Ratification of Prior Share Issue: (Resolution 4)

Shareholder approval is not required for the issue of the Shares outlined in Resolution 4, but is sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in order to provide the Company with flexibility during the next 12 month period to issue further equity securities within the limits imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of shares made without shareholder approval is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach the 15% limit and shareholders subsequently approve the issue.

ASX listing Rule 10.11 states that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an entity may not issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of holders of ordinary securities by ordinary resolution:

Gold Star Industry Limited is controlled by Geoff Baker, a Director. Accordingly, in order to issue Shares to Gold Star Industry Limited, it is necessary to obtain the approval of shareholders.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to shareholders:

  • (a) Name of the person:

  • (f) Use of funds raised

No funds are being raised.

The Directors (with Geoff Baker abstaining) unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

Approval of Shares Consolidation (Resolution 6)

Background

Section 254H of the Corporations Act and Article 45 of the Company’s Articles of Association provide that the Company may, by ordinary resolution passed in general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a smaller number of shares.

This resolution proposes a consolidation of the Company’s issued share capital.

The Company currently has on issue 1,640,811,168 Shares. The resolution proposes the consolidation of the capital of the Company by consolidating every 10 Shares currently on issue into 1 Share. The result will be that each shareholder will hold in number 1/10th of the shares held prior to the consolidation. The resolution, if approved, will take effect:

  • (a) if Resolution 5 is passed, on the date that is the next Business Day after the date of this Meeting; or

  • (b) if Resolution 5 is not passed, the date that this Resolution 6 is passed.

Consolidation on this basis will result in the existing Shareholders holding approximately the following number of shares on completion of the consolidation:

Current Post consolidation
Issued shares 1,640,811,168 164,081,117
  • This number is calculated without regard to the issue of shares to Gold Star Industry Limited and will vary due to the rounding up and down of fractional entitlements. The number of shares on issue will change as a result of the issue of shares to Gold Star Industry Limited, if approved by shareholders.

The consolidation will not involve the payment of or distribution of any amounts to Shareholders and will not alter the Company’s paid up capital. Consolidation of the Shares will reduce the number of Shares held by each Shareholder on a proportionate basis and will not otherwise alter the relative interests of each Shareholder (except in a minor way due to rounding on fractional entitlements). Each Shareholder will generally retain the same percentage interest in the Company both prior to, and after, consolidation of the Shares (subject to rounding on fractional entitlements).

Fractional entitlements

Fractions of shares resulting from the consolidation will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. Fractional entitlements to ½ of a share will be rounded up. Shares resulting from rounding up will be issued as fully paid up.

The Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by shareholders for the purpose of calculating entitlements.

Example of effect of consolidation

For a shareholder holding shares prior to the consolidation, the effect of this resolution (if approved) will be as follows:

Pre consolidation Post consolidation
Number of shares 1,000 100
5,000 500
10,000 1,000
50,000 5,000
100,000 10,000
250,000 25,000
1,000,000 100,000

Reasons for consolidation

The Company’s ordinary shares remain suspended from quotation for trading on the ASX and the Company wishes to seek official requotation of its securities on the ASX. The Company must satisfy the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if the Company was making an initial application for its Shares to be admitted to the Official List and for its Shares to be officially quoted for trading on ASX. One of the requirements is that the issue or sale price of the Company’s securities for which requotation is sought must be at least 20 cents per share.

The Directors believe that by consolidation of the shares of the Company on a ratio of one (1) share for every ten (10) shares held shall place the Company in a position to comply with the Listing Rules.

Consolidation will assist the Company to comply with one of the Listing Rule requirements and enable the Company to apply for requotation of its Shares on the ASX.

In addition, the Company proposes to undertake the Capital Raising the subject of Resolution 7. The Listing Rules requires that the issue price of the Shares (for which requotation will be sought) must be at least 20 cents per Share, Accordingly, the issue of Shares by the Company at an issue price of $0.25 for each Share under the Capital Raising will assist in the Company’s compliance with the relevant Listing Rule requirement.

The Board also considers that the smaller number of shares on issue would make the Company more attractive to potential investors. The proposed share consolidation will not have any impact (except for an immaterial impact resulting from rounding of fractional entitlements) on the proportional shareholding of individual shareholders and the net asset backing of all of the issued shares in aggregate will remain the same post consolidation.

Australian tax implications

The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the share consolidation. The Company and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences of the share consolidation. As a result, Shareholders should consult their own professional tax advisers in connection with the share consolidation.

Timetable

An indicative timetable for the consolidation is set out below.

The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

Approval of Capital Raising (Resolution 7)

The Company intends to raise new capital of up to $10 million by the issue of new Shares at an issue price of approximately $0.25 for each Share under the Prospectus. The capital raising is proposed to raise a minimum of $3 million and a maximum of $10 million. The raising may include attaching options with the Shares issued to subscribers on terms yet to be confirmed.

The proceeds from the Capital Raising will be used to fund the Company’s planned diversified growth strategy where the Company plans to build upon its business units both organically, and by identifying external opportunities including, acquisitions, joint venture opportunities and strategic investments.

Of the 40 million Shares to be offered, up to 10 million Shares may be offered in priority to the Shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on a first come first served basis, subject to the Directors’ discretion. The capital raising will therefore give Shareholders an opportunity to participate in the capital raising and new investors to make an initial investment in the Company.

This resolution is only effective if Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an ASX listed company may not issue equity securities comprising more than 15% of its issued shares in any 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval unless the issue comes within any of the specified exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the proposed issue of Shares under the Prospectus as the maximum number of Shares to be issued under the Prospectus, when aggregated with shares issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, will exceed 15% of the number of the Company’s securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires specific information to be included in the notice of meeting in relation to the proposed issue of Shares. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) Maximum number of securities to be issued:

Up to 40,000,000 Shares. The Company proposes to raise a minimum of $3 million, comprising 12,000,000 Shares, and a maximum of $10 million, comprising 40,000,000 Shares.

  • (b) Date by which the Company will issue the securities:

All the Shares to be issued under the Capital Raising will be issued following close of the offer period under the Prospectus. The offer period is presently expected to be 30 days.

In any event, the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting.

  • (c) Issue price of the securities:

The issue price of each Share to be issued is approximately $0.25.

  • (d) Names of the allottees or the basis upon which allottees will be identified or selected:

The subscribers of the Shares are expected to be Shareholders, investors and members of the general public.

  • (e) Terms of the securities:

The Shares are to be issued at approximately $0.25 for each Share with all Shares to rank, on and from the date of issue, equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.

(f) Intended use of the funds raised:

The Company presently intends that the funds raised under the Capital Raising will be used to fund the Company’s planned diversified growth strategy where the Company plans to build upon its business units both organically, and by identifying external opportunities including, acquisitions, joint venture opportunities and strategic investments.

Approval of Employee Share Option Plan (Resolution 8)

This resolution seeks shareholder approval to adopt and maintain an incentive share plan, the ASF Share Plan, to provide ongoing incentives to Directors, executives and employees of the Company. The terms of the ASF Share Plan are summarised below.

Staff, executive and Directors can be rewarded through an incentive share plan, which awards incentive shares or rights to shares to them. Thus, they are given an incentive to improve the Company’s performance benefiting both themselves and shareholders. Accordingly, in line with industry practice, shareholders should consider providing incentives for further efforts by staff, executives and directors to continue the advances made by the Company by approving incentive shares or rights in the Company.

By granting these shares or rights, the Directors not only have a tool to improve the Company’s performance but can attract key executives and directors to strengthen the company. Shareholders benefit if the Company’s share price improves as a result of better performance from the staff, executive and directors.

If the resolution is passed, the ASF Share Plan will enable the Company to issue shares to Directors, executives and employees of the Company as part of a performance based incentive program. Directors will be able to participate in the ASF Share Plan. However, under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, no shares can be issued to a Director without shareholder approval for the number of shares to be issued.

Resolution 8 is proposed to obtain shareholder approval for the adoption of the ASF Share Plan and to enable the Company to subsequently issue securities under the ASF Share Plan under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 an entity must not issue, or agree to issue, more than 15% of its capital without the approval of its members. By obtaining approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9, securities may be issued under the ASF Share Plan without the need to obtain shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, for a period of 3 years (subject to the provisions of the ASX Listing Rules).

In obtaining shareholder approval for the issue of securities under the ASF Share Plan pursuant to Resolution 8, the Company retains the ability to issue up to 15% of its capital to take advantage of any capital raising opportunities.

As the ASF Share Plan is a new incentive plan, no securities have been issued under the Plan and the Plan has not been previously approved.

Summary of the ASF Share Plan:

  1. The Board may in its sole discretion invite any director, executive, manager or employee to apply for shares or rights in the Company pursuant to the Plan. These shares or rights will be issued on such terms and conditions prescribed by the Board in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

  2. The Company may not invite participation in the Plan other than in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act or by fulfilling the conditions and requirements of an applicable exemption from the Corporations Act.

  3. Once the Directors have determined the terms of issue of shares, number of shares or rights and the class of members who are eligible for those shares, then staff executives or Directors, depending on eligibility may apply for the shares according to those terms. A “member” extends to any director, executive, manager or employee of the company.

  4. The company may reject any application where the Member has received a termination of his or her engagement with the Company e.g. he or she is dismissed as an employee.

  5. Shares or rights will be subject to such escrow requirement as may be imposed by the ASX, but otherwise listing of shares will be subject to policy adopted by the Directors.

  6. There are the other provisions concerning the keeping of registers, issue of certificates or holding statements and application procedures etc as are normally used with administering such incentive share plans.

  7. The Plan may be amended by the Board subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and all other applicable laws..

  8. The Plan will be administered by the Board or an administrator appointed by the Board. The Board may make such rules for the conduct of the plan as it thinks fit.

Any shareholder requiring a copy of the full terms of the Plan will be sent one free on request to the Company Secretary.

The Directors and their associates are excluded from voting on this Ordinary Resolution. Accordingly, the Directors make no recommendation in relation to this Ordinary Resolution.

Amendment to Articles of Association (Resolution 9)

This special resolution proposes that the existing Article 3 of the Articles of Association of the Company be replaced with the following new Article 3 (which replicates provisions contained in the Listing Rules):

  1. Paramount effect of Listing Rules

  2. While the Company remains on the Official List, the following provisions apply:

  3. (1) despite anything contained in these Articles, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done;

  4. (2) nothing contained in these Articles prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done;

  5. (3) if the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be);

  6. (4) if the Listing Rules require these Articles to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision these Articles must be treated as containing that provision;

  7. (5) if the Listing Rules require these Articles not to contain a provision and it contains such a provision, these Articles must be treated as not containing that provision; and

  8. (6) if any provision of these Articles is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, these Articles must be treated as not containing that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

Where any rule, or provision in any rule, is expressed to be subject to the Listing Rules or contains words to the same effect, the rule or provision is only subject to the provisions of the Listing Rules while the Company remains on the Official List.”

The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this Special Resolution.

Chairman and President’s Report

The results of the ASF Group for 2007 are now beginning to reflect the major transformation and restructuring of the ASF Group following its change of majority ownership in March 2006. While the Group did not reach profitability, strong growth in revenues and business investment occurred during the year. On a consolidated basis, the Group produced revenues of A$20,117,000 and a net loss after adjusting for minority interests of A$1,541,413 for the financial year ending 30 June 2007.

We are now setting about delivering an exciting future for the Group to position the business for rapid growth in a number of critical areas building on the continued rapid growth of trade and investment between China and Australia:

  • �Resources:� the Group through its wholly owned subsidiary ASF Resources Pty Limited (“ASFR”) has assembled mineral exploration projects in Australia both in Tasmania (prospective for base metals and tin in the established mineralized belt of western Tasmania) and Western Australia (2,000 square kilometres in the Canning Basin comprising seven Exploration Licences and two Exploration Licence Applications prospective for coal and diamonds). ASFR’s strategy is to build a portfolio of quality exploration and mining projects and enter partnering and co-investing arrangements with major Chinese mining groups.

  • Property: the Group has the exclusive master license for PRDnationwide in China and Macau. It will now roll out sub-licenses in China. In addition we have the exclusive international marketing rights for major Sydney developers including Rosecorp, - which has in recent years proved very popular in China. We are now promoting these high quality Australian developers to our international sales centres in China and eventually through our PRDnationwide overseas network. We are also in advanced stages of the formation of an Australian China focused Property Trust, investing in property projects in China.

  • Travel: we own a 40% interest in ASF Macau Multinational Holdings Limited which owns a substantial travel group in southern China and Macau and which we are looking to expand. The full year’s performance of the Travel group is now reflected in this financial year’s results.

In addition to these three major areas of development we are also investing considerable time and resources in developing other business opportunities. We have formed an entity called ASF Ventures Limited which will be a facilitator of capital and supplier of funds for Chinese and Australian entities.

Through the financial year 2007 the Company successfully concluded a private capital raising of $2.09m from new investors and is in the process of doing a capital reconstruction to enable it to be re-quoted on the ASX. At the same time it is considering doing a further capital raising from the public by issuing a prospectus shortly where the Company may raise up to $10m of new capital to fund its diversified growth strategy.

The future for the Group is very exciting. We have built within the Group highly skilled executives that know how to do business in China, that have successfully built businesses in the past and are eager to develop value in the Group. This will enable us to build a Group that will successfully bridge opportunities between Australia and China creating a diversified Group investing in Resources & Energy, Property and China Ventures.

Directors’ Report

The Directors present their report together with the financial report of ASF Group Limited (“the Company”) and of the consolidated entity, being the Company and its controlled entities, for the year ended 30 June 2007 and the auditor’s report thereon.

Review of Operations

Company�Growth

ASF Group Limited has begun to successfully build its operations throughout the year. It now has a strong Australia-China focus, is result driven and oriented organization. ASF Group Ltd not only acts as a bridge, building synergies for business opportunities between Australia, and China, but more importantly our company will incubate and co-invest with partners to ensure business ventures achieve their ultimate goals.

ASF Group Limited operates from its Sydney head office and across China with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau. In addition the directors and senior management each have extensive experience in dealing in China and operating businesses in Australia. The focus of the company is as follows:

  • Mineral Resources and Energy

  • Property Marketing and Services

  • Travel Services

  • China Ventures

Mineral�Resources�&�Energy�-�� ASF�Resources�Pty�Limited

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, ASF Resources Pty Limited (“ASFR”), has assembled mineral exploration projects in Australia. ASFR’s strategy is to build a portfolio of quality exploration and mining projects and enter partnering and co-investing arrangements with major Chinese mining groups.

The Company has established relationships with a number of major mining groups in China that are interested to invest in Australia’s resources sector and, in this regard, it has entered into a Partner Agreement with Xin Wen Mining Group of Shandong Province. In this way, the Company acts as both a ‘gateway’ and co-investor for certain Chinese mining groups that are ready to ‘internationalise’ by participating in Australia’s resources sector.

ASFR’s current resource interests are:

  • A large project area in the Canning Basin of Western Australia comprising seven Exploration Licences and two Exploration Licence Applications covering an area of approximately 2,000 square kilometres. These tenements are known to be prospective for coal and diamonds.

  • Two projects in Tasmania that are prospective for base metals and tin in the established mineralized belt of western Tasmania.

The Company, through ASFR, intends to expand and further investigate this portfolio of resource assets. In doing so, the Company intends to fund most of the required mineral exploration expenditure on these projects by way of co-investing arrangements at either the project level or within ASFR.

Property�Marketing�&�Services�-�� ASF�Properties�Pty�Limited�

The Company is broadening the Property activities under its wholly owned subsidiary ASF Properties Pty Ltd and now operates in the following areas:

  • Property Marketing & Services

  • ASF Properties undertakes International Property Marketing where it undertakes project marketing for some of Australia’s leading Developers in China. This includes the Award winning residential development Breakfast Point, Rosecorp’s $1.5 billion development at Canada Bay, Sydney.

  • ASF Properties is currently in negotiations to obtain rights to acquire land and existing properties in multiple locations around China including He Fei, Yan Cheng and Macau.

  • Services are provided in China through the Company’s offices and include:

    • Planning & concept design

    • Project management from conception to completion

Directors’ Report - continued

  • China Property Trust

  • ASF Properties has engaged advisors to assist it in establishing a China focused Property Trust initially raising up to $200 million focused on land mark commercial, hotel and residential developments in China in the regional areas of China.

  • The Trust’s Board of Directors will have experienced China property directors guiding the development of the Trust

  • ASF Properties will become the manager of the China Property Trust and will source property projects for the proposed Trust.

  • PRDnationwide China

ASF Properties owns the Master License for PRDnationwide in China and Macau. As a result ASF now has access to world leading Project Marketing and franchise systems supplied by PRDnationwide.

PRDnationwide was established in 1976 in Australia and has more than 130 offices throughout Australia with affiliate offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. It employs approximately 200 people in Australia and an additional 1500 people are employed throughout the PRDnationwide franchise network in Australia.

PRDnationwide China has been set up by ASF to take advantage of the rapid rise in property development in China and is concentrated solely on project marketing. This provides an excellent platform for developers across Australia, China and other countries.

It is planned to roll out 150 plus PRDnationwide licensed regional offices in China in the next three to five years in the major regional centres of China.

ASF has established three wholly owned and operated PRDnationwide offices in China: Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. Also, part of ASF’s plans is to build wholly owned PRDnationwide International Property Exhibition Centers across Chinese major cities. The first centre recently opened in Shanghai and the second in Guangzhou.

Travel�Services�-�ASF�Macau�Multinational� Holdings�Ltd�

ASF owns 40% of Multinational Travel Group in Macau and HK, which includes a managed interest in an extensive Southern China travel operator in Guangzhou - (GSITS). The remaining 60% is owned by a company controlled by Alex Lao (Director of ASF Group Ltd).

The Multinational Travel Group is a leading travel group in Macau and Southern China with:

  • 25 owned and affiliated offices Macau, Hong Kong and Guangdong

  • 200+ staff in these owned and affiliated offices & 40+ buses operating through the region

  • Serves close to 500,000 tourists per year

The Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, known as Macau (or Macao) with over 20m visitors every year and Gaming revenue already surpassing Las Vegas is now one of the world’s hottest tourist destinations.

China�Ventures�-�ASF�Ventures�Limited

ASF Ventures has been recently formed to make minority equity investments in companies that have roots in both Australia and China, often associated with successful Australian entrepreneurs of mainland Chinese background. It will act as a venture investor, along with a group of coinvestors, in early stage or expansion opportunities, involving some form of Australia - China business synergy, such as:

  • Expansion of Australian companies into the China market

  • Relocation of operational elements of Australian companies, such as manufacturing or software development, to China

  • The international expansion of private Chinese companies, via a platform incorporating key Australian activities such as product development

  • Supporting China based start ups of Chinese Australians

� Bridging business between Australia & China

Annual Report 2007

The industries of focus will tend to reflect the background of ASF’s principals and their close advisers, most notably, education services and cleantech associated investments.

ASF Ventures has examined many potential ventures. A small number are currently being further investigated , including, viz:

  • Large�scale�energy�storage�systems - based upon

  • technology from Australia to be manufactured in China and distributed there and internationally

  • Educational�Services – expansion of the domestic

  • adult education and international education arms of a major national Chinese university, in co-operation with an experienced Australian commercial education operator

  • �Renewable�energy� – exploitation in China, via use of Australian technology, of a major new source of clean energy

In addition the Company is in the process of preparing for a fundraising to raise up to $10m.

Non-Audit�Services

Hall Chadwick provided non-audit services during the year. Hall Chadwick provided tax services and due diligence services.

The Board is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year by the auditors is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001:

  • all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the board to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out APES 110: Code of Ethics for professional accountants set by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Annual Report 2007

Corporate Governance Statement

Board of Directors

Director�education

The consolidated entity has an informal process to educate new directors about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy and the expectations of the consolidated entity concerning performance of directors. Directors also have the opportunity to visit consolidated entity facilities and meet with management to gain a better understanding of business operations.

Independent�professional�advice�and�access�to� Company�information

Each Director has the right of access to all relevant Company information and to the Company’s executives and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent professional advice from a suitably qualified adviser at the Company’s expense. A copy of the advice received by the Director is to be made available to all other members of the board.

Composition�of�the�Board

The composition of the board is determined using the following principles:

  • a majority of independent non-executive directors; the Company is working towards satisfying this principle.

  • a majority of directors having extensive knowledge of the Company’s industries, and those which do not, have extensive expertise in significant aspects of auditing and financial reporting, or risk management of large companies; and

  • a non-executive independent director as Chairperson; the Company will work towards this principle, however at this time while the Company is in the reconstruction and development phase, the Board believes is not appropriate to meet this criterion.

Nomination�of�directors

The Board oversees the appointment and induction process for directors and committee members, and the selection, appointment and succession planning process of the

Company’s executive management team. The appropriate skill mix, personal qualities, expertise and diversity are factors taken into account in each case. When a vacancy exists or there is a need for particular skills, the Board determines the selection criteria based on the required skills.

The Board annually reviews the effectiveness of the functioning of the Board, individual directors, and senior executives.

Audit�Committee�Work

The Company has not established an Audit Committee and the Board performs this role. The Board advises on the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and appropriate ethical standards for the management of the consolidated entity. After expansion of the number of Directors, the Board intends to establish an Audit Committee.

Currently the Board:

  • reviews the annual, half-year and concise financial reports and other financial information distributed externally. This includes approving new accounting policies to ensure compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and generally accepted accounting principles, and assessing whether the financial information is adequate for shareholder needs;

  • assesses whether non-audit services provided by the external auditor are consistent with maintaining the external auditor’s independence. Each reporting period the external auditor provides an independence declaration in relation to the audit or review;

  • assesses the adequacy of the internal control framework and the Company’s code of ethical standards;

  • discusses the external audit and internal audit plans, identifying any significant changes in structure, operations, internal controls or accounting policies likely to impact the financial statements and to review the fees proposed for the audit work to be performed;

  • monitors the procedures to ensure compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules and all other regulatory requirements; and

��

Corporate Governance Statement - continued

  • addresses any matters with the auditors, Australian Taxation Office, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and ASX

  • reviews the nomination and performance of the external auditor. The current external auditor was appointed at the Company’s 28 March 2006 General Meeting;

Risk�Management

Overview�of�the�risk�management�system

The board oversees the establishment, implementation, and annual review of the Company’s Risk Management System, including assessing, monitoring and managing operational, financial reporting, and compliance risks for the consolidated entity. The financial reporting risk management and associated compliance and controls have been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively. The operational and other compliance risk management have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively. All risk assessments covered the whole financial year and the period up to the signing of the annual financial report for all material operations in the consolidated entity, and material associates and joint ventures.

Risk�management�and�compliance�and�control

The consolidated entity strives to ensure that its products are of the highest standard. Towards this aim it has undertaken a program to achieve AS/NZS ISO 9002 accreditation for each of its business segments.

The board is responsible for the overall internal control framework, but recognises that no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities.

Practices have been established to ensure:

  • capital expenditure and revenue commitments above a certain size obtain prior board approval;

  • financial exposures are controlled, including the use of derivatives. Further details of the Company’s policies relating to interest rate management, forward exchange rate management and credit risk management are included in the financial statements;

  • occupational health and safety standards and management systems are monitored and reviewed to achieve high standards of performance and compliance with regulations;

  • business transactions are properly authorised and executed;

  • the quality and integrity of personnel;

  • financial reporting accuracy and compliance with the financial reporting regulatory framework.

Financial�reporting

Monthly actual results are reported against budgets approved by the directors and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly.

Ethical�standards

All directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the consolidated entity.

Conflict�of�interest

Directors must keep the board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company. The board has developed procedures to assist directors to disclose potential conflicts of interest and all employees have signed non disclosure agreements.

Communication�with�shareholders

The board provides shareholders and investors with information as required in accordance with the ASX Continuous Disclosure Policy which includes identifying matters that may have a material effect on the price of the Company’s securities and notifying them to the ASX.

The board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the consolidated entity’s strategy and goals. Important issues are presented to the shareholders as single resolutions.

Annual Report 2007

Notes To The Financial Statements

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers the economic entity of ASF Group Limited and controlled entities, and ASF Group Limited as an individual parent entity. ASF Group Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of ASF Group Limited and controlled entities, and ASF Group Limited as an individual parent entity comply with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Consolidated group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.

Reporting Basis and Conversions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The net loss after income tax for the consolidated entity for the financial year ended 30 June 2007 was $1,541,413 (2006: $2,643,947 profit).

The Directors nevertheless believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis because:-

  • a) included in the current liabilities is an amount owed to Goldchoice Investment Limited of $1 million which matures on 30 September 2007 under a Convertible Loan Facility established in 1 July 2006. Goldchoice has given notice that it intends to convert all of the outstanding loan to equity in the Company based on the issue price set by the Facility of 0.75 cent per share.

  • b) the ability to meet operating expenditure is also dependent upon the success of the capital raising currently being undertaken and future fundraising or the company business opportunities generating positive cash flows.

In the event that the consolidated entity is unable to raise sufficient funds there is a significant uncertainty whether it will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether the Company and the consolidated entity can realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities at the amounts stated in the statement of balance sheet. In this situation, the going concern basis would not be appropriate.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity ASF Group Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 13 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included/ excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

Minority equity interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

��

Notes To The Financial Statements

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUEd)

(c) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

  • (d) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the first in first out method. Net realisable value is determined by reference to the sales proceeds of items sold in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the balance sheet date or to management estimates based on prevailing market conditions.

(e) Plant and Equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment – Diminishing value 37.5%
Leasehold improvements 37.5%
Assets in MYTA
Furniture, fixtures and Office Equipment-prime cost 10% to 20%
Motor vehicles – prime cost 12% to 20%

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUEd)

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(f)

Exploration and development Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(g)

Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the economic entity, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

(h) Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Notes To The Financial Statements

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUEd)

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities

Non derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair-value are taken directly to equity.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financal instruments, a prolongued decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an inpairment has arisen impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

(i) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(j) Investments in Associates

Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognised group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.

(k) Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

(l) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Notes To The Financial Statements

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUEd)

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(m)

Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(n) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(o) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(p) Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from investment properties is recognised on an accruals basis or straight-line basis in accordance with lease agreements.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(q) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

Notes To The Financial Statements

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUEd)

(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

  • (s) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis.

  • (t) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

  • (u) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates - impairment

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying value of tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amounts of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

When the Company purchased the exploration licences ELs 04/1435; 04/1436; 04/1428; 04/1433 and 04/1434 the minimum annual exploration expenditure requirements had not been met. The Directors believe that the Company will retain title to these Exploration Licenses. Accordingly, the Board has committed to provide the Department of Industry and Resources Western Australia with a submission detailing planned work programs and expenditure for the next 12 months in order to satisfy the expenditure shortfalls incurred. The expected penalties will be 10% of the expenditure shortfall.

The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculation use cash flow projections on financial budgets approved by management covering a five years period with the period extending beyond five years extrapolated using a terminal value of the year’s cash flow projections. In performing the value-in-use calculations, the economic entity has applied post-tax discount rate of 25% to discount the forecast future attributable post tax cash flow. The cash flows are based on budgets for each cash generating unit. These budgets use historical growth rates to project revenue between 10 - 20%. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the period. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular cash generating unit.
