Revenue from ordinary activities relating to shareholders actually increased during the period by 8.33% 2.6 which related mainly to increased revenue from the reverse mortgage business as a result of the increasing balance of reverse mortgage loans. However, due to the new accounting standards, revenue from the benefit funds of our wholly-owned friendly society must be consolidated with the Group results. As such the overall decrease in the revenue as shown in 2.1 above, was mainly caused by the substantial reduction in unrealised gains on the benefit funds financial assets and the reduction in size of the benefit funds under management.

The net profit for the half year to 31 December 2007 was a increase of 16.66% over the corresponding period last year. This figure was in line with what was anticipated for the first half.

The main sources of revenue were from the operations of the Over Fifty Mutual Friendly Society and the Property Funds Management division. Of the other divisions, the Reverse Mortgage business has continued to grow and the loan portfolio is now approximately \$154 million. The result for the six months was however affected by two items of expense being:

    1. Expenses totalling \$1.162m were incurred prior to the contested AGM held on 28th November 2007. These are one off costs and are set out in note 2(vii) of the Notes to the Financial Statements and included costs associated with a strategic review, litigation with an executive director in relation to the strategic review, legal advice, a gratuity payment and communication costs with the company's shareholders.
  • Specific provisions totalling \$1.381m to cover the expected non recovery of mortgage advances $2.$ relating to the commercial mortgage division which is currently being wound down.

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Over Fifty Group Limited. which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2007, and the income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the Over Fifty Group Limited company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year as set out on pages 5 to 14.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies: and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Over Fifty Group Limited's financial position as at 31 December 2007 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Over Fifty Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
