DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Rawang Gadang Iron Ore Project

A Ground Magnetic Survey was accomplished during the year. The program covered the area previously drilled and was designed to examine the extensions of known mineralisation. The survey was very successful in delineating the recognised mineralisation and a 350m extension of the Iron mineralisation to the South-East, to the limit of the survey. However, no field activities were carried out at Rawang Gadang. This project is still under the company’s assessment. The exploration KP lapsed in the last quarter of the year and the company will consider re-applying for it in the event that the proposed AGAM Iron Sands JV does not proceed.

Inderapura Coal Project Area

With Grange Resources Limited no longer participating in the Joint Venture (JV), the results of the due diligence work were analytically assessed. Grange Resources Ltd has indicated that the production potential for the Inderapura Coal is suitable for domestic consumption by Indonesian or other South East Asian cement manufacturers. The Company will now analyse all compiled data and explore the possibility of defining resources to supply the local cement factory in Padang City at Western Sumatra. The Exploration KP lapsed in the last quarter of the year and the company will consider re-applying for it in the event that the proposed AGAM Iron Sands does not proceed.

Singkarak Copper-Gold Project

An intensive soil sampling and geological mapping program was completed at Singkarak Project over the Pasilihan area, as an adjunct to the previous geological due diligence work. Soil samples were collected on a 100m x 25m grid which was corrected for topography. Soil samples collected from the “C” horizon have been sent to Intertek / Caleb Brett in Jakarta for analysis for Gold and other elements. Duplicate samples were taken at regular intervals to confirm QAQC.

The soil sampling program was highly encouraging. Soil geochemistry shows a distinct anomalous multielement (Cu-Au-Pb-Sb-Mo) NNE trend generally concurrent with Silica/Clay/Sulphide alteration zones which was mapped in the field. The anomalous area is over 1km long and 250m wide, and is still open to the South. The altered zone gradually subsided towards the North under much younger superimposed rocks of the Ombilin Formation. Copper forms a distinctive Bulls Eye style anomaly greater than 500ppm with about a 300m long and 150m wide area inside the broader anomalous trend. Gold anomaly distribution is more sporadic than Copper. Nevertheless, at 100ppb level, Gold forms coherent anomalies coincident with the other assayed elements. Furthermore, in various soil samples Gold reached 1.26ppm. Final JV arrangements for the Singkarak Project are still under negotiation with the Indonesian partners.

Landas Paeu Coal Project

The Company signed a Heads of Agreement with Pt Persadatama Agung Lestari (“PT PAL”) to form a JV to explore the Landas Paeu Coal area, located in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Project area comprises 3,940Ha and mineral property located in West Kutai Regency at the Province of East Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Indonesia. The mineral property is prospective for thermal coal, having been previously explored for coal by PT PAL and other Indonesian companies. This exploration has identified a package of 12 coal seams attributed to the Oligocene Warukin Formation over a strike-length of 4.2Km. Warukin Formation Coal is being mined in several locations in South and East Kalimantan and has gained a reputation as a low sulphur and low ash “enviro-coal”. Individual seams at the Landas Paeu Coal Project reach a maximum thickness of 13.45m in limited historical drill intercepts. Based on the above, due diligence is ongoing. Analysis of representative coal seam samples shows coal quality parameters meet current export standards for thermal coal.

Previous work in the prospect locale includes outcrop mapping, sampling and shallow diamond drilling. The earlier diamond drilling program was carried out unsystematically.

Under the terms of the Head of Agreement (“Agreement”), Coziron paid PT PAL a consideration of USD$50,000 on the signing of the Agreement in October 2007. The agreement entitles Coziron to acquire 70% of the coal project for a consideration of USD$1 million, half of which is payable in cash, the balance in Coziron shares subject to due diligence. PT PAL will also be entitled to a USD$1 royalty per ton of coal sold from the project. The Agreement is subject to a number of conditions including due diligence and site inspections to the satisfaction of Coziron. In the event that all the conditions are satisfied, Coziron will sign a formal JV with PT PAL.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Coziron believes that the project area is highly prospective for thermal coal and that there is significant potential to delineate a sizeable, potentially economic resource. The Company plans to carry out geological mapping, topographic surveys and systematic resource definition drilling to further advance the project. This project is still under the company’s assessment.

Ethanol Plant Project in Malaysia

On 30 October 2007 a Heads of Agreement was entered to acquire a 60,000 Litres/day ethanol plant with Empee Biofuels Sdn Bhd. However subsequently the Company decided not to proceed, as the directors foresaw major complications with the project that may not have been in the interest of the shareholders.

Kunyit Iron Ore Project, Lubuk Gadang Lead Zinc Project and Bukit Bara Lunang Coal Project

The company decided to write off the above projects in the third quarter of the year due to unfavourable resource content and in the company’s view it is not viable to continue exploring these tenements.

Lead Trading , Exploration and Mining – Indonesian Project

In February 2008 the Company entered into a Heads of Agreement to Joint Venture with PT Galian Endapan Buana ( “GEB” ), on an 80:20 basis, (CZR 80% GEB 20% ) with GEB’s interest to be a free carried interest, in respect of a Lead Trading, Exploration and Mining venture in Indonesia.

GEB was awarded the requisite Lead export licence by the West Sumatra Government on 12 February 2008.

Citic International have recently visited our lead site and warehouse in Indonesia. After checking our lead ore inventory, they are of the opinion that the grade of the lead is not up to their specification on dry basis of 50%. Therefore the trial shipment of 500 ton lead ore did not eventuate. However, they are interested in being involved with the company to beneficiate the lead ore to concentrate due to the fact that product grade is guaranteed and concentrate price is tied to the market price of lead at the London Metal Exchange. The supply of low grade lead ore is easily available in Sumatera. In addition, field observation and surface mapping against river and hill traverse outcrop around the galena zone was carried out at the company tenement at Solok Selatan which shows promising indications of the existence of galena and galena veins. If a resource is proven, it will ensure a consistent supply of raw input for the beneficiating plant. The company is also in discussions with Hunan Guiying Yinxing Non-ferrous Smelt Co Ltd and other interested parties to fund and set up the lead beneficiating plant. With the lead price dropping from the high of mid $3,000 in February to about $2,000 currently, beneficiating lead concentrate to add value will be a good option.

AGAM Iron Sands project

During the year the company signed a heads of agreement to joint venture (on an 80:20 basis) with GEB to develop the AGAM Iron Sand Project in West Sumatra. GEB has an exploration licence on a tenement at AGAM with an area of 3,960 hectares. Furthermore, an application for mining and export licences was lodged with the Indonesian authorities and the company is awaiting their approval.

An extensive mapping geology program was carried out at AGAM tenement followed by a shallow drilling program to intercept the Iron Sands Layers. Initially, a three inch diameter hand auger program commenced the drilling program to establish the Iron Sands locations for the Test Pits drilling. Then the exploration program entered its second phase with the digging of 20 test pits using an excavator to identify the thickness of the Mineralised Iron Sands Layers. The 20 test pits (‘holes’) varied in depth, but generally were between 3 – 4 m deep with an average diameter of 2m. On-the-spot elemental analysis was carried out to determine the iron sands percentage at the mineralised zones. For this purpose an “Innov-X” portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyser was used at each intercepted Iron Sands Layer at all 20 test pits.

The Agam Iron Sands project will be explored further and requires further drilling to identify the limits of mineralisation zones. The 8,000m Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling program has to be implemented within the next few months to enhance mining opportunities. An accurate sampling and assaying program will be undertaken by Promet Engineers providing the metallurgical testwork and samples will be tested at the ALS Laboratory Group in Perth , Western Australia.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Since the end of the financial year, the company has engaged an Indonesian Geophysics company “CV Billanda Utama” in August 2008 to undertake the Ground Electro Magnetic Survey at the two iron sand tenements in AGAM. Thereafter, an in-depth exploration program to fully comprehend the quality and quantity of AGAM Iron Sands mineralisation will be carried out. The company has recently received an Independent Geological Assessment of the project from Ravensgate, minerals industry consultants.

The company has also engaged ProMet Engineers to provide a Preliminary Sighter Testwork prior to the Metallurgical Testwork program for the AGAM Iron Sand project. The intent of the Sighter Testwork is to establish sufficient information to offer recommendations on how to beneficiate the iron sands to marketable grade.

The company has sent a representative sample of 18kg to ProMet Engineers collected from the AGAM site for this purpose. The test is to be conducted at ALS laboratories and will include a Davis Tube Wash, which is utilised to establish a concentrate. This material will then be analysed by XRF to establish the grade ( 5 size fractions ) of the iron sands.

In September 2008, the Company entered into two JV agreements with GEB which are subject to completion of legal due diligence, one for the exploration of iron sands and the other for the exploration of lead. The JV agreements confirm the terms and conditions specified in the Heads of Agreements.

Project Generation

In addition to the company’s active Asian exploration project work undertaken during the period, the Company has been considering several prospective exploration project proposals, both domestically in Australia and overseas.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Economic Entity occurred during the financial year:

On 15 August 2007, Mr George Lazarou resigned as a director and company secretary. On the same day Mr Ah Aun Ong was appointed as company secretary in Mr George Lazarou’s place. He subsequently resigned as company secretary on 20 November 2007 and Mr Timothy John Spooner was appointed as company secretary in his place. On 7 September 2007, Mr Gregory Burns resigned as a director and Mr Sai Kwok Miu was appointed a director.

On 12 March 2008, 2 million options at 20 cents were exercised by two of the directors, thereby providing $400,000 funding for the company. The funds will be utilised for the lead trading business and to source other prospective projects.

In February 2008 the Company entered into a Heads of Agreement to Joint Venture with PT Galian Endapan Buana (‘GEB’), on an 80:20 basis, (CZR 80% GEB 20%) with GEB’s interest to be a free carried interest, in respect of a Lead Trading, Exploration and Mining venture in Indonesia.

GEB was awarded the requisite lead export licence by the West Sumatra Government on 12 February 2008. Due diligence is ongoing and the Company in the process of finalising a sales contract with a Chinese company for the first shipment. The company is targeting exports of 24,000 tonnes of lead ore per annum.

The company also decided to write off Kunyit Iron Ore project, Lubuk Gadang Lead Zinc project and Batu Bara Lunang project during the year due to unfavourable resource content, and in the company’s view it is not viable to continue exploring these tenements.

Other than stated above, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year.

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Remuneration policy

The remuneration policy of Coziron Resources Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the economic entity’s financial results. The board of Coziron Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to run and manage the economic entity.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the economic entity is as follows:

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Options are valued using the BlackScholes method.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to nonexecutive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $150,000). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is set to attract and retain the most qualified and experienced directors and senior executives. The board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • Competitiveness

  • Acceptability to shareholders

  • Performance linkage

  • Capital management

Directors’ fees

A director may be paid fees or other amounts as the directors determine where a director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director. A director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties.

Bonuses

No bonuses were given to key management personnel during the 2007 and 2008 years.

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (Continued)

Performance based remuneration

The company currently has no performance-based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages given that the company is currently still in exploration phase. Therefore, all remuneration is fixed and no amount is considered at risk.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director’s and executive’s remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company believes the policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. For details of directors and executives interests in options at year end, refer Note 29 of the financial statements.

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Coziron Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2008 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2008 and covers Coziron Resources Limited as an individual entity as well as the consolidated entity consisting of Coziron Resources Limited and its subsidiaries as required by the Corporations Act 2001 .

The financial report is presented in the Australian currency.

Coziron Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporate in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes separate financial statements for Coziron Resources Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of Coziron Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of Preparation

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

Compliance with IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.

Going concern

The financial report for the consolidated group and parent entity has been prepared on a going concern basis following the directors reviewing its going concern status. The ability of the consolidated entity to pay its debts when they are due and payable is dependent upon securing additional capital to fund the operations and planned business activities of both the consolidated group and the parent entity.

The directors are confident that they will secure additional capital to fund the operations and planned business activities of both the consolidated group and parent entity. On 24 September 2008, the company announced its intention to undertake a non-renounceable rights issue of 1 share for every two shares held to raise up to approximately $2.6 million.

In addition, the Group has entered into a funding arrangement with the directors whereby $200,000 has been provided to Coziron interest free to provide working capital to assist with capital funding requirements. Coziron received $100,000 from Australian Glamour Pty Ltd (a company controlled by Richard Tan) and $100,000 from KHH Australian Holdings Pty Ltd (a company controlled by Lam Fatt Tan) by way of shortterm loans on 30 September 2008.

20

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(a) Basis of Preparation (Continued)

Going concern (continued)

The directors believe that the Group will continue as a going concern and consequently will realise assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business and at the amount stated in the financial report.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Coziron Resources Limited and its subsidiaries at 30 June each year (“the Group”). Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. Potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing control. Consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent, using consistent accounting policies.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intragroup transactions have been eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered.

Minority interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet respectively.

Subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent entity’s financial statements at cost.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Associates are accounted for in the parent entity’s financial statements at cost and the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the consolidated income statement reflects the Group’s share of associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses and the consolidated balance sheet reflects the Group’s share of post-acquisition movements in reserves or equity. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s income statement but rather reduce the carrying amount of the investment in the consolidated financial statements.

When the Group’s share of post-acquisition losses in an associate exceeds its interest in the associate (including any unsecured receivables), the Group does not recognise further losses unless it has obligations to, or has made payments, on behalf of the associate.

The financial statements of the associates are used to apply the equity method. The reporting dates of the associates and the parent are identical and both use consistent accounting policies.

(c) Business Combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued, the value of the equity instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

21

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(c) Business Combinations (Continued)

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in business combinations are initially measured at their fair values at acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer Note 2(r)). If the cost of acquisition is less than the group’s share of the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of the cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in future are discounted to present value at the date of exchange using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

(d) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional and presentation currency of Coziron Resources Limited and its subsidiaries is Australian dollars (AUD).

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settling foreign currency transactions, as well as from restating foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, are recognised in the income statement, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges or where they relate to differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

(e) Segment Reporting

A business segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is identified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

Reportable segments are only disclosed where the majority of its revenue is earned from sales to external customers and:

  • its revenue from sales to external customers and from transactions with other segments is 10 per cent or more of the total revenue, external and internal, of all segments; or

  • its segment result, whether profit or loss, is 10 per cent or more of the combined result of all segments in profit or the combined result of all segments in loss, whichever is the greater in absolute amount; or

  • • its assets are 10 per cent or more of the total assets of all segments.

Details of segments that the Group operates in are detailed in Note 4.

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(f) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. The effective interest method uses the effective interest rate which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset.

(g) Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. Exceptions are made for certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

(h) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication that individual assets are impaired. Where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amount is determined and impairment losses are recognised in the income statement where the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(j) Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised at original invoice amounts less an allowance for uncollectible amounts and have repayment terms between 30 and 90 days. Collectability of trade receivables is assessed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance is made for doubtful debts where there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms.

(k) Inventories

Raw Materials, Work in Progress and Finished Goods

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Fixed overheads are allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to inventories using the weighted average/first-infirst-out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling cost of completion and selling expenses.

(l) Investments and Other Financial Assets

All investments and other financial assets are initially stated at cost, being the fair value of consideration given plus acquisition costs. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date which is the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Accounting policies for each category of investments and other financial assets subsequent to initial recognition are set out below.

Other financial assets

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as described in Note 2(b) and in the parent entity financial statements at cost in accordance with the cost alternative permitted in separate financial statements under AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.

(m) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously amortised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and amortised in the income statement. Impairment losses amortised in the income statement on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the income statement.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(n) Fair Values

Fair values may be used for financial asset and liability measurement and well as for sundry disclosures.

Fair values for financial instruments traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices at balance sheet date. The quoted market price for financial assets is the current bid price and the quoted market price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuation techniques. Assumptions used are based on observable market prices and rates at balance date. The fair value of long-term debt instruments is determined using quoted market prices for similar instruments. Estimated discounted cash flows are used to determine fair value of the remaining financial instruments. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at balance sheet date.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the group for similar financial instruments.

(o) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which:

  • (i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of the area; or

  • (ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at balance date, reached a stage which permit a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active operations in, or relating to, the area are continuing.

Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest which are abandoned are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

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.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

(p) Property, Plant and Equipment

All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

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. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income st/atement during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

25

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(p) Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

- Buildings 25 – 40 years
- Machinery 10 – 15 years
- Vehicles 3 – 5 years
- Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 – 8 years
- Leasehold improvements 10 years
- Leased plant and equipment 10 – 15 years

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 (Note 2(h)).

Gains and losses on disposals are calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the asset’s carrying amount and are included in the income statement in the year that the item is derecognised.

(q) Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases and capitalised at inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property, or if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the net asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

When assets are leased out under finance leases, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a lease receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the lease term using the net investment method which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

Lease income from operating leases is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying value of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same bases as the lease income.

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(r) Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is not amortised but is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the goodwill relates. Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed.

(s) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the year end and which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and have 30-60 day payment terms.

(t) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. For service warranties, the likelihood than an outflow will be required to settle the obligation is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(u) Employee Benefit Provisions

Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave are recognised in respect of employees’ services rendered up to balance sheet date and measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. Liabilities for wages and salaries are included as part of Other Payables and liabilities for annual sick leave are included as part of Employee Benefit Provisions.

Long Service Leave

Liabilities for long service leave are recognised as part of the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees to the balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future salaries and wages levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using national government bond rates at balance sheet date with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

(v) Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options associated with the acquisition of a business are included as part of the purchase consideration.

(w) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share

Earnings used to calculate diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the basic earnings by the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares. The weighted average number of shares used is adjusted for the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(x) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses are recognised net of GST except where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(y) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2008 reporting periods. The Group’s and the parent entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8

AASB 8 and AASB 2007-3 are effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. AASB 8 will result in a significant change in the approach to segment reporting, as it requires adoption of a 'management approach' to reporting on financial performance. The information being reported will be based on what the key decision makers use internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments. The Group has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 8. Application of AASB 8 may result in different segments, segment results and different types of information being reported in the segment note of the financial report. However, at this stage, it is not expected to affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(y) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations (Continued)

Revised AASB 123 Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116 & AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 & 12]

The revised AASB 123 is applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. It has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and - when adopted - will require the capitalisation of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. There will be no impact on the financial report of the Group, as the Group already capitalises borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets.

AASB-I 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their

Interaction

AASB-I 14 will be effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2008. It provides guidance on the maximum amount that may be recognised as an asset in relation to a defined benefit plan and the impact of minimum funding requirements on such an asset. None of the Group's defined benefit plans are subject to minimum funding requirements and none of them is in a surplus position. The Group will apply AASB-I 14 from 1 July 2008, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Group's financial statements.

Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 2007-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101

A revised AASB 101 was issued in September 2007 and is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. It requires the presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and makes changes to the statement of changes in equity, but will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or has reclassified items in the financial statements, it will need to disclose a third balance sheet (statement of financial position), this one being as at the beginning of the comparative period. The Group intends to apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009.

Revised AASB 3 Business Combinations

The revised AASB is applicable to the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. The standard introduces more detailed guidance for accounting for acquisition. Adoption of the standard will affect amounts recognised in the financial statements of the Group in the circumstances applied.

The nature of some of the changes in the revised standard may in future periods negatively impact business combinations the Group undertakes. The effect of the nature of the impacts is not considered material.

3. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no estimates, assumptions or judgments that are expected to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, except for the following:

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in or relating to, the area of interest are continuing.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

Description of segments

The Group’s primary reporting format is geographical segments and its secondary reporting format is business segments. Although the consolidated entity’s divisions are managed in Australia they operate in one geographical area, being Indonesia. In addition the Group mainly operates in one industry, being mineral exploration. No segmental information has been disclosed as the majority of the Group’s revenue is from interest income.

8. CORRECTION OF ERRORS, REVISION OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND VARIATION FROM PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT

Correction of error relating to investments in associates not accounted for using the equity method in previous financial year

On 1 March 2007, Coziron Resources purchased an interest in its associate, Integrated Rubber Industries Limited (refer to Note 19), which was accounted for at cost instead of the equity method. As a result the consolidated loss was understated by $8,642. The consolidated entity’s share in the associate’s debit reserves was understated by $5,130. The error also had the effect of overstating the investments in associates and consequently the total assets of the consolidated group by $13,772.

The error has been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the previous year.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the previous year have also been restated.

Unlisted $ $
Integrated Rubber Industries Rubber processing, saw milling, 15.34% 15.95%
Limited plantation activities and investment

On 1 March 2007, Coziron Resources Limited purchased 5,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Integrated Rubber Industries Limited (‘Integrated’) for $100,000, acquiring an interest of 20.16%. Coziron Resources has not changed its shareholdings in Integrated since that date. Integrated is an Australian unlisted public company, which intends to list on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Since acquiring its interest in Integrated, Coziron’s percentage interest has decreased due to further issues of fully paid ordinary shares by the associate, as shown above. Although Coziron’s interest in Integrated is now less than 20% Integrated is still considered an associate as the directors of Coziron are also the directors of Integrated, thereby exerting significant influence.

As reflected above, the company has ceased exploration of certain mining tenements and has therefore written off the capitalised expenditure relating to these tenements.

Exploration costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development or sale 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.

In addition, the group has material mining exploration rights in Indonesia which are the subject of contractual requirements to undertake continuous work throughout the period. The group has received correspondence for the local Indonesian mining authorities and the Directors are reviewing all the group’s rights to explore, to determine if projects are economically viable and should be maintained. If the directors believe that the projects are not viable to continue exploring these tenements, this will result in a write off of the existing exploration assets in the next period.

Annual leave and long service leave amounts payable represent amounts known to be payable within the next 12 months because employees are expected to take their leave due during this period. In addition, the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave within the next 12 months.

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) General objectives, policies and processes

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Group. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the period under review, it has been the Group’s policy not to trade in financial instruments

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk and credit risk. There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies. The Groups' risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material.

The overall objective of the Board is to set polices that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:

(b) Market Risk

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk).

(i) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Group does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal.

Group and parent entity sensitivity

At 30 June 2008, if interest had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the year would have been $6,900 lower/higher (2007 – change of 100 basis points; $19,500 lower/higher), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents. The group’s interest income from both financial years comes solely from the parent entity.

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

(c) Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted. If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The compliance with credit limits by wholesale customers is regularly monitored by line management. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

(d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments, e.g. borrowing repayments. It is the policies of the Board of Directors that treasury maintain adequate committed credit facilities and the ability to close-out market positions.

The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group maintains sufficient levels of cash to meet its working capital requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities of a reasonable level to its overall debt. The Group does not have any overdraft, loans or borrowings facilities from financial institutions as at balance sheet date. The only balances that are due to be paid within the next three months is $57,728 (2007: $24,183) for both consolidated and parent entities.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The same applies to the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents.

  • In September 2008, the Group entered into two joint venture (‘JV’) agreements with PT Galian Endapan Buana (‘GEB’) for the exploration of lead and iron sands, which are subject to completion of legal due diligence. The heads of agreement for both JVs have been signed, and the initial payments for US$40,000 (for lead) and US$25,000 (for iron sands) have been affected representing 50% of the total amount payable under each agreement. The amount reflected above is the remaining 50% payable under each agreement which has been translated at the closing rate of AUD 1 = USD 0.9626.

In addition, the JV agreement requires that upon the execution of deed of assignment for the exploration of lead, Coziron is to issue a total of 3,000,000 shares and 3,000,000 options (exercisable at 30 cents per share within two years) to GEB, whilst a further 2,000,000 shares is to be issued to GEB upon the delivery of the first shipment of iron sands.

Thereafter, an indepth exploration program to fully comprehend the quality and quantity of AGAM Iron Sands mineralisation will be carried out. The company has recently received an Independent Geological Assessment of the project from Ravensgate, minerals industry consultants.

In September 2008, the company announced its intention to undertake a non-renounceable rights issue of 1 share for every two shares held to raise up to approximately $2.6 million. This amount is not underwritten.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Coziron Resources Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Coziron Resources Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2008, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the 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. In Note 2(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

BDO Kendalls is a national association of separate partnerships and entities

51

==> picture [143 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Basis for Qualified Auditor’s Opinion

The group has an investment in Integrated Rubber Industries Limited which is carried in the parent entity accounts at cost being $100,000 and is carried in the consolidated accounts as an investment in associate at $25,872. On consolidation the group has recognised its share of the associate’s foreign currency translation reserve which equated to ($54,586) and share of associate’s losses of ($10,900).

The audit of Integrated Rubber Industries Limited for the year ended 30[th] June 2008 including the restatement of the opening balance has not been completed and accordingly, the company has been unable to undertake testing for impairment of the investment in associate in accordance with AASB 136 “Impairment of Assets” and has been unable to correctly account for the investment in associate in accordance with AASB 128 “Investments in Associates” using the equity method of accounting.

Due to the limitation of audited financial records of Integrated Rubber Industries Limited, we have been unable to perform sufficient and appropriate audit procedures in relation to the valuation of the investment or the accounting for investments in associates and our audit opinion is qualified on these matters.

Qualified Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effect on the financial statements of the matter referred to in the qualification paragraph, if any,:

  • (a) the financial report of Coziron Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the company’s and the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2008 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(a).

Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(a) in the financial report. The consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $4,100,491 during the year ended 30 June 2008 and incurred operating cash outflow of $1,034,414. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2(a), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s and the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore whether they will realize their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at amounts stated in the financial report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2008. The directors of the company and the consolidated entity are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
