DIRECTORS’ REPORT

FOR HALF YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2014

Your directors have pleasure in presenting the interim financial report for the half year ended 30 September 2014.

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.

Simon T. O’Loughlin (Non-Executive Chairman) – appointed 24 September 2014

Stephen J. McPhail (Managing Director) Christopher D. Castle (Non-Executive Director) Simon J. R. Taylor (Non-Executive Director) – appointed 24 September 2014 Fu La (Executive Director) – resigned 7 October 2014

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The net loss of the Group for the half year ended 30 September 2014 amounted $767,418 (half year ended 30 September 2013: $220,663)

Subsequent to the end of the half year, the company was successful in raising $919,188 in funds through a fully underwritten renounceable rights issue.

This places the company in a strong position as it looks at potential acquisition opportunities.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2014

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 1 December 2014.

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 can not 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 2014.

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.

Basis of preparation

In March 2014, the Directors assessed the Group’s business and estimated that it would be difficult to obtain additional capital in the current market conditions to fund further exploration and /or development expenditure. As noted in note 6, the Company has ceased exploration activities and from March 2014 the Group has sought to sell the core assets and raise further share capital as the Group and the Company were no longer deemed to be a going concern. Accordingly, the 31 March 2014 financial statements were prepared on a realisation basis.

As stated in note 15, the Company has offered a fully underwritten renounceable share offer on 20[th] October 2014. When all funds have been received, Directors will assess the future direction of the Company. Once this is completed and that direction implemented, Directors expect the Company to be in a position where the Group and the Company can deemed to be a going concern. In the meantime, the condensed 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 2013, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS.

Page 7

KING SOLOMON MINES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2014

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In preparing the financial statements on a realisation basis, the Group has made estimates of the net realisable value of its assets.

In particular the property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets are determined based on an estimation of fair value less costs to sell.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including estimations of market transactions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results.

4 . SEGMENT INFORMATION

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Company’s Board which is responsible for making strategic decisions.

As at 30 September 2014, the Group is organised into one business segment; the activity of exploring and developing gold, copper and other metallic deposits. As there is only one segment as at 30 September 2014 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 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. The Group has sold the Naogaoshandu and Marmot tenements effective October 2014 and the Group is considering 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:

8. RECEIVABLE FROM PROPERTY SOLD

Plate sold its office in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia in December 2013 for RMB 1,600,000. It has received progress payments from the purchaser of RMB 490,000. The property market in Hohhot is currently weak. It is possible the purchaser of the office building may not make the final payment due under the sale agreement by the due date in June 2015. In this case, Plate might seek to sell the office to another party to recoup what is owed.

No provision has been made against this receivable as there is no indication that it may not be recovered.

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 2014 (the “Group”) on pages 3 to 15, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 September 2014, 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 Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’) and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410). NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the NZ IAS 34. As the auditors of the Company, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.

A review of financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.

Other than in our capacities as assurance practitioner conducting this review and as auditors of the annual financial statements we have no relationship with, or interests in, King Solomon Mines Limited.

Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion

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 2014 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 the estimates of the carrying values of exploration and evaluation assets held at 30 September 2014 which are stated in the balance sheet at $448,359. 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 and the elements making up the statements of comprehensive income and statements of changes in equity.

Disclaimer of Conclusion

Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, we have not been able to express a conclusion on the accompanying interim condensed financial information. Accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on the financial statements on pages 3 to 15.

Restriction on Distribution or Use

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters which we are required to state to them in an accountants’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.
