FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

Your directors present their report, together with the condensed financial statements of Predictive Discovery Limited and controlled entities (the Group) for the half year ended 31 December 2013.

DIRECTORS

The names of the directors in office at any time during, or since the end of, the half year are:

NAMES POSITION
Mr Phillip Harman Non-Executive Chairman
Mr Paul Roberts Managing Director
Mr Philip Henty Non-Executive Director
Mr Tim Markwell (appointed 11 September 2013) Non-Executive Director

OPERATING RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR

The consolidated loss of the Group for the half year after providing for income tax amounted to $876,891 (31 December 2012 $499,100).

During the half year the Group focused its attention on its ground in eastern Burkina Faso with a particular focus on the Bongou Prospect. At Bongou, the company carried out a RC and diamond drilling program which resulted in a series of broad, high grade gold intercepts. Trenching about 500m from Bongou revealed another occurrence of gold-bearing altered granite, indicating potential for more Bongou-style mineralisation nearby. A geological study was also completed on the Dave Prospect, 8km from Bongou, which improved the Company's geological understanding of this large, gold mineralised system. Elsewhere, low key, reconnaissance exploration programs commenced on the Kokumbo exploration permit in Cote D'Ivoire which was granted in early July 2013.

Total capital raisings (net of costs) during the period amounted to $1.2 million which was raised via a placement to sophisticated investors at $0.019 per share in September-October 2013.

AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

The lead auditor’s independence declaration for the half year ended 31 December 2013 has been received and can be found on page 3 of the financial report.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION

This consolidated interim financial report for the half year ending 31 December 2013 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 2013, 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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Predictive Discovery Limited & controlled entities (the company), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, 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:

  • a. giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and 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.

==> picture [159 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of Predictive Discovery Limited and controlled entities

==> picture [114 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

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 directors of the company, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

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:

  • a. giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Emphasis of Matter – Going Concern

Without modifying the opinion 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 2013, the ability to continue the exploration and development of the company`s mining tenements is dependent upon future capital raising. Should there be no funding available, explorations of the areas of interest may be put on hold and the recoverability of exploration assets may be realised below their carrying amounts at balance date.
