NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2014 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by Laconia Resources Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. Going Concern The Company incurred a loss of $925,572 for the six month period ended 31 December 2014 and does not have a strong working capital position.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and future commitments as and when they fall due is dependent on a number of factors, including (but not limited to):

the ability to issue additional capital under the Corporations Act 2001, if required, by share purchase plan, share placement or rights issue;

the option of farming out all or part of the consolidated entity’s exploration projects; and

the ability, if required to dispose of interest in exploration and development assets.

The half year financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position the Directors have had regard to the fact that the Company has, or in the Directors’ opinion, will have access to, sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.

Should the Company not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether it will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the half-year financial report.
