The Eromanga Uranium IPO was completed successfully with the company listing on the ASX on the 31 October 2006. The Directors of the company were very pleased with the broad support for the Eromanga IPO not only from shareholders of Maximus Resources Ltd and Flinders Diamonds Ltd but across the wider investment community. The IPO raised \$14.75 million.

Eromanga initiated exploration with the completion, on 24 December, of a 4000 line/km airborne electromagnetic survey over the entire Marree Project. This survey utilised the new REPTEM system and has provided high quality data for use in the definition of buried palaeodrainages that are potential sites for roll-front style uranium deposits. This data will undergo computer processing/enhancement/modelling before drill targets are selected for testing during the first quarter of 2007. Aboriginal heritage site clearance surveys were completed at Billa Kalina and will allow drilling to commence as soon as a suitable drill rig is available.

The company has established itself in new offices in Norwood SA and has made excellent progress with the recruitment of key personnel and the acquisition of essential items of plant and equipment.

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, Grant Thornton, to provide the directors of Eromanga Uranium Limited with an Independence Declaration in relation to the review of the half-year financial report. This Independence Declaration is made on the following page.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EROMANGA URANIUM LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITY

Scope

Report on the financial report

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Eromanga Uranium Ltd and Controlled Entity, which comprises the consolidated interim balance sheet as at 31 December 2006, the income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration.

Directors' responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors' of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the interim 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.

Auditors' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial report in not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. As the auditor of Eromanga Uranium Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of Eromanga Uranium Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as i. at 31 December 2006 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date: and
  • ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
