COMMENTARY
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements of Goliath Gold for the six months ended 30
September 2011 ("interim period") have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, IAS 34, the Companies Act of
South Africa, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008) and the JSE Listings Requirements, and
are based on appropriate accounting policies, consistently applied with those
applied in the most recent audited financial statements, which are supported
by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates.
These results have been prepared under the supervision of
Nico Nieuwenhuis (CA)SA, Vice President: Finance.
These results have been reviewed by the Group`s auditors,
PricewaterhouseCoopers Incorporated, whose unqualified review opinion is
available for inspection at the Company`s registered office.
2. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
The Company`s main business is that of a mining exploration company. Its
subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the resource sector. The Company has a
primary listing on the JSE, issuer code: GGM.
3. FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Profit of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2011, was ZAR 2.7
million, compared to a Group net loss for the six months ended 30 September
2010, of ZAR 3.2 million.
The earnings per share and headline earnings per share post consolidation are
6.47 cents, compared to the loss per share pre- consolidation of 0.86 cents
(8.63 cents loss per share post consolidation) and the headline loss per
share pre-consolidation of 0.86 cents (8.57 cents loss per share post
consolidation) for the six months ended 30 September 2010.
4. PROSPECTS AND FUTURE PERFORMANCE
On 12 November 2010, White Water Resources Limited ("WWR") entered into an
acquisition agreement with Gold One International Limited ("Gold One"). The
acquisition agreement stipulates that Goliath Gold will acquire the Megamine
Business, as defined in the Goliath Gold Acquisition Circular dated 25
February 2011, from Gold One Africa Limited ("Gold One Africa"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Gold One.
The acquisition consideration of ZAR 262,229,868 is to be settled by way of
the issue of 1,048,919,472 pre-consolidation WWR shares, valued at ZAR 0.25
each. The acquisition of the Megamine Business by WWR will effectively result
in a reverse takeover of WWR by Gold One Africa, with Gold One Africa
ultimately holding 71% of the share capital in WWR. The transaction also
includes a 10:1 share consolidation, which was completed on 13 May 2011.
The conclusion of the transaction is dependent on the fulfillment of certain
conditions precedent. The outstanding conditions precedent relate mainly to
regulatory approvals that are pending.
Subsequent to shareholders voting overwhelmingly in favour of the transaction
on 22 March 2011, a new management team was also appointed.
Goliath Gold`s new management team is focused on creating value by exploring
and ultimately developing the Company`s extensive future asset base. This has
already begun in earnest with the first few exploration drill holes at
Megamine having already been completed by Gold One. Although the majority of
the current resources have a medium depth profile, a number of shallower
targets also exist which are being explored with a view to providing initial
development opportunities as well as the necessary foundations to access the
deeper resources in future. An economic scoping study has already been
initiated at Megamine.
In late 2010, the Company, then still named WWR, also announced that it had
successfully raised approximately ZAR 13.5 million in new capital via the
placement of shares with institutional shareholders. The capital raised has,
and will be, used for exploration funding and general corporate purposes.
5. COMPETENT PERSON`S STATEMENT
There have not been any significant changes to the information relating to
the Goliath Gold exploration results, mineral resources or ore resources as
disclosed on page 8 of the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2011.
6. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
Management has determined the operating segments of the Group based on the
reports reviewed by the Board that are used to make strategic decisions. The
Board considers the business from a functional perspective and has identified
two reportable segments, namely Exploration and Other operations.
Exploration: Involved in potential mining, prospecting and exploration.
