Operating results and financial position

The net result of operations for the financial year was a loss of $4,057,012 (2015: $29, 190,281).

The PIOP carrying value as at 30 June 2015 was $45,000,000. The carrying value was based on an independent expert report commissioned to report on whether the option agreement signed in May 2015 between Flinders Mines Limited and the Todd Corporation was fair and reasonable. The independent experts report had valued the PIOP project to be between $40-$50million and, allowed shareholders to make an informed decision relating to the option agreement. At a general meeting of the company held on 24 September 2015 shareholders decided to reject the offer by voting against it. A further impairment of $23,484,221 was made at 31/12/2015 "using a market value approach". By this time the share price had dropped to 1.3 cents per share as there was now no offer for the shares and the Alliance agreement had terminated. As a result the PIOP project carrying value as at 31 December 2015 was $22,345,329, impaired down from $45,000,000. On 17 March 2016, TIO (NZ) Limited (TIO), a wholly owned subsidiary of Todd Corporation provided an unconditional all-cash off-market takeover bid to acquire all Flinders Mines Limited shares, at an Offer Price of $0.013 per Share. On 9 May 2016 TIO increased the cash consideration to $0.025 per Share. Taking into account the increased market value of the company due to the TIO takeover, using a market value approach the impairment incurred as at 31 December 2015 was reversed and all expenditure for the year capitalised. The carrying value of PIOP as at 30 June 2016 is

$46,517,562.

The net assets of the Group have decreased by $2,784,759 during the financial year from $50, 121,444 at 30 June 2015 to $47,336,685 at 30 June 2016.
