PROSPECT RESOURCES LIMITED HALF YEAR REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2015
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The directors of Prospect Resources Limited (“the Company” or “Prospect”) and its controlled entities (the “Group”) submit herewith the financial report of the Group for the half year ended 31 December 2015.

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
As recently announced, during the period, we have completed the rehabilitation and construction of the Prestwood Mine and we are now moving into the production phase.
Operations are running at 3 shifts per day sinking the 4 Level sub-vertical shaft to 5 Level and 6 Level and the development drives are being blasted to the NE and SW from the sub-vertical shaft targeting our first mining blocks. Shaft sinking will continue past 6 Level so that we can create new mining blocks ahead of those being extracted.
During the period, we have completed construction of the Mine including:
-
Surface headframe including being connected to mains power
-
Headframe at 4 Level above the sub-vertical
-
Conveyor belts and loading bins at surface
-
Haul roads
First production ore is now being stockpiled in preparation for first production.
Development has been slower than anticipated due to the greater than expected amount of waste rock in the historic mine and because of a scarcity of working capital.
We also made the strategic decision during the period to focus on the Company’s Gwanda East gold projects because they have the highest likelihood of generating early cashflows. Within the Gwanda East project area, there are a number of historic gold mines including:
-
Prestwood Gold Mine
-
Bucks Reef Gold Mine
-
Numerous parallel reefs between Prestwood and Bucks being exploited by artisanal miners under licence from Prospect;
-
Sally Mine
These 4 mines (gold areas) are our priority for production.
We have downgraded our focus on Bushtick which has meant that we have impaired some of our exploration costs over that project. With limited working capital, these decisions need to be made.
Whilst it has been a tough market for junior mining companies, particularly ones operating in Africa, we have made solid progress in bringing our first gold mine into production.

Harry Greaves and I are appreciative of your patience as shareholders. We are also aware that such patience does not last forever. Our whole team is working as diligently as possible to commence mining and generate independent cashflows.

PROSPECT RESOURCES LIMITED HALF YEAR REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2015
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) 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.
(b) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Prospect Resources Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as the "Consolidated Group" or "Group"). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2015, together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.
These interim financial statements were authorised for issue on 15 March 2016.
(c) Accounting Policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements. The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.
(d) Going concern
The half year financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the period ended 31 December 2015, the Consolidated Entity recorded a loss of $855,964 (2014: loss $1,030,626) and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $482,468. As at reporting date, the Consolidated Entity had cash and cash equivalents of $257,958 . These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Consolidated Entity’s and the Company’s ability to continue as going concerns.
The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the consolidated entity will have sufficient cash flows to continue their planned business activities for the 12 month period from the date of signing the financial report including:
-
Working capital to commence the proposed production rate at the Prestwood Gold Mine; and
-
General working capital requirements.
[10]
PROSPECT RESOURCES LIMITED HALF YEAR REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2015
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Going Concern (continued)
Under the above scenario, the Consolidated Entity’s and the Company’s ability to continue as going concerns is dependent upon:
-
(a) Completion of a capital raising of at least an additional $250,000 in April 2016 from the issue of new ordinary shares;
-
(b) Group commencing gold production at the Prestwood Gold Mine in March 2016, producing 1,850 oz of gold in its first year of production with an average head grade of 6g/t; and
-
(c) Managing and deferring costs where applicable to coincide with the capital raising activity and gold production activity outlined above to ensure all obligations can be met.
The directors are pursuing a number of capital raising and/or financing facility initiatives in order to have sufficient funds to allow for the production at Prestwood, and fund additional expenditure in the Gwanda East project area. The Directors have reviewed the consolidated entity's overall position and outlook in respect of the matters identified above and are of the opinion that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the operational and financial plans in place are achievable.
In the event that the Consolidated Entity is unable to achieve the matters set out above, the Board of Directors are aware of the Consolidated Entity’s need to access additional working capital funds as and when they are required to enable the Consolidated Entity and the Company to meet minimum operating overheads and committed expenditure requirements.
The directors are confident that they will achieve the matters set out above and therefore the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on the going concern basis.
Should the Consolidated Entity and the Company not be successful in achieving the matters set out above, there is material uncertainty whether the Consolidated Entity and the Company will be able to continue as going concerns and therefore, whether they will realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Consolidated Entity and the Company not continue as going concerns.
(e) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Prospect Resources Limited, and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 13.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

The options of the Company are not considered dilutive for the purpose of the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their conversion to ordinary shares would not decrease the net profit per share nor increase the net loss per share. Consequently, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share.
12. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE
Subsequent to balance date, the Company issued 1,875,000 shares at $0.004 to raise $7,500 before costs.
No other events have occurred after balance date that impacts the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PROSPECT RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Prospect Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, 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, condensed notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration for Prospect Resources Limited (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both Prospect Resources Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled during the half year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of Prospect Resources Limited 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 the 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 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 2015 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 Prospect Resources Limited, 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.
Whilst we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our review was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Our review did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by the directors or management.

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 , has been provided to the directors of Prospect Resources Limited on 15 March 2016.
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 Prospect Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Significant Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern
Without qualification to the conclusion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter:
As referred to in Note 1(d) to the financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The consolidated entity comprising the Company and its subsidiaries has incurred a loss of $855,964 for the half year ended 31 December 2015 and had net operating cash outflows $230,376. The consolidated entity’s cash and cash equivalents at the reporting date amounted to $257,958. The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern and meet its planned exploration, administration and other commitments is dependent upon the consolidated entity raising further working capital and/or successfully exploiting its mineral assets.
In the event that the consolidated entity is not successful in raising further equity or successfully exploiting its mineral assets, the consolidated entity may not be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and the realisable value of the consolidated entity’s current and non-current assets may be significantly less than book values.
