DIRECTORS' REPORT
Remuneration Report
The board of the Company was restructured in 2004 with the main focus being the development of its on-line gaming activities. The board have recognised the early stage of development of these activities and therefore the remuneration of its directors, including its part time Executive Chairman, have been kept below market. To date there has been no relationship between director's remuneration and the Company's earnings or performance. As such, no short term or long term incentives have been paid to directors during the financial year, directors only received salaries and fees for services provided.
It is anticipated that as the activities mature and profitability is increased that the director's remuneration will be reviewed, particularly with the changes to the board that have taken place with the Company's recent acquisition of the Tusk Group (refer to events subsequent to balance date).
The directors may obtain independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages, given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally.
The remuneration structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, and to affect the broader outcome of increasing the consolidated entity's net profit attributable to members of the parent entity.
The following table provides the details of all directors of the Company ("specified directors") and the nature and amount of the elements of their remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2006. The chairman was the only executive employee during the year ended 30 June 2006.
There are no specified executives or key employees of the consolidated entity who are not directors.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
Principal Activities
The principal activity of the consolidated entity during the financial year was online gaming with MusicHall Casino (www.musichallcasino.com) and UK Casino Club (www.ukcasino.com) held as operating entities. The Company also has an operating on-line poker room Beach Club Poker (www.beachclubpoker.com). Under current Australian regulations, online gaming activities with Australians are specifically prohibited.
Review and results of operations
Company overview & Financial Position
The 2006 financial year for the Company represented a full year of trading for the gaming assets acquired in 2005. The Gaming revenue for the year increased by 43% from \$3.4 million to \$4.9 million. The consolidated loss after income tax and amortisation for the year attributable to the members of the Company was \$769,243 (2005; loss \$101,960).
In January 2006 the Company announced that it had entered into negotiations to purchase an unlisted company and in March 2006 a contract was signed to purchase Tusk Investment Corporation (the Tusk Group) for \$19.3 million. Also in January 2006 the Company received \$364,422 from the exercising of options.
Due to the fact that the Company and the Tusk Group were advanced in negotiations to combine their gaming assets it was decided that the Company would increase the marketing and advertising spend on its gaming assets to attract new players from January 2006 to June 2006. This increase in marketing spends although positive for new players for the 2007 financial year, resulted in a greater than expected loss for the full year to 30 June 2006. However the major reason for the greater than expected loss was that the "hold" for the last 6 months to 30 June 2006 was 35% less than the first six months. Hold is how much the casino retains from player's wins and losses, Hence the Company believes that the combining of the gaming assets of Global Approach Limited and the Tusk Group will help to alleviate this gaming hold volatility in the coming years.
The transition of combining the Company and the Tusk Group on 1 July 2006 went extremely smoothly and the Company is now seeing the benefit of operating as one Company.
Going forward the Company is looking at expanding both its My Poker Profit client base and casino player base. As part of this strategy the Company's senior staff travel the world meeting clients and looking for new gaming opportunities.
In June 2006 the Company launched its first foreign language casino, i-Bigcasino.com, in Japanese. The Japanese casino is seen as a long term investment and the Company considers the Asian market as a region for future expansion. Australia is perfectly placed for an Asian expansion because of its access to Japanese speaking staff and the fact we are in similar time zones.
Significant changes in state of affairs
During the year there were no significant changes in the state of affairs.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Future developments, prospects and business developments
With the acquisition of the Tusk Group (refer to events subsequent to balance date). Global Approach Limited has created the critical mass through a broader player base needed to smooth the volatility inherent in the casino business and will allow the Company to greatly expand its leverage to the online poker boom.
The consolidated entity will continue to pursue its policy of increasing the profitability and market share of its online casino and poker room interests during the next financial year. Other business and investment opportunities which may become available to the Company will be investigated.
Further information about likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.
Events subsequent to balance date
Effective on 1 July 2006 the Company entered into a business combination whereby it acquired 100% of the issued capital in Tusk Investment Corporation (the Tusk Group) for \$19.3 million. Consideration for the acquisition was in the form of 155,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Global Approach Limited at an issue price of 12.5 cents per share issued to the shareholders of the Tusk Group. Under AASB 3 (for accounting purposes) the business combination will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
The ultimate fair value of net assets acquired and resulting goodwill are not able to be determined at the date of this report as completion adjustments are yet to be finalised. Management accounts from the Tusk Group show a net asset deficiency of \$313,000 as at the date of acquisition, resulting in likely intangibles on consolidation of \$18,800,000.
As part of the acquisition, shareholder approval was passed for the proposed issue of 10,000,000 options for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, exercisable once certain incentive hurdles are met. These options are exercisable at \$0.15 per share on or before 2 years from the date of their issue. No options were issued under this scheme.
Non-audit services
There were no amounts paid or are payable for non-audit services provided by PKF Sydney for the financial year. PKF Brisbane, an associated firm with PKF Sydney for the year, was engaged to provide taxation services.
Auditor's independence declaration
The Auditors Independence Declaration for the year ended 30 June 2006 has been received and can be found on page 11 of the financial report.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors
The Company has not, during or since the end of the previous financial year, in respect of any person who is or has been an officer of the Company, or related body corporate, indemnified or made any relevant agreement for indemnifying against a liability incurred as an officer, including costs and expenses in successfully defending legal proceedings.
Since the end of the previous financial year, the Company has not paid premiums in respect of directors' and officers' liability and legal expenses insurance contracts, for current and former directors and officers, including executive officers of the Company and directors, executive officers and secretaries of its controlled entities.

$c$ Significant judgement and key assumptions
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.
The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined, Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. Details of the Impairment disclosures and key estimates are set out in Note 13 of the Financial Report.
$\boldsymbol{d}$ Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal operating activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
At 30 June 2006, the Company has net tangible assets of \$25,060 (2005; net tangible liabilities \$120,960). For the year ended 30 June 2006 the Company incurred an operating loss of \$769,243 (2005: loss of \$101,960) and the net cash outflow from operating activities amounted to \$260,353 (2005: net cash outflow of \$363,391) which has been mitigated by proceeds received from the issue of shares and the realisation of secured debts resulting in a positive net increase in cash and cash equivalents of \$79,663 (2005: net decrease of \$75,928).
GLOBAL APPROACH LIMITED A CN 009 118 861 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
$2.$ SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
$\boldsymbol{d}$ Going concern (Continued)
The directors believe the Company will be able to meet all obligations as and when they become due and payable based on the following factors:
- The directors have prepared cash flow projections that indicate that provided the casino operations meet their expectations, the Company will be able to meet all liabilities as and when they become due and payable. The directors believe that the acquisition of the Tusk Group will improve the cash flow and financial position of the Company as a result of increasing its on-line casinos from two to six and poker sites from one to eleven. Refer to Note 30 for further details of the acquisition of the Tusk Group effective from 1 July 2006.
- An undertaking has been received in writing from a major shareholder of the Company to provide additional funds to assist in meeting its financial commitments if required.
If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may not realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
$e)$ Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and no longer controlled by the entity. A financial liability is removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Upon initial recognition a financial asset or financial liability is designated as at fair value through profit or loss except for investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.
A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability (classified as at fair value) is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets not measured at fair value comprise loans and receivables. These are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets include other financial assets, comprising investments in subsidiaries, 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.

$2.$ SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial assets and liabilities (Continued) $e)$
Financial liabilities comprise of player purse, trade and other payables, provisions and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus cumulative amortisation of any difference between the initial amount and maturity amount and minus any write-down for impairment or uncollectibility.
$\boldsymbol{f}$ Consolidation Policy
The consolidated financial report comprises the accounts of Global Approach Limited and all of its controlled entities. A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Global Approach Limited. Control exists where Global Approach Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Global Approach Limited to achieve the objectives of Global Approach Limited. A list of controlled entities is disclosed in Note 27 to the financial statements.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profit or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
$g)$ Revenue recognition
$(i)$ Gaming revenue
Casino revenue is recognised when the results of a game have been determined and when the revenue can be reliably determined. Poker revenue represents the commission due to the Company, and rebate and tournament entry fees where the player has concluded his participation in the tournament.
$(ii)$ Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
$\overline{2}$ . SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
$h)$ Taxation
Income taxes are accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method whereby:
- the tax consequences of recovering (settling) all assets (liabilities) are reflected in the financial $\bullet$ statement
- current and deferred tax is recognised as income or expense except to the extent that the tax relates to equity items or to a business combination;
- a deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be $\bullet$ available to realise the asset;
- deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period $\bullet$ when the asset is realised or the liability settled.
Tax Consolidation
The Company and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidated group under Australian taxation law. The Company is the head entity.
The Company as head entity is responsible for recognising only the current tax assets and liabilities and related franking credits of the tax consolidated group whilst deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised by each company member.

$\dot{i}$ Intangibles
Sub-licence
Intangible Assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost and from a business combination are capitalised at fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets.
The useful lives of these intangibles are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.
All items that have been classified as having an indefinite life will be impairment tested annually in accordance with the standards. All items classified as finite lived assets will be amortised over the useful life of the asset and subject to impairment testing.
Regardless of the useful life classification the directors must assess at the end of each reporting period the classification, subsequent method employed and amortisation rates used to ensure appropriateness.
The entity's intangibles comprises of Gaming sub-licenses. The economic entity has assessed the finite lives of the sub-licences to be 25 years and will continue to amortise these assets on a straight-line basis over 25 years.
Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is recognised as an asset and not amortised, but tested for impairment annually. Any impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement.
$i)$ Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of 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. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate.
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.

$2.$ SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
$\boldsymbol{k}$ Investments
Controlled entities
Investments in controlled entities are carried in the Company's financial statements at the lower of cost and recoverable amount. Dividends and distributions are brought to account in the Income Statement when they are declared by the controlled entities.
Other entities
Shares in listed companies held for resale within 12 months are classified as current assets and are valued by the directors at the market value of those shares as stated on the relevant stock exchange at balance date. The gains or losses, whether realised or unrealised, are included in the operating profit before tax.
Investments in other listed and unlisted companies held as long-term investments and classified as non-current assets are carried at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.
Dividends are brought to account when the Company's entitlement to the dividend is determined.
$\boldsymbol{l}$ Translation of foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies on initial recognition in the functional currency are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
At each balance sheet date:
- (a) foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate;
- (b) non-monetary items which are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and
- (c) non-monetary items which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially translated during the period, or in previous financial statements, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, with the exception of exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the net investment in a foreign operation which are recognised initially in a separate component of equity and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

$2.$ SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Translation of the Financial Statements of Foreign Operations $\boldsymbol{m}$
The entity's foreign operations consist of Global Approach Operations Pty Ltd (owner of Music Hall Casino) and UK Club Holdings Pty Ltd (owner of UK Casino Club). Both the online casino businesses operate worldwide, excluding Australia, with the operations predominantly in United States dollars. Hence the functional currency of these overseas operations is United States dollars.
The following procedures are used in translating the results and financial position of these entities from their functional currency to the presentation currency:
- (a) assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the balance sheet date;
- (b) income and expense items at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and
- (c) all resulting exchange differences recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.
$n)$ Employee benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to reporting date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the consolidated entity expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as, workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. There are no known present obligations to employees.
Long service leave
The provision for employee benefits to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from employees' services provided up to balance date.
The provision is calculated using estimated future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on turnover history and is discounted using the rates attaching to national government securities at balance date which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. The unwinding of the discount is treated as long service leave expense.
Superannuation plan
The Company and controlled entities contribute to a defined contribution superannuation plan. Contributions are charged against income as they are made.
During the year there was 1 employee other than directors (2005: 1 employee).

$\overline{2}$ . SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
$\boldsymbol{\theta}$ Contingent liabilities
A contingent loss is recognised as an expense and a liability if it is probable that future events will confirm that, after taking into account any related probable recovery, an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred and, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the resulting loss can be made.
$\boldsymbol{p}$ Events after balance sheet date
Assets and liabilities are adjusted for events occurring after the balance date that provide evidence of conditions existing at the balance date. Important after balance date events which do not meet these criteria are disclosed in Note 30 to the financial statements.
$q$ Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise:
- cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts; $(i)$
- $(ii)$ investments in money market instruments; and
- cash in transit. $(iii)$
$r$ 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 exclusive of GST.
Comparative figures $s)$
Where required by accounting standards, the reclassification of comparatives has been performed in order to conform to the changes in presentation for the current financial year.

$\overline{3}$ . RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR
Due to the initial unavailability of access to the accounting records of MusicHall Casino in the financial year ending 30 June 2004, the initial acquisition accounting entries of Global Approach Operations Pty Ltd/Music Hall Casino were based upon draft management accounts.
As a result of the initial reliance on management accounts the consolidated Income Statement for the period ending 30 June 2004 overstated the loss for the period by \$32,818.
An adjustment was processed in the half-vear period ended 31 December 2004 consolidated Income Statement as a credit to the prior year expenditure. This adjustment was not reflected in June 2004 financial statements,

An impairment loss of \$275,991 has been recognised during the current financial year by the parent entity. Global Approach Limited has amounts totalling \$946,093 receivable from a dormant wholly owned subsidiary which has insufficient net assets to extinguish the receivable. It is likely that the subsidiary will be wound up in the 2007 financial year and, as a result, the whole receivable has now been provided for.

Impairment disclosures
As gaming sub-licenses do not generate cash flows individually, they are allocated to the Company's casino cash generating unit.
The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is determined based on the value-in-use calculations. Valuein-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a 3-year period using an estimated growth rate. The cash flows are discounted at the beginning of the budget period.
The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations:
Annual revenue growth rate of $8\%$ for years 1 to 3 and a terminal growth rate of $3\%$ . Discount rate 20%
Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets. These budgets use historical weighted average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical growth margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the periods which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the Company. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with the Company.

$\boldsymbol{d}$ Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities
Valuation approach
Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined by the Company on the following bases:
Monetary financial assets and financial liabilities not readily traded in an organised financial market are determined by valuing them at the present value of contractual future cash flows on amounts due from customers (reduced for expected credit losses) or due to suppliers. Cash flows are discounted using standard valuation techniques at the applicable market yield having regard to the timing of the cash flows.
The net fair values of all other financial assets and liabilities of the Company are represented by the carrying amount of these items.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
28. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF AUSTRALIAN EOUIVALENTS TO INTERNATIONAL REPORTING STANDARDS (AIFRS)
For all periods up to and including the year ended 30 June 2005, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Australian Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (AGAAP). These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2006 are the first the Company is required to prepare in accordance with the Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS).
Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements that comply with AIFRS applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 and the significant accounting policies meeting those requirements are described in Note 2. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has started from an opening balance sheet as at 1 July 2004, the Company's date of transition to AIFRS, and made those changes in accounting policies and other restatements required by AASB 1: First time adoption of AIFRS.
This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its AGAAP balance sheet as at 1 July 2004 and its previously published AGAAP financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2005.
Exemptions applied
AASB 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the general requirement to apply AIFRS retrospectively.
The Company has taken the following exemptions:
- Comparative information for financial instruments is prepared in accordance with AGAAP and the $\bullet$ Company and group have adopted AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2005:
- AASB 3 Business Combinations has not been applied to acquisitions of subsidiaries or of interests in $\bullet$ associates and joint ventures that occurred before $1$ July 2004;
- $\bullet$ Cumulative currency translation differences for all foreign operations are deemed to be zero as at 1 July 2004: and
- The Company has not retrospectively applied the requirements of AASB121 to goodwill arising on the $\bullet$ acquisition of foreign operations and any fair value adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities arising on acquisition of foreign operations.
The following reconciliations explain how the transition from previous AGAAP to AIFRS affected reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows:
Reconciliation of total equity as presented under AGAAP to that under AIFRS
| Consolidated | Parent | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2005 | 1 July 2004 | 30 June 2005 | 1 July 2004 | |
| Total equity under AGAAP | 2,251,503 | 1,490,152 | 2,170,019 | 1,618,201 |
| Total equity under AIFRS | 2,251,503 | 1,490,152 | 2,170,019 | 1,618,201 |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
28. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF AUSTRALIAN EOUIVALENTS TO INTERNATIONAL REPORTING STANDARDS (AIFRS) (Continued)
Under AASB 121: Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, exchange differences on translation of foreign operations from its functional currency to the consolidated entity's presentation currency must be recognised in foreign currency translation reserve. Under AGAAP these exchange differences were recognised in Accumulated Losses through the Income Statement as they did not arise from self -sustaining operations (the concept of selfsustaining operations does not exist under AIFRS). This has resulted in crediting accumulated losses with an amount of \$7,874 and increasing the foreign currency translation reserve on transition. The resulting impact on equity for the year ended 30 June 2005 is \$ Nil.
There being no other impact on total equity as a result of the adoption of AIFRS.

29. LEGAL RISK
The acquisition of investments in Global Approach Operations Pty Ltd and UK Club Holdings Pty Ltd in prior periods involved the assumption of pre existing agreements with respect to the operation of the on-line gaming casinos. These agreements comprise various management agreements, gaming licence agreements, gaming sub licence agreements, software licence agreements and shareholders agreements.
Due to international cross border jurisdictional issues and the complexity of the legal arrangements, there is an increased risk that the Company may not be able to effectively enforce its rights in the event of a dispute with respect to its interests.
If the Company is unable to enforce its contractual rights, it is possible that the Company's assets with respect to these investments will not realise their carrying value. In such an event, significant losses may accrue to the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
30. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Effective on 1 July 2006 the Company entered into a business combination whereby it acquired 100% of the issued capital in Tusk Investment Corporation (the Tusk Group) for \$19.3 million. Consideration for the acquisition was in the form of 155,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Global Approach Limited at an issue price of 12.5 cents per share issued to the shareholders of the Tusk Group. Under AASB 3 (for accounting purposes) the business combination will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
The ultimate fair value of net assets acquired and resulting goodwill are not able to be determined at the date of this report as completion adjustments are yet to be finalised. Management accounts from the Tusk Group state net asset deficiency of \$313,000 as at the date of acquisition resulting in likely intangibles on consolidation of \$18,800,000.
As part of the acquisition, shareholder approval was passed for the proposed issue of 10,000,000 options for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, exercisable once certain incentive hurdles are met. These options are exercisable at \$0.15 per share on or before 2 years from the date of their issue. No options were issued under this scheme.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL APPROACH LIMITED
Scope
The financial report and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both Global Approach Limited and the consolidated entity, for the financial year ended 30 June 2006. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during the year.
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.
The company has disclosed information about the remuneration of key management personnel ("remuneration disclosures"), as required by Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures under the heading "remuneration report" in the directors' report, as permitted by the Corporations Regulations 2001. The directors are also responsible for the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors' report.
Audit approach
We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's financial position, and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows.
We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and
- assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.
