INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholder and Board of Directors
of Resource Holdings Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Resource Holdings Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management , as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Resource Holdings Ltd. as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
 
 

3.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   

Use of estimates

   
To prepare the financial statements, the Company has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the book value of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and data disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
   

All estimates are subjective in nature and could materially influence the financial statements. Accordingly, management makes these estimates and assessments on an ongoing basis according to past experience and various factors that are deemed reasonable and which constitute the basis for these assessments. The amounts shown in the Company's future financial statements are likely to differ from these estimates in accordance with changes in assumptions or different conditions.

   

Translation of foreign currencies

   

Foreign currency assets and liabilities considered monetary items are translated using exchange rates in effect at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transactions are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction . Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income. Share capital is translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of issue.

   

General administrative expenses

   

Interest income and general and administrative expenses are recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. Interest income is recognized net of withholding taxes.

   

Related party transactions

   

Related parties include the shareholder, directors and key management personnel, including close family members, who have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company.

   

Taxation

   
Under current Bermuda Law, the Company is not required to pay taxes in Bermuda on either income or capital gains. The Company has received an undertaking from the Minister of Finance in Bermuda that in the event of such taxes being imposed, the Company will be exempted from taxation until the year 2035. The Company is subject to withholding tax on investment income from foreign securities.
   

Implementation of new accounting standards and amendments to published accounting standards

   

The amendments to accounting standards within IFRS framework either did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or are not relevant to the Company's operations.

   

All new interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective are not expected to be relevant to the Company's operation.

Financial Risk Management

   

Concentration of credit risk

   

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if their counterparties fail to meet their contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk arises from receivable balances due, as at December 31, 2013 the Company has one outstanding note receivable - refer to Note 6 for further details.

   

As of December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents are held with two reputable international financial institutions.

   

Legal/regulatory risk

   

Legal/regulatory risk is the risk that the legal or regulatory environment in which an insurer operates will change and create additional loss costs or expenses not anticipated by the insurer in pricing its products. That is, regulatory initiatives designed to reduce insurer profits or new legal theories may create costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company mitigates this risk through its underwriting and loss adjusting practices which identify and minimize the adverse impact of this risk.

   
5.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

   
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for these instruments approximate their fair values.
   

Loans and receivables: The fair value of the note receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying value due to their relative short term nature.

   

The estimates of fair values of financial instruments are subjective in nature and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would actually realize in a current market exchange. However, any differences would not be expected to be material.

   
6.

Note receivable

   

In November 2013, the Subsidiary advanced $100,000 to La Plata River Partners, LLC, a company organized in the state of Washington, U.S.A. The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and repayable on or before October 31, 2018.

   
7.

Related Party Balances and Transactions

   

During 2013 the Subsidiary advanced a $100,000 to a company owned by a close family member of one of the directors of the Subsidiary. See Note 6 for details of the terms and amount of the note which is outstanding at December 31, 2013.

   

Included within accounts payable is an amount of $46,300 payable to a company owned by a close family member of one of the directors of the Subsidiary. The amount owed is non-interest bearing, unsecured and repayable on demand.

Statutory Requirements

The Act also requires the Subsidiary to meet certain defined measures of solvency and liquidity. The statutory capital and surplus amounted to US$1,019,003 and US$ Nil as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

(The principal difference between the Company's statutory capital and surplus and shareholder's equity as reported in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles relate to prepaid expenses and deferred acquisition costs).
