PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Introduction to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Legend International Holdings, Inc. (“Legend” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and consolidating entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014, the results of its consolidated operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 and for the cumulative period January 5, 2001 (inception) through March 31, 2014, and the changes in its consolidated cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 and for the cumulative period January 5, 2001 (inception) through March 31, 2014, have been included.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the Australian dollar (“A$”). Amounts have been rounded, except for earnings per share, to the nearest thousand.

UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ALL FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTED IS IN AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS.

LEGEND INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1.  
ORGANISATION AND BUSINESS
 
Legend International Holdings, Inc. ("the Company” or “Legend”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 5, 2001.
 
Following a change of management in November 2004, the Company developed a new plan of operations for fiscal 2006, which is to engage in mineral exploration and development activities. The Company's business plan calls for the identification of mineral properties, where it can obtain secure title to exploration, development and mining interests. The Company’s preference is to identify large minerals deposits with low operating costs. In July 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of certain diamond mining tenements in Northern Australia. In November 2007, the Company acquired mining tenements prospective for phosphate in the State of Queensland, Australia.
 
During the economic downturn of 2008, Legend also decided that part of its strategy should be to invest into undervalued mining projects should opportunities arise. This investment would not detract from Legend’s primary goal of developing the Phosphate Project and had the aim of diversifying interests to dilute the effect of identified potential project risks.  This was seen as necessary by the Company due to the volatile and unpredictable nature of the commodity markets at the time. Some of these investments included taking a major stake in Merlin Diamonds Ltd (“MED”) which controls the Merlin diamond mine and includes MED’s current 31.14% interest in Top End Minerals and an investment in Northern Capital Resources Corporation (“NCRC”). NCRC’s subsidiary Golden River Resources Corporation (“Golden River”) acquired a controlling interest in Acadian Mining Corporation (“Acadian”) which controls gold and zinc assets in Nova Scotia, Canada. During fiscal 2013, Golden River sold its interest in Acadian. During January 2013 Legend announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell approximately 16.9% of its interest in MED and at 31 March, 2013 the Legend no longer held a controlling interest in MED.
 
Legend had been an exploration stage company between August 2006 and February 2011.
 
Effective March 1, 2011, Legend is reporting as a development stage company. During February 2011, the Company announced its maiden mineral reserve for its 100% owned Paradise South phosphate project. In accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7, as a result of establishing mineral reserve estimates, Legend has entered into the development stage for this project as it engages in the process of preparing the mineral deposit for extraction, while it continues with its various other exploration activities. Management considers the phosphate business as its main focus of operations and plans to devote a majority of its resources to this area. As a result of establishing the phosphate mineral reserve estimates, the Company accounts for development expenditure by capitalizing such costs. Exploration costs incurred on the Company’s other activities are written off as incurred to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Legend is focused on the development of mining, beneficiation and processing of its 100% owned phosphate mineral reserves near Mount Isa in northwest Queensland whilst continuing its exploration activities. Legend has a phased implementation plan to become one of the world's leading suppliers of phosphate fertilizer.
 
The Company has historically funded its activities from funds provided by capital raising through the issuance of its shares and from advances from affiliated entities. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's operating requirements and its exploration and development plans. The Company has announced that intends to undertake a rights issue of shares to existing shareholders on the basis of one new shares for each existing share on issue, at a price of US$0.05 per share. The documents have been forwarded to the SEC for comment. Based on this process and the amount of the Company's cash and other current assets as of March 31, 2014, management believes that the Company has sufficient operating liquidity to sustain its activities through 2014. However, as the Company has not yet generated income producing activities, it will continue to seek opportunities to raise additional funds from capital raising efforts through the issuance of its shares, funding from affiliated entities as may be available, debt facilities and other financing arrangements until such time as the Company can commence revenue producing activities.
 
As future development and exploration activities will require additional financing, the Company is pursuing varying strategies to accomplish this including obtaining third parties to take an ownership interest in or to provide financing for the anticipated development activities related to the phosphate project, as well as capital raising through share issuances. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in raising such additional capital, it may not be able to continue active operations.
 
The financial statements presented herein have been prepared on a consolidated basis to include the accounts of Legend, its subsidiaries Paradise Phosphate Limited (“Paradise”), Teutonic Minerals Pty Ltd (inactive) and Alexya Pty Ltd (inactive). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Legend has incurred net losses since its inception. Notwithstanding the losses since inception, the Company has been able to continue to raise capital to fund its operations.
 
 
7
 
 
Other than the arrangements noted above, the Company has not confirmed any other arrangement for ongoing funding.  The Company’s ability to continue operations through fiscal 2014 is dependent upon future funding from capital raisings, or its ability to commence revenue producing operations and positive cash flows.
 
2.  
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”.  ASU No. 2014-08 changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results.  ASU No. 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted.  The Company has decided to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning January 1, 2014.  The adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Other Recently Issued, but not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
3.  
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost. The Company records depreciation and amortization, when appropriate, using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property's useful life are capitalized.  Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriate accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income (loss).

The depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to A$58,000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to A$184,000 and accumulated depreciation on assets written off and/or disposed of for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was A$44,000. Net book value of assets written off and/or disposed of for the three months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to A$3,000.
 
4.  
DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
As a result of establishing the phosphate mineral reserve estimates, the Company accounts for development expenditure on the tenements where reserves have been identified by capitalizing such costs. Upon commencement of commercial production, capitalized costs will be transferred to the appropriate asset category and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized costs, net of salvage values, relating to a deposit which is abandoned or considered uneconomic for the foreseeable future, will be written off.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 A$10,000 (2013: A$40,000) of costs incurred on the Paradise South phosphate project in the process of preparing the mineral deposit for extraction were capitalized and included in development costs.

STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
 
Share Option Plan
 
The Company has a Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Plan”) for executives and eligible employees and contractors. Under this Stock Plan, options to purchase shares of stock can be granted with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest 1/3 after 12 months, 1/3 after 24 months and the balance after 36 months with a 10-year contractual term. The expected life of the options is generally between 5 ½ to 6 ½ years. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Stock Plan). The maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be optioned and sold under the Stock Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding shares (on a fully diluted basis).
 
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Binomial option valuation model. The Binomial option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award and stock price volatility. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock at the time grants are issued and other factors, including the expected life of the options of 5 ½ to 6 ½ years. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behaviour are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behaviour. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
A summary of option activity under the Plan as of March 31, 2014, and changes during the three months then ended is presented below:

     21,087       $1.35  
 
At the time of an issue of options, management assess the forfeiture rate to be used for the issue based on historical experience and management’s view on the likelihood that the individual will continue employment to the end of the vesting period. The forfeiture rates historically have varied between 33.3% and 100%.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, stock-based compensation expense relating to stock options was A$nil. No income tax benefit was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2014 for stock-based compensation arrangements. As at March 31, 2014, there was A$nil of unrecognized compensation cost, before income taxes, related to unvested stock options.

AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
 
Legend advances to and receives advances from various affiliates. All advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on consolidation. The Company has entered into an agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (“AXIS”) to provide geological, management and administration services to the Company. AXIS is affiliated through common management. In addition, each of the companies is substantially dependent upon AXIS for its senior management and certain mining and exploration staff. The Company is one of nine affiliated companies to which AXIS provides services. Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. Legend holds a 9.09% interest at a cost of A$1 in AXIS, which is accounted for under the cost method. The Company has made advances to AXIS in connection with the ongoing business relationship between the two parties, which have been disclosed in the Company’s SEC reports and which bear interest at market rates, but which are not specifically provided for in the AXIS Services Agreement.  In order to service its clients, AXIS is required to make ongoing expenditures for payroll, facilities and equipment that may exceed the amount of its cash receipts during particular periods, depending on the amount of services provided to its clients and the amount of fees received from such clients during these periods.  Historically, the shortfall in its cash receipts has been covered by cash advances from a number of the companies, which receive services from AXIS, including the Company. The purpose of such advances is to assist AXIS in meeting its ongoing cash flow requirements in order to assure that AXIS has the necessary resources to provide services to the Company on an as needed basis.  The Company has not suffered any financial losses to date on account of such advances. On March 25, 2014, the Company and AXIS entered into a loan agreement and grantor security deed (floating charge). Under the loan agreement, interest is charged at the ANZ Banking Group Ltd reference rate and the amount is due to be repaid on March 25, 2015. The grantor security deed (floating charge) provides security to the Company in the form of a floating charge over the assets of AXIS.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, AXIS charged the Company A$536,000 for management and administration services and A$332,000 for exploration and development services. The Company paid A$2,764,000 for 2013 charges and funding advances. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 AXIS repaid A$1,381,000 to the Company and accordingly the Company recorded an adjustment to the provision of A$(1,161,000).

OTHER INVESTMENTS
 
During December 2009, the Company invested A$2,784,000 in exchange for shares in a Fund that purchases shares in companies quoted on international stock exchanges. The fair value of the equity security is not readily determinable from published information. The Company accounts for these investments at cost and reviews the carrying amount for impairment at each balance sheet date. During 2011, the Company redeemed the investment with a cost basis of A$2,065,000 and at December 31, 2011, had received A$1,695,000 of the redeemed investment. At December 31, 2011, the Company assessed the current net asset value of the investment from information provided by the Fund Manager and determined that a provision for impairment was appropriate of A$719,000. At March 31, 2014, management has determined that the provision is still appropriate.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
 
On March 25, 2013, the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (“IFFCO”) and its subsidiary, Kisan International Trading FZE (“Kisan”,) commenced an arbitration proceeding against the Company before the Singapore International Arbitration Centre seeking damages for the Company’s alleged failure to enter into a long term rock off-take agreement (“ROTA”) with IFFCO for phosphate rock in accordance with the terms of the Share Options Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2008, between the Company and IFFCO. Under the Share Options Agreement, the Company and IFFCO had agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate and enter into the ROTA within 24 months following the execution of this Agreement, which time period was subsequently extended to July 14, 2012. On April 25, 2013, the Company submitted a response denying IFFCO’s claims on the basis that the Company had complied with its obligations under the Share Option Agreement. On May 6, 2013, IFFCO and Kisan filed a reply to the defense filed by Legend. The dispute was scheduled for arbitration in November 2013.  In October 2013, IFFCO filed a revised claim and as a result, the Arbitration Commission abandoned the arbitration dates for November 2013 and awarded costs against IFFCO. The Company has filed a response to the new claims from IFFCO. The dispute is going through procedural matters and is listed for arbitration in mid May 2014.The proceeding is at a stage where it is difficult to determine the Company’s exposure, if any. In any event, the Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. No provision for losses has been recorded in connection with this litigation.
 
Exploration
 
The Company has to perform minimum exploration work and expend minimum amounts of money on its tenements in accordance with the terms and conditions under which the tenements were granted. The overall expenditure requirement tends to be limited in the normal course of the Company’s tenement portfolio management through expenditure exemption approvals, and expenditure reductions through relinquishment of parts or the whole of tenements deemed non-prospective. Should the company wish to preserve interests in its current tenements the amount which may be required to be expended is as follows:
 
      $A000s  
         
Not later than one year
     272  
Later than one year but not later than five years
     1,649  
Later than five years but not later than twenty one years

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, receivables, other investments, advances due from affiliates, accounts payable and accrued expenses, bank overdraft and loans. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, bank overdraft and loans approximate their respective fair values due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of advances due from affiliates are not practicable to estimate as no similar market exists for these instruments and as it does not have a specified date of repayment. The carrying amounts of marketable securities comprised of shares are measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted market prices that are available in active markets as of the reporting date.

14.  
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220”). ASC 220 requires a company to report comprehensive profit (loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income profit/(loss) is the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources such as unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
15.  
INCOME TAXES
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes". ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
ASC Topic 740 prescribes how a company should recognise, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Additionally for tax positions to qualify for deferred tax benefit recognition under ASC 740, the position must have at least a “more likely than not” chance of being sustained upon challenge by the respective taxing authorities, and whether or not it meets that criteria is a matter of significant judgement. The Company believes that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that would require the recording or disclosure of a potential tax liability.
 
The Company is subject to taxation in both the USA and Australia.
 
At March 31, 2014, the net deferred tax asset consisted of the following:
 
   
USA
2014
A$000s
    
Australia
2014
A$000s
    
Total
2014
A$000s
  
Deferred tax assets
                  
                         
Net operating loss carry-forward
     4,999       6,724       11,723  
Exploration expenditure
     3,994       -       3,994  
Less valuation allowance
     (8,993 )     (6,724 )     (15,717 )
Net deferred taxes
     -       -       -  
 
Under ASC 740-10 tax benefits and provisions are recognised only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized.
 
At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.
 
In February 2012, as a result of the transfer of the phosphate assets to Paradise, the Company has realized carrying-forward net operating losses and exploration expenditure. In addition the Company made an interim tax payment of A$618,000 resulting from the transaction. As a result of further interpretation of the tax legislation, the interim tax paid has been revised and the Company considers the amount fully refundable.
 
As a result of the ownership change that occurred in November 2004 (see note 1), Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the use of available operating loss carryforwards for losses incurred prior to the ownership change.  Carry-forward net operating losses will be available to offset future taxable income. Total available net operating loss carryforwards in the United States, which are subject to limitations, amount to approximately A$14,283,000 at March 31, 2014 and expire in years 2025 through 2032. Net operating loss carryforwards in Australia do not have a definite expiration date and amounted to A$22,415,000.
 
The Company’s tax years for all years since December 31, 2008 remain open to most taxing authorities.

GENERAL
 
At March 31, 2014, the Company’s holding in Merlin was 0.23%. Following the sale of Merlin shares in, March 2013 the Company lost its control in Merlin.  As a result, Legend de-consolidated the operations of Merlin. Accordingly, the management discussion and analysis relates to the activities of the Company and does not include a discussion of Merlin activities unless otherwise stated.
 
As set out in notes to consolidated financial statements – affiliate transactions, the Company is managed by AXIS. Certain costs and expenses are incurred by the Company and certain costs and expenses are incurred by AXIS on behalf of the Company and billed to the Company by AXIS. The total amount of expenses billed to the Company by AXIS for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was A$345,000 (2013: A$465,000). The discussion in the next paragraphs relates to costs and expenses of the Company, incurred by both the Company; and by AXIS that are billed to the Company.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2013.
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in Australian dollars (A$). A number of the costs, expenses and assets of the Company are incurred/held in US$ and the conversion of these costs to A$ means that the comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2014 to the three months ended March 31, 2013 does not always present a true comparison.
 
As an exploration company until February 2011 and a development stage company since then, we do not have an ongoing source of revenue. Our revenue stream is normally from interest received on cash in bank and adhoc tenement disposals and Australian Taxation Office refunds.
 
Other income increased from A$16,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to A$167,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which primarily represents interest on funds in the bank A$2,000 (2013:16,000); interest income from a related entity of A$157,000 (2013: A$nil) and proceeds from disposal miscellaneous items on the closure of the Mt Isa Office A$8,000 (2013 A$nil).
 
Costs and expenses decreased from A$2,324,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to A$979,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in expenses is a net result of:
 
a)
a decrease in legal, accounting and professional expense from A$67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to A$32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, accounting and audit fees were A$20,000 (2013: A$24,000) for professional services in relation to financial statements, the quarterly Form 10-Qs, Form 10-K, and annual reporting in Australia, taxation fees of A$5,000 (2013: A$30,000) related to the Company and we incurred legal expenses of A$7,000 (2013: A$13,000) for general legal work.
 
b)
a decrease in exploration expenditure written off from A$628,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to A$411,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The exploration costs include drilling/geological/geophysical/mineral analysis contractors, contract field staff costs, travel costs, accommodation and tenement costs on properties where we have not estimated mineral reserves.  On our phosphate activities, costs which were capitalized and included in development costs decreased from A$40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to A$10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to lesser activity on the feasibility test work. The Company’s main focus for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 has been tenement maintenance and rehabilitation.

d)
a decrease in interest expense from A$352,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to A$36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to repayment in May 2013 of convertible notes and an advance from affiliate incurring interest and borrowings under a loan facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company incurred interest on short term loans and borrowings.
 
e)
a decrease in financing costs from A$139,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to A$nil for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to repayment in May 2013 of convertible notes.
 
f)

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was A$695,000 (2013: A$4,100,000) primarily consisting of the net loss of A$206,000 (2013: net income of A$2,835,000), adjusted for non-cash items being depreciation and amortization of A$58,000 (2013: A$184,000), write-down of assets of A$nil (2013: A$945,000); decrease in allowance for doubtful receivable of A$583,000 (2013: increase A$1,161,000); increase in accounts receivable of A$38,000 (2013: decrease A$99,000); decrease in prepayments and deposits of A$201,000 (2013: increase A$3,000); decrease in inventories of A$nil (2013: A$71,000) and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of A$55,000 (2013: decrease A$575,000).
 
Net cash provided by investing activities was A$84,000 (2013: A$12,717,000) which consisted of, proceeds from sale of plant and equipment A$94,000 (2013: A$17,000); additions to mine development of A$10,000 (2013: A$40,000) and the three months ending March 31,2013 included proceeds from the sale of a subsidiary of A$12,740,000..
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was A$611,000 (2013: A$925,000) being repayments under finance leases of A$33,000 (2013: A$54,000), advances by affiliates of A$742,000 (2013: advances to affiliates of A$1,130,000), and repayment of bank overdraft of A$98,000 (2013: A$nil) and the three months ending March 31, 2013 included repayment long term debt of A$76,000 and proceeds from the private placement of 45,000,000 shares for net proceeds of A$2,185,000.
 
As at March 31, 2014, the Company had A$2,000 in cash.
 
We plan to continue our exploration and development program throughout 2014 and the Company has an obligation to incur expenditure on phosphate projects of A$350,000, and other commodity projects of A$100,000. Our budget for general administration costs for 2014 is A$1,915,000. At March 31, 2014, the Company had a receivable from AXIS amounting to A$6,381,000 which has been fully provided for. Legend is substantially dependent upon AXIS for our senior management, financial and accounting, corporate legal, geological and other corporate headquarters functions. For example, each of our officers is employed by AXIS. AXIS provides us with office facilities, administrative personnel and services, management and geological staff and services. Legend has continued to provide funds in advance of services to be rendered by AXIS as Legend has no capabilities to undertake the services in its own right nor has it the infrastructure itself.
 
The Company has historically funded its activities from funds provided by capital raising through the issuance of its shares and from advances from affiliated entities. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's operating requirements and its exploration and pre-development plans. The Company has announced that intends to undertake a rights issue of shares to existing shareholders on the basis of one new share for each existing share on issue, at a price of US$0.05 per share. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the rights offering with the SEC on August 30, 2013, which is currently under review. Based on this process and the amount of the Company's cash and other current assets as of March 31, 2014, management believes if it can obtain the capital raising as discussed above, that the Company will have sufficient operating liquidity to sustain its activities through 2014. However, as the Company has not yet generated income producing activities, it will continue to seek opportunities to raise additional funds from capital raising efforts through the issuance of its shares, funding from affiliated entities as may be available and other financing arrangements until which time as the Company can commence revenue producing activities.
 
Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements
 
This report and other reports, as well as other written and oral statements made or released by us, may contain forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that describe, or that are based on, our current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs. Forward looking statements are based on assumptions made by us, and on information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements describe our expectations today of what we believe is most likely to occur or may be reasonably achievable in the future, but such statements do not predict or assure any future occurrence and may turn out to be wrong. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "estimate," "project", "predict", "hope", "should", "may", and "will", other words and expressions that have similar meanings, and variations of such words and expressions, among others, usually are intended to help identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to both known and unknown risks and uncertainties and can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make.  Risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those currently anticipated.  Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed.  The potential risks and uncertainties that could affect forward looking statements include, but are not limited to:
 
●
The risk factors set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013,
 
●
The possibility that the phosphates we find are not commercially economical to mine,
 
●
The possibility that we do not find diamonds or other minerals or that the diamonds or other minerals we find are not commercially economical to mine,
 
●
The risks and hazards inherent in the mineral exploration and development business (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions),
 
●
Changes in the market price of phosphate, base metals and diamonds,
 
●
The uncertainties inherent in our exploratory activities, including risks relating to permitting regulatory delays,
 
●
The effects of environmental and other governmental regulations,
 
●
Uncertainty as to whether financing will be available to enable further exploration and development,
 
●
Estimates of proven and probable reserves are subject to considerable uncertainty,
 
●
Movements in foreign exchange rates,
 
●
Increased competition, governmental regulation,
 
●
Performance of information systems,
 
●
Ability of the Company to hire, train and retain qualified employees,
 
●
The availability of sufficient, transportation, power and water resources, and
 
●
Our ability to enter into key exploration and supply agreements and the performance of contract counterparties.
 
In addition, other risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors that could affect the Company's results and prospects are described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein and therein and may further be described in the Company's prior and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other written and oral statements made or released by the Company.
 
We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document.  The information contained in this report is current only as of its date, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
 
 
The Company reports in A$ and holds cash denominated in US dollars. At March 31, 2014, this amounted to US$2,000 (A$2,000). A change in the exchange rate between the A$ and the US$ will have an effect on the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and create a foreign exchange gain or loss. A movement of 1% in the A$ versus the US$ exchange rate will have no effect on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of comprehensive loss.
 
 
(a)  
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure control and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at the reasonable level of assurance.
 
(b)  
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
17
 
 
(c)  
Other
 
We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.  Therefore, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving our desired control objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, as of March 31, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
On March 25, 2013, the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (“IFFCO”) and its subsidiary, Kisan International Trading FZE (“Kisan”,) commenced an arbitration proceeding against the Company before the Singapore International Arbitration Centre seeking damages for the Company’s alleged failure to enter into a long term rock off-take agreement (“ROTA”) with IFFCO for phosphate rock in accordance with the terms of the Share Options Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2008, between the Company and IFFCO. Under the Share Options Agreement, the Company and IFFCO had agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate and enter into the ROTA within 24 months following the execution of this Agreement, which time period was subsequently extended to July 14, 2012. On April 25, 2013, the Company submitted a response denying IFFCO’s claims on the basis that the Company had complied with its obligations under the Share Option Agreement. On May 6, 2013, IFFCO and Kisan filed a reply to the defense filed by Legend. The dispute was scheduled for arbitration in November 2013.  In October 2013, IFFCO filed a revised claim and as a result, the Arbitration Commission abandoned the arbitration dates for November 2013 and awarded costs against IFFCO. The Company has filed a response to the new claims from IFFCO. The dispute is going through procedural matters and is listed for arbitration in mid May 2014.The proceeding is at a stage where it is difficult to determine the Company’s exposure, if any. In any event, the Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. No provision for losses has been recorded in connection with this litigation.
 
 
An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk.
