Anglesey Mining PLC Annual Financial Report -4-

UK Regulatory
this general authority, other than in connection with the issue of shares
pursuant to the company's employee share and incentive plans.
The second part of the authority relates to the option agreement to acquire,
indirectly, 51% of the enlarged share capital of Grangesberg Iron AB which was
entered into in May 2014 and described in the strategic report on page 4. This
amount would cover the potential issue of shares in the event that the company
were to exercise its option and is in respect of shares with a nominal value
of GBP300,000 (30,000,000 ordinary shares). The authority sought under
resolution 13 will expire on 31 December 2015. The directors intend to seek
renewal of this authority at future annual general meetings.
The purpose of resolution 14 is to authorise the directors to allot new shares
pursuant to the general authority given by resolution 13 in connection with a
pre-emptive offer or offers to holders of other equity securities if required
by the rights of those securities or as the board otherwise considers
necessary, or otherwise up to an aggregate nominal amount of GBP401,500
(40,150,000 ordinary shares). This aggregate nominal amount represents
approximately 25% of the issued ordinary share capital of the company at 30
July 2014. Whilst such authority is in excess of the 5% of existing issued
ordinary share capital which is commonly accepted and recommended for larger
listed companies, it will provide additional flexibility which the directors
believe is in the best interests of the group in its present circumstances.
The authority sought under resolution 14 will expire on 31 December 2015. The
directors intend to seek renewal of this authority at future annual general
meetings.
Rights and obligations attaching to shares
The rights and obligations attaching to the ordinary and deferred shares are
set out in the Articles of Association. Details of the issued share capital
are shown in note 21. Details of employee share schemes are set out in the
Directors Remuneration Report and in note 22.
Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at general meetings of the
company. Holders of deferred shares, which are of negligible value, are not
entitled to attend, speak or vote at any general meeting of the company, nor
are they entitled to receive notice of general meetings.
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, the rights attached to
any class may be varied with the consent of the holders of three-quarters in
nominal value of the issued shares of the class or with the sanction of an
extraordinary resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders
of the shares of the class.
There are no restrictions on the transfer of the company's shares.
Voting rights
Votes may be exercised at general meetings in relation to the business being
transacted either in person, by proxy or, in relation to corporate members, by
corporate representative. The Articles provide that forms of proxy shall be
submitted not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a
working day) before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned
meeting.
No member shall be entitled to vote at a general meeting or at a separate
meeting of the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the company,
either in person or by proxy, in respect of any share held by him unless all
monies presently payable by him in respect of that share have been paid.
Furthermore, no shareholder shall be entitled to attend or vote either
personally or by proxy at a general meeting or at a separate meeting of the
holders of that class of shares or on a poll if he has been served with a
notice after failing to provide the company with information concerning
interests in his shares required to be provided under the Companies Act 2006.
Significant agreements and change of control
There are no agreements between the company and its directors or employees
that provide for compensation for loss of office or employment that may occur
because of a takeover bid. The company's share plans contain provisions
relating to a change of control. Outstanding awards and options would normally
vest and become exercisable on a change of control, subject to the
satisfaction of any performance conditions.
Dividend
The group has no revenues and the directors are unable to recommend a dividend
(2013 - nil).
Going concern
The directors have considered the business activities of the group as well as
its principal risks and uncertainties as set out in this report. When doing so
they have carefully applied the guidance given in the Financial Reporting
Council's document "Going concern and liquidity risk: Guidance for directors
of UK companies 2009". Based on the group's cash flow forecasts and
projections to December 2015, and after making due enquiry in the light of
current and anticipated economic conditions, the directors consider that with
ongoing support from its largest shareholder, Juno Limited, they have a
reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly the going
concern basis continues to be adopted in the preparation of the financial
statements. In the absence of support from Juno Limited the group could be
dependent on the proceeds of share issues or other sources of funding.
Development at the Parys project will be dependent on raising further funds
from various sources.
Greenhouse Gas emissions
The group does not itself undertake any activities or processes which lead to
the production of greenhouse gases. The extent to which its administrative and
management functions result in greenhouse gas emissions is slight and the
directors do not believe that any useful purpose would be served by attempting
to quantify the amounts of these emissions.
Post balance sheet events
See note 30.
Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the
financial statements. The directors are required to prepare the financial
statements for the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS") and have also elected to
prepare financial statements for the company in accordance with IFRS. Company
law requires the directors to prepare group and parent company financial
statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required to the
prepare the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, the Companies Act
2006 and, in relation to the group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS
Regulation.
Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements
unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the group and parent company financial statements and of their
profit and loss for that period.
In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state that the financial statements comply with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the group and the parent company will continue
in business.
The directors confirm that they consider the annual report and accounts, taken
as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information
necessary for shareholders to assess the company and group's performance,
business model and strategy.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are
sufficient to show and explain the parent company's transactions and disclose
with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent
company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the parent company and the group and hence for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations the, the directors are also responsible
for preparing a Strategic Report, Directors' Report, Remuneration Report and
Corporate Governance Statement that comply with that law and those
regulations.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the group
website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and
dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other
jurisdictions.
Each of the directors, whose names and functions are listed on the inside rear
cover, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:
the group financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
IFRSs as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair view of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and loss of the group; and
the Strategic and Directors' Reports include a fair review of the development
and performance of the business and the position of the group, together with a
description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces.
Auditor
Each of the directors in office at the date of approval of the annual report
confirms that so far as they are aware there is no relevant audit information
of which the company's auditor is unaware and that each director has taken all
of the steps which they ought to have taken as a director in order to make
themselves aware of that information and to establish that the company's
auditor is aware of that information. This confirmation is given and should be
interpreted in accordance with the provisions of s418 of the Companies Act
2006.
A resolution to reappoint Mazars LLP as auditor and to authorise the directors
to fix their remuneration will be proposed at the annual general meeting.
