DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR HALF YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013
Your directors have pleasure in presenting the interim financial report for the half year ended 30 September 2013.
DIRECTORS
The names of directors who held office during or since the end of the half year and until the date of this report are as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.
Christopher D. Castle (Non-Executive Chairman)
Stephen J. McPhail (Managing Director) Fu La (Executive Director)
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The net loss of the Group for the half year ended 30 September 2013 amounted $206,658 (half year ended 30 September 2012: $6,020,164)
EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Over the 6 months the Company has focused on the sale of Sonid North, its principal project in Inner Mongolia. The continuing difficult state of the commodities market has made it difficult to achieve an early sale.
The Company continues to review a number of minerals opportunities as potential acquisitions.
The Board believes the Company will be successful in moving its focus to a new minerals opportunity.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
These financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars being the Group’s presentation currency unless otherwise noted.
King Solomon Mines Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiary (together ‘the Group’) were incorporated for the purpose of exploring and developing gold, copper and other metallic deposits in China and are profit oriented entities.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated on 28 January 2003 and domiciled in New Zealand. The address of its registered office is 242 Marine Parade, Otaki Beach, Otaki, 5512.
These condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 6 December 2013.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The half yearly financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing activities of the Group as the full financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of King Solomon Mines Limited for the year ended 31 March 2013.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as described below.
- NZ IAS 1 Amendment – Presentation of Items in Other Comprehensive Income. An amendment to NZ IAS 1 required that items of other comprehensive income that would be reclassified to profit and loss in future if certain conditions were met be presented separately from those that would never be reclassified to profit and loss. This resulted in a change in the presentation of the Group’s statement of other comprehensive income.
Basis of preparation
The Directors had assessed the Group’s business and estimated that it would be difficult to obtain additional capital to fund further exploration and /or development expenditure last year. Accordingly, the Group had no realistic alternative but to sell core assets. The situation has not changed in the current six month period. Management continues to seek the sale of the Sonid North gold project and other assets. The Group plans to use the current funds and the funds from the sale of assets to secure new exploration projects and consider other options. Consequently, the Group is not deemed to be a going concern and the financial statements continue to be prepared on a realisation basis.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 which deal with Interim Financial Reporting, and follow Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1993 and the Financial Reporting Act 1993, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing the financial statements on a realisation basis, the Group and Company have made estimates of the net realisable value of their assets.
In particular, the net realisable value of property, plant and equipment was determined by reference to relevant market prices less estimated selling costs (if any). Exploration and evaluation assets and property held for resale were determined based on the Directors’ best estimates of realisable value (see note 6).
4 . SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by The King Solomon Mines Limited Board which is responsible for making strategic decisions.
As at 30 September 2013, the Group is organised into one main business segment; the activity of exploring and developing gold, copper and other metallic deposits. As there is only one main segment as at 30 September 2013 the disclosures on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Financial Position represent the Group’s one business segment.
Geographical Information:
The Group operates its business of exploration in China with the bulk of the administrative functions being performed in New Zealand and Australia.
This is demonstrated by the geographical breakdown of material assets shown in total on the Statement of Financial Position:

6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION INCOME AND EXPENDITURE
The results of drilling at all tenements have not been as encouraging as hoped. All current drilling programmes have ceased since 31 March 2013 and the Group intends to sell the Sonid North gold project in its current state and consider options for the other tenements. The Directors have impaired the carrying value of the tenements based on the Directors’ best estimate of the likely sales price of each tenement. There is no active market in China for these tenements.
The capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward has been determined as follows:
| Exploration phase: Opening Balance Foreign Exchange on Opening Balance Expenditure incurred during the Period Expenditure written off during the Period (Refer note 3) Closing Balance |
30 September 2013 Unaudited 6 Months $ 995,332 141,399 - (79,833) 1,056,898 |

Independent Review Report to the shareholders of King Solomon Mines Limited
Report on the Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the interim condensed financial statements (“financial statements”) of King Solomon Mines Limited (the “Company”) and the entity it controlled at 30 September 2013 (the “Group”) on pages 3 to 15, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 September 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six months period then ended, and the notes to the financial statements that include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Statements
The Company’s Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that present fairly the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2013, and its financial performance and cash flows for the period ended on that date.
Our Responsibility
We are responsible for reviewing the financial statements presented by the Directors in order to report to you whether, in our opinion and on the basis of the procedures performed by us, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the financial statements do not present fairly the matters to which they relate.
A review is limited primarily to enquiries of company personnel and analytical review procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit on the financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We have reviewed the financial statements of the Group for the period ended 30 September 2013 in accordance with the Review Engagement Standards issued in New Zealand.
Other than in our capacity as assurance practitioners conducting this review, and auditors of the annual financial statements, we have no relationship with, or interests in, King Solomon Mines Limited.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
As disclosed in the statement of accounting policies in note 2 and critical accounting estimates and judgements in note 3 to the financial statements, the financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2013 have been prepared on a realisation basis and include a number of material amounts based on Directors estimates of net realisable value. We were unable to undertake sufficient review procedures on these estimates of the carrying values of exploration and evaluation assets and property for resale held at 30 September 2013 which are stated in the balance sheet at $1,056,898 and $262,045 respectively. As a result of these matters, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been found necessary in respect of exploration and evaluation assets, property for resale and the elements making up the statements of comprehensive income and statements of changes in equity.
