3 month period ended 30 September 2012 For the three month period ended 30 September 2012 the Company recorded a net loss of US$715,548 (0.78 US cents per share) compared to a net loss of US$1,739,684 (2.72 US cents per share) for the comparative period last year. The decrease in the loss for the period reflects lower depreciation charges of US$223,150 for the quarter compared with US$580,845 for the quarter ended 30 September 2011. This lower level of depreciation arises as assets, particularly those in Brazil, have been subject to depreciation on a straight line basis, and whilst not necessarily in use recently and whilst still being available for use, are reaching the point where the original purchase price of these items has now been fully depreciated.
The company has been incurring expenditures on the maintenance of the current process plant. Up until the issue of the PEA on 28 June 2012, which demonstrated the economic viability of the Palito project, the Company was deemed to be in an evaluation phase and it was considered appropriate that such expenditures should be expensed at the time of being incurred. With the project's economic viability having been demonstrated and the Board having announced the decision to proceed with the project development leading to a start-up of production, costs relating to the refurbishment and maintenance of the process plant will be capitalised as part of the project development costs until such time as commercial production is declared. This change of accounting treatment in accordance with accepted accounting practise has the effect that no costs have been classified in the 3 month period ended 30 September 2012 as being operating costs.
Administration costs as reported have reduced by some US$295,943 from US$745,990 for the three months ended 30 September 2011 to US$450,047 for the same three month period in 2012. There have been two significant variances contributing to this reduction. As noted previously, during the 3 month period ended 30 September 2011 the Company was providing waste rock for road construction. The sales of this material, not being sales of metals, did not fall within the revenue definition adopted by the Company and were treated as other income and classified as part of administrative expenses. For the 3 months to September 2011 this amounted to BrR$122,825 (US$75,432). Also in the 3 months ended 31 September 2011, the Company made a provision of BrR$299,250 (US$183,781) in respect of settlement of employment claims made by former employees in Brazil. The charge recorded in the 3 months ended 30 September 2012 was approximately US$14,800. The net effect of these items accounts for US$93,549.
Excluding the above items administration costs incurred in Brazil were US$161,794 for the three months ended 30 September 2012 compared with US$249,272 for the 3 months ended 30 September 2011.
Administration cost incurred outside of Brazil were US$273,451 for the 3 months ended 30 September 2012 a reduction of US$115,000 compared with the 3 month period ended 30 September 2011. Reductions have been achieved in the area of professional fees and also reflect higher levels of investor relations activity in 2011 including branding and web-site development expenditures.
The Company reported an exchange gain of US$9,434 for the 3 months ended 30 September 2012 (3 months to 30 September 2011; exchange loss of US$168,309). The significant exchange loss incurred during 2011 was in part due to greater volatility in exchange rates over this period but also reflects the exchange element of US$70,500 relating to the adjustment of the rehabilitation provision.
Investment income has reduced from US$18,330 to US$1,265 reflecting the reduced levels of cash held by the Company during the quarter ended 30 September 2012 compared with the corresponding quarter of 2011.
9 month period ended 30 September 2012 For the nine month period ended 30 September 2012 the Company recorded a net loss of US$2,884,774 (3.24 US cents per share) compared to a net loss of US$4,044,961 (7.01 US cents per share) for the comparative period last year.
The reduction in the loss of approximately US$1,160,000 is in part explained by variations which have also influenced the results for the three months to 30 September 2012 namely the reductions in depreciation charges, the reduction in provisions for employment claims and the effect of sales of waste rock. In addition with the viability of the project to commence gold production at Palito having been demonstrated by the PEA released in June 2012, costs related to the maintenance of the plant are from 1 July 2012 being capitalised as part of the plant development costs. Previously such expenditure was being expensed as incurred.
Administration costs have reduced slightly from US$2,113,195 for the nine months to 30 September 2011 to US$1,834,000, but this has been affected by the lack of waste rock sales in the nine month period of the current year offset by the reduction in labour claim charges. For the nine months to 30 September 2011 the charges established for employment claims brought against the Company in Brazil totalled BrR$999,451 (US$613,800) compared with BrR$414,677 (US$216,440) for the same nine month period in 2012 creating a saving of US$397,360. Waste rock sales for the nine months to 30 September 2011 amounted to BrR$700,949 (US$430,479) whilst there has been no similar sales income in 2012. The net impact of these items is US$33,119 and thus excluding these effects administration costs have reduced by US$312,314 for the period ended 30 September 2012 compared with the period ended 30 September 2011. Of this, US$186,962 is attributable to costs incurred in Brazil and reflects the reduced headcount and lower levels of activity during the nine months ended 30 September 2012 compared with the corresponding period in 2011 with the balance of US$125,352 being reductions in administration cost incurred outside of Brazil, principally related to lower professional fees and reductions in investor relations activities.
During the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 the company benefitted from a one-off income arising from the settlement of a claim with a supplier which contributed a book income derived from the release of a liability that had been established in respect of the claim of U$540,441.
Depreciation charges for plant and equipment which have reduced by US$933,986 from US$1,741,977 for the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 to US$807,991 for the nine month period to 30 September 2012.
The charges made in respect of the amortisation of share option awards has reduced by approximately US$91,000 from US$186,710 in the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 to US$95,638 in the corresponding period in 2012. This reflects the completion of the amortisation of older option awards during 2011 and the lower level of awards made during the nine month period to 30 September 2011 compared with preceding years.
The Company has realised foreign exchange gains of US$73,940 in the nine month period ended 30 September 2012 compared with a loss for the same period in 2011 of US$26,000. The loss in 2011 included a charge of US$70,500 relating to the foreign exchange element of the increase in the rehabilitation reserve and excluding this one-off exchange loss the exchange gain for the comparable nine month period in 2011 was US$44,500.
Reduced levels of cash holdings explain the reduced level of interest income derived in the nine months ended 30 September 2012 compared with the corresponding period of 2011 falling from US$52,107 to US$6,129.
Exchange differences on the currency translation of foreign operations reflect the revaluation of the assets and liabilities of those foreign operations. The Brazilian Real has fallen in value relative to the United States Dollar over the nine month period ended 30 September 2012. The rate as at 30 September 2012 was 2.0306 Brazilian Real to one United States Dollar compared with a rate as at 31 December 2011 of 1.8758. This decline has resulted in a reduction in US Dollar terms of the book value of the assets of the Company's Brazilian subsidiary in particular the values attributable to the Palito Mine and the deferred exploration interests. Any appreciation in the Brazilian Real will result in a reversal of this exchange loss.
Outlook
Exploration and development activities will continue to be limited. The proceeds of the funding announced on 1 October 2012 will be allocated to the development programme for the start-up of gold production at Palito. The directors expect that future exploration activity will be financed from the cash flow from gold production at Palito and may therefore not be undertaken until such time as sufficient and sustainable levels of cash flow are achieved. With a positive PEA and the financing required for the capital development of Palito now underwritten, the development plan outlined in the PEA can be set in motion. Key elements of this development plan are as follows:

1. Basis of preparation These interim accounts are for the three and nine month periods ended 30 September 2012. Comparative information has been provided for the unaudited three and nine month periods ended 30 September 2011 and, where applicable, the audited twelve month period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011.
The interim accounts for the periods have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and the accounting policies are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 and those envisaged for the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2012. The Group has not adopted any standards or interpretation in advance of the required implementation dates. It is not anticipated that the adoption in the future of the new or revised standards or interpretations that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board will have a material impact on the Group's earnings or shareholders' funds. The Group comprises Serabi Gold plc and its wholly owned subsidiary entities.
(i) Going concern and availability of project finance In common with many companies in the exploration and development stages, the Group raises its finance for exploration and development programmes in discrete tranches. The Group has completed, during the first half of 2012, the preparation of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") into the viability of re-commencing mining operations at the Palito Mine. The results of the PEA were announced on 13 June 2012 and indicated a project after tax internal rate of return of 68% based on employing a selective underground mining operation and exploiting only the previously declared mineral resource estimates. The directors believe that the PEA results support a small scale, high grade operation using selective mining techniques and the Board intends, subject to financing, to undertake the necessary mine development and remedial works as soon as possible.
On 2 October 2012, the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional subscription agreement with Fratelli Investments Limited ("Fratelli"), one of its major shareholders, to subscribe for and underwrite a placement of new shares to raise in aggregate UK£ 16.2 million to finance the development and start-up of underground mining operations at its Palito gold mine. In addition, Fratelli has provided an interim secured short term loan facility of US$6 million to the Company ("Loan Agreement") to provide additional working capital to the Company and to enable it to commence the initial works at Palito. In the opinion of the Board this conditional subscription, if completed, will provide sufficient funds to undertake the mine development and plant and infrastructure improvements and rehabilitation required to commence gold production operations at Palito and will provide working capital for the Company during this period. The Directors consider that thereafter the Group will have sufficient funds to finance the Group and its commitments for the foreseeable future. The Directors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Whilst the Directors are confident that the share subscription will be completed there can be no certainty that this will be the case. Whilst Fratelli have provided an interim loan facility were the additional funding not to become available in an appropriate timescale, the Directors would need to consider alternative strategies and an impairment review would be required in respect of the carrying value of the assets relating to the Palito Mine and other deferred exploration costs. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments to asset carrying values that may be necessary should the Group be unsuccessful in raising the required finance have been recognised in these financial statements.
(ii) Impairment The Directors have undertaken a review of the carrying value of the mining and exploration assets of the Group, and considered the implications of the operational difficulties experienced and the current operational status of Palito. Following this review they have assessed the value of the existing assets on the basis of value in use involving a future recommencement of underground mining operations which is dependent on the ability of the Group to raise future finance and to operate the mine in line with the mine plan that forms the basis of the value in use calculation. The carrying values of assets have not been adjusted to reflect a failure to raise sufficient funds, not achieving the projected levels of operation or that, if a sale transaction were undertaken, the proceeds may not realise the value as stated in the accounts.
(iii) Inventories Inventories - are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(iv) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives.
(v) Mining property The Group commenced commercial production at the Palito mine effective 1 October 2006. Prior to this date all revenues and operating costs were capitalised as part of the development costs of the mine. Effective from 1 October 2006 the accumulated development costs of the mine were re-classified as Mining Property costs and such cost will be amortised over the anticipated life of the mine on a unit of production basis. As the underground mine is currently on care and maintenance and there is no depletion of the reserves and resources attributable to the mine, no amortisation charge has been recorded in the period. The Company announced on 2 October 2012 that it had conditionally secured the funding that the Board considers necessary to undertake the mine development and plant and infrastructure improvements and rehabilitation required to commence gold production operations at Palito. Costs associated with the redevelopment works at the Palito mine will be capitalised until such time as the Group achieves commercial production levels of gold after which time the Group will amortise Mine Property costs on a unit of production basis.
(vi) Revenue Revenue represents amounts receivable in respect of sales of gold and by-products. Revenue represents only sales for which contracts have been agreed and for which the product has been delivered to the purchaser in the manner set out in the contract. Revenue is stated net of any applicable sales taxes. Any unsold production and in particular concentrate are held as inventory and valued at production cost until sold.
(vii) Currencies The condensed financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("US$" or "$"). Other currencies referred to in these condensed financial statements are UK pounds ("UK£ "), Canadian dollars ("C$") and Brazilian Reais ("BrR$").
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of a company are recorded at a rate of exchange approximating to that prevailing at the date of the transaction.
