The changes are detailed in the Corporate Section of this report but in summary:

Directors
Alan Tough - Chairman Jonathan Lea - Non-Executive Ananda Kathiravelu - Non-Executive David Sourbutts - Non-Executive
Issued Capital
165,310,784 Ordinary Shares 5,000,000 Unlisted Options
-
The founding Managing Director, Jonathan Lea resigned his executive role May 31 and was subsequently appointed as non–executive director.
-
The board resolved that all director fees be accrued from June 2015 until such point that resumption of cash payments will have no adverse effect on the going concern basis of operations.
-
In order to minimise cash outflows during the period to 30 June, the Directors had accrued over $127,000 in unpaid entitlements. To reduce future cash outflows, the directors resolved to seek shareholder approval at the next General Meeting of Shareholders to convert $62,000 of those entitlements into Radar equity.
Radar submitted its half yearly accounts to the ASX in August and this action in conjunction with the cost saving measures allowed Radar to be reinstated to official quotation on August 25[th] .
On August 26[th] Radar announced the raising of $495,932 from sophisticated professional investors in a placement involving the issue of 33,062,158 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.01, with one attaching $0.015 unsecured convertible note
for every 3 shares issued. The one year notes attract interest at 1% per month payable in arrears in shares. Details of the raising were provided in Radar’s ASX release “Capital Raising Update”, dated August 26, 2015, available at Radar’s web site www.radariron.com.au. The funds are being used for working capital as Radar seeks other investment opportunities.
Radar announced a General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in late October 2015, largely to ratify recent fund raising initiatives and to refresh Radar’s capacity to issue new equity as needed..
ASX Code
RAD (Fully Paid Ordinary Shares)
The saving measures above indicate that the Radar Board firstly, recognises the necessity to minimise expenditure until the market recovers to a point where equity funding can be raised at an acceptable level and more importantly that the Directors have faith in the potential of Radar going forward. Radar has been, and is, investigating a number of options to reinvigorate the Company by introducing new projects to the company both within and outside of the minerals sector. We thank our shareholders for their patience and assure all stakeholders that the Board will do its utmost to increase the value of the company going forward.

YERECOIN PROJECT
Radar Iron Ltd acquired the Yerecoin Iron Ore Project in April 2014.
The Yerecoin project area is within approximately 150km of Perth and is adjacent to an accessible rail line. Yerecoin has been drilled with sufficient density to enable resource estimation. The Company has reported JORC 2012 Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources of 383Mt – refer ASX releases of 24 April 2014 “ Major Project Acquisition ” and 8 September 2014 “ Yerecoin Resource Upgrade ” as available on the Company’s website www.radariron.com.au .

No field work completed.
Tenements in the Johnston Range project area were surrendered during the Quarter. While the ground is believed to have significant potential, the ongoing costs of holding the ground could not be justified. Four tenements, E77/1280, E77/1281, E77/1807and E77/1961 were surrendered. In addition a single block Exploration License (E77/1926) in the Jackson area was surrendered.
CORPORATE
Radar’s main focus during the quarter was aimed at lifting of the voluntary suspension from trading in the Company’s securities which Radar put in place in late 2014 which was achieved in August 2015.
Options are being reviewed to minimise expenditure on all tenement holdings in the near future, leading to the surrender of the Northam tenements as mentioned above and other strategies such as using retention licenses to keep tenements in good standing while restricting obligatory expenditure.

-
Non-executive directors Messrs Alan Tough and Ananda Kathiravelu agreed to reduce their director’s fees to $3,000per month.
-
The founding Managing Director, Jonathan Lea resigned his executive role May 31 and was subsequently appointed as non–executive director. This change has reduced the remuneration payable by the Company from $250,000 per annum to $36,000 in line with other non executive directors.
-
The board resolved to cease any cash payments to directors and that all director fees be accrued from June 2015 onwards until such point that resumption of cash payments will have no adverse effect on the going concern basis of operations.
-
In order to minimise cash outflows during the period to 30 June, the Directors had accrued over $127,000 in unpaid entitlements. To reduce future cash outflows, the directors have resolved to seek shareholder approval to convert $62,000 of those entitlements into Radar equity at a value of one cent per share.
Fund raising for working capital was completed late in August with $495,932 raised from sophisticated and professional investors in a placement managed by Armada Capital Pty Ltd. A number of new investors were introduced who offered a potential long term commitment to the Company The placement involved the issue of 33,062,158 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.01, with one attaching $0.015 unsecured convertible note for every 3 shares issued. The one year notes attract interest at 1% per month payable in arrears in shares. Subject to shareholder approval they will convert at a price equal to the greater of $0.015 or a 50% discount to the price at which the Company offers investors the opportunity to subscribe for Shares in the first of any subsequent capital raising to follow this Placement.
Radar announced, late in the Quarter, a General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 28[th] , 2015 largely aimed at ratifying and approving the recent fund raising activities and to allow Radar to refresh its capacity to issue new equity, as required.
