FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
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 2020 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 2020 and any public announcements made by Prodigy Gold 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.
(b) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting which assumes that the Group will be able to meet its commitments, complete rehabilitation, realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group has sufficient cash reserves to fund an extensive exploration program and joint venture contributions during the foreseeable future.
(c) 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 2020.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The full Board of Directors, who are the chief operating decision makers, identified the Exploration segment as the only reportable segment. Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of exploration expenditure for each activity. The measure excludes items such as interest income and corporate expenses as these activities are centralised.

(a) Other receivables
These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group, and do not contain any past due assets that are not impaired.
The Group has applied the general approach as permitted by AASB 9 which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivable. An allowance for expected credit loss was not recognised based on the Group's credit risk management processes, determining the resulting credit losses as insignificant.

NOTE 6: CONTINGENCIES
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.
Environmental guarantees totalling $2,379,868 (2020: $2,322,404) have been provided. Term deposits of $2,275,504 (2020: $2,275,504) and cash deposits of $104,364 (2020: $46,900) with the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade – NT Government (DITT) secure these guarantees. Restoration provisions of $1,692,838 (2020: $1,686,230) have been recognised for all known required restoration cost.
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
NOTE 7: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Zero exercise price options ("Zepos")
During the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020, the Group granted 1,050,000 Zepos as an equity incentive to employees which were issued on 1 July 2020 and 400,000 Zepos to Matt Briggs, which were issued on 2 November 2020 following approval by shareholders at the AGM. The final number of Zepo's vesting is subject to KPI's and Company performance criteria.
The performance conditions attached to the Zepos means the achievement of KPIs, comprising the discovery and definition of a substantial new deposit of >1Moz JORC Resource, category inferred or better, within an optimised design and having an average cost of production of <A$1200/oz (Resource Target) and total shareholder return (TSR) on the 5 day VWAP for the trading days prior to 1 July 2020 ($0.047) (Base Price), scored and weighted as follows:
| KPI | Number of Zepo's | 100% | 50% | 0% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resource Target | Tranche A: 725,000 | 1Moz or more | At least 500koz, but less than | Less than 500koz |
| Non-market condition | added | 1Moz, added | added | |
| TSR | Tranche B: 725,000 | At least two times | At least 1.5 times the Base | Less than 1.5 times |
| Market condition | the Base Price | Price but less than two times | the Base Price | |
| the Base Price |
The number of options that vest in accordance with the LTI will be reduced by the EHS Multiplier in respect of the period 1 July 2022 to 1 July 2023.

| Likelihood of vesting by vesting date | 20% | N/A | 20% | N/A | 20% | N/A |
The fair value of all Zepos subject to non-market conditions at grant date were determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the anticipated vesting period, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying Zepos, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the Zepos. Due to past and possible future exploration delays during the COVID-19 pandemic, the likelihood of achieving nonmarket KPI's has been significantly diminishing. The Board determined a 20% probability of achieving these KPI's by 1 July 2023.
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
NOTE 7: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS cont'd
The fair value of the Zepos subject to market conditions requires for the share price to rise to 7.1cents per share for 50% of the Zepos subject to market condition to vest and a rise to 9.4cents per share for 100% to vest. The fair value of all Zepos subject to market conditions at grant date were determined using a Monte Carlo pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the anticipated vesting period, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying Zepos, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the Zepos.
During the period $6,493 of expense was recorded relating to Zepos issued to Matt Briggs and $2,632 relating to Zepos issued to KMP's (other than Matt Briggs) and employees. These amounts are accounting accruals required under accounting standards and have not actually been paid during the year, nor do they reflect the benefit (if any) that may ultimately be received.
Options Exercisable at 145% of 5-day VWAP's ("Option")
During the previous financial year the Group agreed to grant 7 Million Option to Tommy McKeith (Non-Executive Chairman) and 1.5 Million options each to Michael Stirzaker and Brett Smith (Non-Executive Directors) as an equity incentive under the Employee Share Option Plan. These Options have been shareholder approved on 2 November 2020. The exercise price of the Options is to be calculated at a premium of 45% to the 5 day VWAP of Prodigy Gold's share price on the date of board approval of the offer. The vesting of the Options is subject to continuing service conditions. Following shareholder approval the options were re-valued with any adjustment accounted for during the current reporting period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Prodigy Gold NL
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Prodigy Gold NL (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 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, a summary of statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

Responsibility of the directors for the 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Group's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
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.
