PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.      CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2011.

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, 2012, the results of its consolidated operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 and for the cumulative period January 5, 2001 (inception) through March 31, 2012, and the changes in its consolidated cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 and for the cumulative period January 5, 2001 (inception) through March 31, 2012, 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. Since that time, the Company has identified that those mining tenements in Northern Australia also have potential for uranium and base metals. 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 the Company’s 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 obviously volatile and unpredictable nature of the commodity markets at the time. Some of these investments include taking a major stake in North Australian Diamonds Ltd (NADL) which controls the Merlin Diamond Mine and includes NADL’s current 31.14% interest in Top End Uranium Ltd and an investment in Northern Capital Resources Corporation which controls gold and zinc assets in Nova Scotia, Canada. These are outlined in further detail below.
 
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 will account for development expenditure by capitalizing such costs. Exploration costs incurred on the Company’s other activities will be written off as incurred to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
 
Legend had been an exploration stage company between August 2006 and February 2011.
 
Legend has been 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 phased implementation plan involves independent development of a direct shipping ore (“DSO”) project, beneficiation project and a fertilizer complex project. The development of these projects is dependent on the phosphate fertilizer market and  access to project finance.
 
In February 2012, following a review, Legend decided to transfer all of the phosphate assets to a 100% owned subsidiary company, Paradise Phosphate Limited (“PPO”)(see note 13). It is the intention that PPO will, pursuant to a prospectus to be filed in Australia, raise equity funds to fund ongoing development of its phosphate assets and for working capital purposes and seek listing of its shares on Australian Securities Exchange.
 
A brief description of each phosphate project is described below:
 
Paradise North
 
Paradise aims to produce high grade (greater than 28% P2O5) phosphate rock from the  Paradise North deposit and potentially the D-Tree deposit. Initial metallurgical test work has also been conducted and Mining Leases have been granted over these deposits. The terms of the Mining Lease permit mining of up to 1 million tonne per year of phosphate rock at Paradise North and 0.5 million tonne per year at D-Tree.
 
Paradise South
 
The Beneficiation Project involves the mining of phosphate ore from the Paradise South deposit and construction of a 1 million tonne per year flotation beneficiation plant at Paradise South. This facility will increase the phosphate concentrate of the ore to produce a Saleable Concentrate of a minimum specification of 32% P2O5 . Reserves have been estimated for Paradise South and a feasibility study for 1 and 2 million tonne per year production capacity is complete. Tender documents for the design and construction of a 1 million tonne per year beneficiation plant and associated infrastructure have been issued.
 
 
11

 
 
Mount Isa
 
Paradise aims to become a fully integrated producer of high analysis phosphate fertilisers, diammonium phosphate (DAP) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP). Feedstock for the proposed plant will be phosphate concentrate manufactured at the proposed Beneficiation Project creating an integrated product pipeline, leveraging full value from our phosphate ore. A feasibility study for the production of DAP and MAP from a proposed fertiliser complex in Mount Isa was completed in 2011.
 
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. Based on this process and the amount of the Company's cash and other current assets as of March 31, 2012, management believes that the Company has sufficient operating liquidity to sustain its activities through 2012. 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 wholly owned subsidiaries Paradise Phosphate Limited, Teutonic Minerals Pty Ltd, Legend International Holdings Limited, Legend Diamonds Pty Ltd and Alexya Pty Ltd; and its majority owned subsidiary NADL. 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.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The amendments in this Update generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This Update resulted in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update were applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments were effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminated the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. While the new guidance changed the presentation of comprehensive income, there were no changes to the components that were recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance; therefore, adoption of the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 did have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2012 and elected to disclose other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement during interim reporting periods.
 
In September 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. This ASU is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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).

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, 2012, A$632,000 of Paradise South phosphate project costs incurred 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).
 
 
13

 
 
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Binomial option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. 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.

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, 2012, stock-based compensation expense relating to stock options was A$14,000. No income tax benefit was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2012 for stock-based compensation arrangements.

GOODWILL
 
Goodwill was recorded as part of the acquisition of NADL. The goodwill amount of A$1,093,000 was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the NADL net assets acquired of A$12,541,000 (net of non-controlling interest) and total consideration of A$13,633,000. In accordance with Topic 350, Intangibles – “Goodwill and Other”, the Company completed an impairment test and determined that the goodwill recorded at the acquisition date was not impaired.
 
15.
MINERAL RIGHTS
 
Mineral rights were recorded upon the acquisition of NADL during 2009 based upon an independent expert’s report prepared for NADL as part of its Target’s Statement to respond to the on market takeover offer by the Company, which included a valuation of Mineral Rights of the mineral properties of NADL with mineralized material which were valued at A$18,873,000. The underlying mineral property licenses have a set term and the Mineral Rights are being amortized over the term of the licenses. The amortization charge for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is A$350,000 (2011: A$350,000) and the net carrying value of Mineral Rights at March 31, 2012 is A$15,144,000.
 
16.
CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
Effective as of February 7, 2012, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Paradise, with two Australian investment funds, pursuant to which Paradise issued $7.5 million in principal amount of notes due 12 months from the issue date (the “Notes”), which bear interest at a nominal rate of 10% per annum (the actual amount of effective interest depends upon the event that triggers repayment). If, within 12 months of the completion date of the agreement, Paradise conducts a public offering of securities in Australia and those securities are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, then the Notes will be converted into ordinary shares of Paradise at a conversion rate which is based on the pre-money value of Paradise at the time of the public offering of securities.
 
17.
LONG TERM DEBT
 
During November 2010, the Company entered into a US$ denominated loan facility agreement with a third party lender, which provides for a US$3.2 million credit facility and has a term of five years. Interest on borrowings under the agreement is fixed at 6.70% per annum.
 
Borrowings under this agreement amounted to A$2.72 million (US$2.83 million) at March 31, 2012 and is secured by certain equipment purchased by the Company. This debt matures in 2015 with the aggregate amount of payment obligations after March 31, 2012 as follows:

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. Changes in unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to A$nil and A$196,000 respectively. Accordingly, the comprehensive (loss) attributable to Legend’s stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to A$(6,561,000) and A$(6,642,000) respectively.
 
19.
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.
 
 
19

 
 
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, 2012, the net deferred tax asset consisted of the following:
 
   
USA
2012
A$000s

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 PPO, the Company has realised carrying-forward net operating losses and exploration expenditure. In addition the Company recorded an estimated current tax liability of A$650,000 resulting from the transaction.
 
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$11,026,000 at December 31, 2010 and expire in years 2023 through 2030. Net operating loss carryforwards in Australia do not have a definite expiration date and amounted to A$15,923,000.
 
The Company’s tax years for all years since December 31, 2007 remain open to most taxing authorities.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated events and transactions after the balance sheet date and, through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and believes that all relevant disclosures have been included herein and there are no other events which require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than disclosed herein.
 
On April 30, 2012, Paradise raised A$2.5 million via an increase in the convertible note facility referred to in Note 16. The A$2.5 million will convert into equity in Paradise on the same terms and conditions set out in Note 16.

Item 2.                      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
FUND COSTS CONVERSION
 
The statements of comprehensive loss and other financial and operating data contained elsewhere here in and the balance sheets and financial results have been reflected in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.
 
The following table shows the average rate of exchange of the Australian dollar as compared to the US dollar during the periods indicated:
 
 
3 months ended March 31, 2011
A$1.00 = US$1.031
 
3 months ended March 31, 2012
A$1.00 = US$1.0386
 
3 months ended March 31, 2011
A$1.00 = CDN$0.9973
 
3 months ended March 31, 2012
A$1.00 = CDN$0.9656
 
RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2011.
 
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, 2012 to the three months ended March 31, 2011 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 decreased from A$261,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$55,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which primarily represents interest on funds in the bank of A$47,000 (2011: A$238,000), as a result of the reducing cash at bank balances as funds have been used for operational purposes; interest income from a related entity of A$nil (2011: A$17,000) due to lower amounts owed to the Company as a provision for doubtful receivable was created at December 31, 2011 and reduction in NADL’s fuel rebate to $nil (2011: A$6,000) for fuel usage of the Merlin Project
 
Costs and expenses decreased from A$6,315,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$5,960,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in expenses is a net result of:
 
 
a)
an increase in legal, accounting and professional expense from A$119,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$554,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase for the three months ending March 31, 2012 relate to professional fees of A$405,000 for attorneys, accountants, experts  and advisors for the spin out of the phosphate assets into a subsidiary which is being prepared for an initial public offering and listing on Australian Securities Exchange.
 
 
b)
a decrease in exploration expenditure written off from A$3,038,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$2,195,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The exploration costs include drilling/geological/geophysical/mineral analysis contractors, salaries for contract field staff, travel costs, accommodation and tenement costs on properties where we have not estimated mineral reserves.  In relation to our diamond activities, included within exploration expenditure for the three months ending March 31, 2012 was A$844,000 for further studies confirming the scale and viability of the Merlin project and surrounding areas and costs of the plant and camp. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our diamond activities at Merlin and surrounding areas included drilling and trial testing amounting to A$373,000.  On our phosphate activities, we continued to advance the current feasibility test work and for the three months ended March 31, 2012, A$632,000 of costs were incurred on the Paradise South phosphate project, which were capitalized and included in development costs. We only calculated mineral reserves for Paradise South at the end of the March 2011 quarter so there were no comparable amounts capitalized in 2011 first quarter.

 
c)
a decrease in aircraft maintenance costs from A$273,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$226,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to reduction in usage.
 
 
d)
a decrease in stock based compensation from A$210,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$14,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company has issued options under the 2006 Incentive Option Plan throughout 2006 to 2010. The decrease is a result of a majority of the options being fully vested in prior periods.
 
 
21

 
 
 
e)
an increase in interest expense from A$68,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to an increase in finance leases that bear interest; an advance from an affiliate that incurs interest, and interest bearing long term debt.
 
 
f)
an increase in convertible note costs from A$nil for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$484,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to the convertible note agreement the Company entered into via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Paradise, with two Australian investment funds. The expense in the current period represents the legal and advisors fees in relation to the issue of the convertible notes (see note 16).
 
 
g)
amortization of mineral rights of A$350,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012. On the acquisition date of the business combination of NADL (August 6, 2009), the Company recognized mineral rights of A$18,873,000. The underlying mineral property licenses have a set term and the mineral rights are being amortized over the term of the licenses.
 
 
h)
a decrease in administration expense from A$2,257,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$2,028,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 is a net result of: (i) an increase in direct costs, indirect costs and service fees charged to the Company by AXIS which increased from A$1,421,000 to A$1,715,000 primarily as a result of a increase in direct costs incurred on our behalf by AXIS; (ii) a decrease in the cost of travel and accommodation relating to the business activities of the Company  from A$243,000 to A$5,000 as there have  been less travel for business and marketing purposes in the current quarter; (iii) a decrease in investor relations and other consultants costs from A$197,000 to A$49,000 as a result of decrease in business activity; and (iv) a increase in property rentals and associated costs from A$142,000 to A$148,000 as a result of increase in outgoing costs.
 
As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations decreased from A$6,054,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to A$5,905,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
A decrease in the foreign currency exchange loss from A$4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to a foreign exchange gain of A$58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was recorded as a result of the movement in the Australian dollar versus the US dollar.
 
An impairment of equity investments was recorded of A$471,000 (2011: $nil) as the Company has assessed the current net asset value of the investment from the information available and determined that a provision for impairment was appropriate.
 
At December 31, 2011, management considered the recoverability of the amount owed by AXIS and in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards provided a provision for doubtful receivable. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 the company recorded an adjustment to the provision of A$587,000.
 
The loss before income taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated entities was A$6,048,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to A$5,731,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
The Company has recorded a current tax liability of $A650,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (2011 A$nil) as a result of the transfer of the phosphate assets to a 100% owned subsidiary of Legend.
 
The equity losses in unconsolidated entities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to A$180,000 (2011: A$398,000). The Company holds a 31.50% interest in Northern Capital Resources Corp and the Company through its investment in NADL holds a 31.14% investment in Top End Uranium Ltd at March 31, 2012. The Company accounts for both of these investments using the equity method of accounting. The Company held a 31.46% investment in Northern Capital Resources Corp and NADL held 31.06% interest in Top End Uranium Ltd at March 31, 2011.
 
The net loss was A$6,561,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a net loss of A$6,446,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
The share of the loss attributable to the non-controlling interests of NADL for the three months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to A$702,000, compared to a loss of A$274,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011 the Company’s interest in NADL was 49.31% and at March 31, 2012 its interest was 49.16%. During  the three months ended March 31, 2012, 3,656,000 options were exercised at A$0.16 and NADL issued 3,656,000 shares for net consideration of A$580,000 which resulted in an increase in non-controlling interest of CDN$643,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 the Company purchased a further 26,630 shares in NADL at a cost of A$6,000.
 
The net loss attributable to Legend stockholders amounted to A$5,859,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to A$6,172,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was A$5,751,000 (2011: A$4,175,000) primarily consisting of the net loss of A$6,561,000 (2011: A$6,446,000), depreciation and amortization of A$751,000 (2011: A$856,000), increase in accounts receivable of A$153,000 (2011: A$80,000); increase in prepayments and deposits of A$31,000 (2011: decrease A$496,000); no movement in inventories and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of A$210,000 (2011: A$422,000).
 
Net cash used in investing activities was A$647,000 (2011: A$1,680,000) which consisted of the following major items; purchase of an additional 26,630 shares in NADL at a cost of A$6,000 (2011: A$25,000), purchase of plant and equipment A$9,000 (2011: A$1,655,000) and purchase of plant, sundry equipment including plant upgrade at Merlin, and additions to mine development of A$632,000 (2011: A$nil).
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was A$8,482,000 (2011: (used) A$996,000) being primarily represented by net proceeds from the  issue of convertible notes of  A$7,500,000 for which there was no equivalent for the three months ended March 31, 2011, repayments under finance leases of A$70,000 (2011: A$114,000), repayments by affiliates of A$587,000 (2011: advance A$1,067,000), proceeds from loans of A$nil (2011: A$301,000) repayment of long term debt A$115,000 (2011: $116,000) and in NADL, the exercise of 3,656,000 options for net proceeds of A$580,000 (2010: A$nil).
 
As at March 31, 2012, the Company had A$4,448,000 in cash.
 
 We plan to continue our exploration and development program throughout 2012 and the Company has an obligation to incur expenditure on phosphate projects of A$1,800,000, diamond project of A$3,100,000 and other commodity projects of A$400,000. Our budget for general administration costs for 2012 is A$2,200,000, Paradise’s budget for general and administration costs for 2012 is A$3,700,000 and NADL’s budget for general administrative costs in 2012 of A$3,100,000.
 
On February 13, 2012, the Company announced that it had achieved the first major milestone for financing of its 100% owned Paradise Phosphate Project.
 
This first step has involved a transfer of all Legend’s phosphate assets into a 100% owned subsidiary of Legend; the issue of 100 million ordinary shares (100% of the issued shares of the subsidiary) by the subsidiary to Legend; and funding via a A$7.5 million convertible note facility (“Convertible Note Agreement”) which has been injected into the subsidiary through Acorn Capital Ltd (“Acorn”), an Australian financial institution. The A$7.5 million will convert into equity in the subsidiary upon a successful Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and listing of the subsidiary on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) within 12 months of the note issue date.
 
Acorn is a significant cornerstone investor from the Australian market and will act as a strong catalyst for further investment in the future developments of the project. Legend anticipates that by using an Australian subsidiary it is better placed to lift the profile of the world quality phosphate assets, provide a stronger trading platform that will help maximise their value and enable further capital raising to support the development of phosphate rock production and subsequent value added products.
 
The phosphate assets comprise the Paradise Phosphate Rock Deposits of Paradise North (historically know as Lady Jane) and Paradise South (historically known as Lady Annie), the D-Tree deposit and the deposits associated with Legend’s rights and obligations under the King Eagle Joint Venture agreement (i.e. Highland Plains, Lily & Sherrin Creek and Quita Creek). The assets include the exploration and mining permits and applications associated with the above deposits and related infrastructure.
 
The transfer of the phosphate assets is to a 100% owned subsidiary called Paradise Phosphate Pty Ltd (“Paradise”). Legend’s senior management are of the opinion that a dedicated Australian company wholly focused on phosphate is best placed to bring the project into production and is in the best interests of all Legend’s stockholders. It will also assist us in seeking investment by Australian financial institutions such as Acorn and other global managed funds that have not been able to invest in stocks listed on the OTC Bulletin Board in the USA.
 
The convertible note facility of A$7.5 million to Paradise is repayable 12 months from the issue date of the agreement. The notes bear interest at the nominal rate of 10% per annum (the actual amount of effective interest depends upon the event that triggers repayment).  If, within 12 months of the completion date of the agreement, Paradise conducts a public offering of securities in Australia and those securities are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, then the Notes will be convertible into ordinary shares of Paradise at a conversion rate which is based on the pre-money value of Paradise at the time of the public offering of securities. In early May 2012, the amount of the convertible note was increased by A$2.5 million.
 
Further, if Paradise proceeds to an IPO; (i) Paradise will be the issuer of the securities to be offered; and (ii) a disclosure document for the offer of the securities under Australian law will be made available when the shares are offered;
 
 
23

 
 
Funds received under the convertible note facility will be used to progress the project, its development, production and ultimately the export of phosphate rock from the phosphate deposits. The notes are secured by a security interest in the phosphate assets and in the shares of Paradise.
 
Paradise will continue discussions with potential strategic partners in relation to participating in the full development of the fertilizer complex in Mt Isa, Queensland, Australia. Legend has been progressing these discussions with various international industry fertilizer corporations for over 12 months and expects to finalise any potential transaction in 2012, however, in the event there are any delays in finalising a transaction the Company intends to continue with the initial development of phosphate rock production at Paradise North.
 
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 which time as the Company can commence revenue producing activities.
 
As future exploration and development 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 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 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,

Item 3.                      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
At March 31, 2012, the Company had long-term debt of A$2,726,000 (US$2,831,000). As the Loan Facility is in US dollars, a change in the exchange rate between the A$ 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 an A$28,000 effect on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of comprehensive loss.

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 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
 
(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, 2012, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.
