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.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Group's principal activities were the exploration for mineral resources.

Appointment of Administrators

The Company was suspended from trading on the ASX on 21 February 2011 at its request. This was to allow the Company to conclude on a possible acquisition that did not eventuate. The suspension then continued as the Company did not lodge its interim financial report within the specified deadlines. On 1 July 2011, Bradley Tonks and John Vouris of Lawler Partners were appointed as Administrators ("the Administrators") of the Company and assumed control of the Company and its business, property and affairs.

Because of these events, assets have been written down to their realisable values in the condensed statement of financial position and liabilities have been recorded at the amounts for which proofs of debt have been received by the Administrators.

Furthermore, as a condition of the DOCA, the shares in the Company's subsidiaries were transferred into the Creditors Trust at the point of effectuating the DOCA.

Australia

Northampton, Western Australia (including Mary Springs)

As at the date of signing this half-year financial report, the Company has 100% of one exploration licence ("the Mary Springs project"), an 80% interest in a further 3 exploration licences and 5 Mining Access Agreements to 6 Queen Victoria Crown Grants as well as two mining applications pending.

The Company's lead prospect is the historical Mary Springs project. As announced to the market on 25 October 2010, the Mary Springs project hosts a JORC compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 394,419 tonnes @ 6.5% Pb for approximately 25,637 tonnes of contained lead metal. The resource is open in all directions...

Zambia

Allegra Mining Zambia Limited

In a prior period, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Allegra Mining Zambia Limited, to enter into joint venture agreements in Zambia.

Indonesia

PT Ethan Mining Celebes

In a prior period, the Company established a wholly owned Indonesian subsidiary, PT Ethan Mining Celebes, to identify and source advanced mining opportunities in Indonesia.

INCOMPLETE RECORDS

The management and affairs of the Company were not under the control of the Directors of the Company since it entered voluntary administration on 1 July 2011 until the date that the Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCA") was effectuated, being 28 March 2012.

The financial report was prepared by the Company's current Directors who were not in office at the time the Company entered voluntary administration or for the periods presented in this report. The Directors who prepared this financial report were appointed on 3 January 2012.

To prepare the financial report, the Directors have reconstructed the financial records of the Company using:

  • data extracted from the Company's accounting system for the period 1 July 2010 to the date the Company entered administration; and
  • the record of receipts and payments made available by the Administrators for the period from their appointment on 1 July 2011.

It has not been possible for the Directors to obtain all the books and records:

  • of the Company for the period prior to the appointment of the Administrators;
  • of the Company maintained by the Administrators since their appointment on 1 July $2011$ ; and
  • of the subsidiaries of the Company.

Consequently, although the Directors have prepared this financial report to the best of their knowledge based on the information made available to them, they are of the opinion that it is not possible to state that this financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001, nor is it possible to state that this financial report gives a true and fair view of the company's financial position.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company incurred an after tax operating loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 of \$171,415 (2010: Loss \$5,740,977).

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 134 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

$(a)$ Basis of Preparation

Basis of preparation

Incomplete records

The management and affairs of the Company were not under the control of the Directors of the Company since it entered voluntary administration on 1 July 2011 until the date that the Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCA") was effectuated, being 28 March 2012.

The financial report was prepared by the Company's current Directors who were not in office at the time the Company entered voluntary administration or for the periods presented in this report. The Directors who prepared this financial report were appointed on 3 January 2012.

To prepare the financial report, the Directors have reconstructed the financial records of the Company using:

  • data extracted from the Company's accounting system for the period 1 July 2010 to the date the Company entered administration; and
  • the record of receipts and payments made available by the Administrators for the period $\bullet$ from their appointment on 1 July 2011.

It has not been possible for the Directors to obtain all the books and records:

  • of the Company for the period prior to the appointment of the Administrators;
  • of the Company maintained by the Administrators since their appointment on 1 July $2011$ ; and
  • of the subsidiaries of the Company. $\bullet$

Consequently, although the Directors have prepared this financial report to the best of their knowledge based on the information made available to them, they are of the opinion that it is not possible to state that this financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001, nor is it possible to state that this financial report gives a true and fair view of the company's financial position.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company's 2011 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

There are no new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to the Company's operations and effective for the current reporting period.

Changes in accounting policy

No changes in accounting policy have been adopted.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments.

$\mathbf 1$ . SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

$(b)$ Going concern

The consolidated entity incurred a net loss of \$171,415 (2010; Loss \$5,740,977) and experienced total cash outflows from operating activities of \$14,829 (2010: outflows of \$4,380,961) for the period ended 31 December 2011 and, as at that date, had net current deficiency of \$1,227,881 (30 June 2011: deficiency of \$1,056,466).

The Directors noted the following events took place:

  • On 21 February 2011, the Company was suspended from trading on the ASX at its $\bullet$ request. On 1 July 2011, Bradley Tonks and John Vouris of Lawler Partners were appointed Administrators of the Company and assumed control of the Company and its business, property and affairs.
  • A syndicate headed by Pager Partners (the Syndicate), were successful in winning a bid to recapitalise the Company, which was accepted at a meeting of the Company's creditors on 4 November 2011. The Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) was signed on 25 November 2011.
  • Under the Proposal, it was agreed that \$950,000 would be paid to the Deed Administrators for distribution under the DoCA via the Creditors' Trust. These funds were loaned to the Company by the Syndicate and the DoCA was fully effectuated on the 28 March 2012 and has therefore been terminated. A Creditors' Trust Deed has been established pursuant to the DoCA to pay the Deed Administrator's fees and costs, the Administrator's fees and costs and the Trustees' fees and costs, with the balance to be distributed to creditors as full and final payment of the Company's outstanding debts. All trade and other payables at 31 December 2011 have been transferred to the Creditors' Trust.
  • On the 14 May 2012, the Company issued 100,000,000 ordinary shares and $\bullet$ 60,000,000 options exercisable at \$0.01, raising \$251,500 before costs. On the 24 May 2012, the Company issued 190,000,000 ordinary shares raising \$1,900,000 before costs. The Company used part of these funds to repay the \$950,000 loan from the Syndicate, by either offsetting against securities applied for on 14 May 2012 and 24 May 2012, or via a cash payment on 5 June 2012.

The cash flow forecast indicates that based on the completion of the DoCA and the equity raising described above, the consolidated entity will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the half-year financial report. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.

The half-year financial report has therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operations consist of mineral exploration in Australia, Zambia and Indonesia.

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires a management approach under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes.

As at 31 December 2011, the Company had not progressed any of its interests beyond exploration, and therefore it was appropriate that the Company report by geographic segment in line with its internal reporting.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Exploration Commitments

In order to maintain an interest in the mining and exploration tenements in which the Company is involved, the Company is committed to meet the conditions under which the tenements were granted and the obligations of any joint venture agreements. The timing and amount of exploration expenditure commitments and obligations of the Company are subject to the minimum expenditure commitments required as per the Mining Act, as amended, and may vary significantly from the forecast based upon the results of the work performed which will determine the prospectivity of the relevant area of interest.

Outstanding exploration commitments are as follows (no estimate has been given of expenditure commitments beyond 12 months as this is dependent on the directors' ongoing assessment of operations and, in certain circumstances, Native Title negotiations):

10. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE

The Company was suspended from trading on the ASX on 21 February 2011 at its request. On 1 July 2011, Bradley Tonks and John Vouris of Lawler Partners were appointed Administrators of the Company and assumed control of the Company and its business, property and affairs.

The Administrators subsequently advertised, sought and negotiated proposals to reconstruct the Company with interested parties. A syndicate headed by Pager Partners (the Syndicate) put forward a recapitalisation proposal which was accepted at a meeting of the Company's creditors on 4 November 2011. The DoCA was signed on 25 November 2011.

Under the Proposal, it was agreed that \$950,000 would be paid to the Deed Administrator for distribution under the DoCA via the Creditors' Trust. These funds were loaned to the Company by the Syndicate and the DoCA was fully effectuated on the 28 March 2012 and has therefore been terminated. A Creditors' Trust Deed has been established pursuant to the DoCA to pay the Deed Administrator's fees and costs, the Administrator's fees and costs and the Trustees' fees and costs, with the balance to be distributed to creditors as full and final payment of the Company's outstanding debts.

On 14 May 2012, the Company issued 100,000,000 ordinary shares and 60,000,000 options exercisable at \$0.01, raising \$251,500 before costs. On 24 May 2012, the Company issued 190,000,000 ordinary shares raising \$1,900,000 before costs. The Company used part of these funds to repay the \$950,000 loan from the Syndicate, by either offsetting against securities applied for on 14 May 2012 and 24 May 2012, or via a cash payment on 5 June 2012.

The Directors are currently working towards the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company and liaising with the ASX in relation to the reinstatement of Prospect Resources Limited's (formerly Ethan Minerals Limited) securities for trading on the ASX.

On the 7 March 2012, the Company received a letter from the Department of Mines and Petroleum regarding the non compliance with the expenditure condition for tenements E66/53. E66/64 and E66/73. They advised that the department would impose penalties/fines totaling \$13,351 as an alternative to the forfeiture of the above licenses. The Company has paid this amount.

DIRECTORS' DECLARATION

  • 1) In the opinion of the Directors of Prospect Resources Limited (formerly Ethan Minerals Limited) ("the Company"),
  • a) as set out in note 1 and other parts of this report, although the Directors have prepared the financial statements and notes thereto to the best of their knowledge based on the information made available to them, they are of the opinion that it is not possible to state that the financial statements and notes thereto, are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
    • i) giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
    • ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
  • 2) As set out in note 1(b), there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

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 conducting 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 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 Prospect Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion

As stated in Note 1(a) to the half-year financial report, Prospect Resources Limited went into voluntary administration on 1 July 2011. The directors state that they have not been able to obtain all the books and records of the consolidated entity for the period prior to their appointment and have prepared the half-year financial report based on the information made available to them at the time of preparation of the financial report. As the remaining accounting and statutory records are not adequate to permit the application of necessary review procedures, we are unable to obtain all the information and explanations we require in order to form a conclusion on the half-year financial report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Disclaimer of Auditor's Conclusion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for a review conclusion. Accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on the half-year financial report.
