PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 871 877 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [120 x 60] intentionally omitted <==
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 2015.
DIRECTORS
The names of the Company’s directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.
Mr Phillip Jackson Non-executive Chairman Mr Paul Roberts Managing Director Mr David Kelly Non-executive Director (appointed 22 January 2016) Mr Phillip Henty Non-executive Director (resigned 30 November 2015) Mr Tim Markwell Non-executive Director (resigned 17 December 2015)
RESULTS
The consolidated loss of the Group for the half year after providing for income tax amounted to $367,843 (31 December 2014: $1,178,959).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the half year to December 2015, the Group moved to a strategy of advancing exploration on its extensive ground holdings in West Africa and Victoria through joint ventures or other types of project-level funding. This change was in response to the very difficult capital raising environment for junior gold explorers in recent times. This new strategy is now partly in place, with drilling having been carried out in Victoria (Cape Clear Joint Venture) and extensive geochemical and geological surveys completed on four of Predictive’s permits in Cote D’Ivoire (Toro Gold Joint Venture). Predictive also expanded its ground holdings in Cote D’Ivoire through an agreement with a local company (XMI SARL) which then held one permit and two permit applications in Cote D’Ivoire. Results from both the Toro Gold and Cape Clear joint ventures have been encouraging. Predictive’s exploration activities in Burkina Faso were on hold during the December half with work supported by new project-level funding expected to re-commence in the first half of 2016.
Total capital raisings (net of costs) during the period amounted to $1.21 million which was raised via a fully subscribed rights issue priced at $0.002 per share in December 2015. Overhead costs were cut further in the period, and, with continuing tight cost control, the capital raised will be sufficient to sustain the Company in its new strategy to mid2017.
AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
A copy of the lead auditor’s independence declaration as required by Section 307c of the Corporations Act 2001 is included within the Financial Report.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of Directors:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
This consolidated interim financial report for the half year ending 31 December 2015 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 2015, 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.
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 beyond the foreseeable future 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.
| NOTE 2: DEFERRED EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE Carrying amount at beginning of year Expenditure Impairment Movement in exchange rates |
Consolidated 31 December 2015 $ 30 June 2015 $ 10,338,343 15,639,370 332,312 1,002,766 -91,201 (6,320,397) - 16,604 10,579,454 10,338,343 |

|---|---|---|
| 10,338,343 |
The Group has capitalised exploration expenditure of $10,579,454 (30 June 2015: $10,338,343). This amount includes costs directly associated with exploration and the purchase of exploration properties. These costs are capitalised as an intangible asset until assessment and / or drilling of the permit is complete and the results have been evaluated. These direct costs include employee remuneration, materials, permit rentals and payments to contractors. The expenditure is carried forward until such a time as the area moves into the development phase, is abandoned or sold. Given exploration activities have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of recoverable resources and the difficulty in forecasting cash flows to assess the fair value of exploration expenditure there is uncertainty as to the carrying value of exploration expenditure. The ultimate recovery of the carrying value of exploration expenditure is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the interest in the tenements. The Directors are of the opinion that the exploration expenditure is recoverable for the amount stated in the 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 . 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 2015 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 to the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2015, 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.
Emphasis of Matter ‐ Inherent Uncertainty regarding Recoverability of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Without modifying the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of the matter described in Note 2 to the financial statements, there is uncertainty as to whether the company will be able to recover the carrying value of exploration expenditure for the amount recorded in the financial report. The ultimate recovery of the carrying value of exploration expenditure, and future exploration expenditure, is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the interest in the tenements.
