NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by ABM Resources NL 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: AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements – There is no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements as the Group does not have any special purpose entity; AASB 11 Joint Arrangement – There is no impact on the transactions and balance recognised in the financial statements as the Group has not entered into any joint arrangements; AASB 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities – There is no impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements; AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement – The additional disclosures were included for items measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, as well as items merely disclosed at fair value in the notes to the financial statements.
(b) Estimates
The preparation of the half-year financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these consolidated half-year financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The full Board of Directors, who are the chief operating decision makers, has identified two reportable segments from a geographical prospective with the mineral exploration segments being, the Northern Territory and Other segments.
Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of exploration and evaluation expenditure for each geographical area. The measure excludes items such as the effects of share based payments expenses, interest income and corporate expenses as these activities are centralised.

(a) Environmental
The Group provides for all known environmental liabilities. While the Directors believe that, based upon current information, its current provisions for the environmental rehabilitation are adequate, there can be no assurance that material new provisions will not be required as a result of new information or regulatory requirements with respect to known sites or identification of new remedial obligations at other sites. Bank guarantees totalling $1,637,190 (2012: $783,216) have been provided. Term deposits of $431,000 (2012: $783,216) secure these guarantees. The remaining $1,206,190 are non-cash backed performance bonds under a performance bond facility with ANZ Banking Group Limited, which under certain circumstances may require cash-backing.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of ABM Resources NL
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of ABM Resources NL, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.
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 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 Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 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 . As the auditor of ABM Resources NL, 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 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 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of ABM Resources NL, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
