Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless indicated otherwise.

The Company does not have an Audit Committee. The role of the Audit Committee has been assumed by the full Board. The size and nature of the Company’s activities does not justify the establishment a committee at this time.

Company Secretary

Paul A. Crawford held the position of company secretary at the end of the financial year. Mr Crawford is a CPA and holds the following qualifications: Bachelor of Business – Accountancy; Master of Financial Management; Graduate Diploma in Business Law; Graduate Diploma in Company Secretarial Practice. Mr Crawford has been company secretary and a director of DiamonEx Limited since its incorporation in 2000.

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the economic entity in the course of the year were:

  • mineral exploration;

  • commencement of development of the Lerala Diamond Mine.

The significant change in business activity arose following the granting of the mining licence by the Botswana Government for the Lerala Diamond Mine tenements. This enabled the company to move from exploration phase to development phase on the relevant tenements. It is anticipated that the construction phase will complete in calendar year 2007, with the company moving through the commissioning phase and into full production early in calendar year 2008.

DIAMONEX LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 26 091 951 978

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Review of Operations

The entity’s consolidated operating loss for the financial year, after applicable income tax was $2,129,881 (2006: $1,034,873). Development, exploration and evaluation expenditure during the year totalled $7,557,585 (2006: $1,580,600).

The major achievement during the year was being granted a mining licence for the Lerala Diamond Mine in September 2006, and moving into the development phase of this mine.

The Lerala Diamond Mine will process 1.32 Million tonnes per year of ore for the production of 330,000 carats per year over an 11 year mine life. Initial mining is scheduled to commence late in 2007 and diamond production is targeted for early 2008. Capital costs are estimated at $28 million (US$22 million).

While activity this year has largely centred on the Lerala Diamond Mine development, exploration can again focus on finding new diamond resources.

Financial Position

The net assets of the economic entity have increased by $6,961,812 during the year to 30 June 2007 to $12,640,418 including cash balances of $880,890. This change is primarily attributable to:

  • (i) Share issues and conversion of options raising $10,286,871; and

  • (ii) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure in relation to the Lerala Diamond Mine project and other projects.

The directors believe that the Group is in a stable financial position and is completing funding options to expand and grow through the development of the Lerala Diamond Mine project and other opportunities.

Dividends

No dividend has been proposed or paid since the start of the year.

Remuneration Report

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and if relevant, the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

The company’s remuneration policy seeks to align director and executive objectives with those of shareholders and business, while at the same time, recognising the early development stage of the company and the criticality of funds being utilised to achieve development objectives. The Board believes that the current policy has been appropriate and effective in achieving a balance of objectives.

The remuneration structure for executive officers, including executive directors, is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the company.

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

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors was developed and approved by non-executive directors. Executive directors receive a base salary, superannuation and fringe benefits, and in the current year, equity based performance remuneration. Superannuation payments consist of the 9% superannuation guarantee contribution. Individuals may elect to salary sacrifice part of their salary to increased payments towards superannuation. No other form of retirement benefit is paid.

Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company.

Formation of a remuneration committee is under review. Its role will be to review the company’s remuneration policy, remuneration levels and performance of both executive and non-executive directors. Independent external advice will be sought when required.

All options vest immediately and expire within 5 years of granting.

All options are granted for nil consideration.

In the current year the company has issued equity based performance remuneration to the executive directors, in the form of share options. This was approved by the shareholders at the 2006 Annual General Meeting. The grant of the options to the Directors is intended to act as a strong incentive to align the interests of the Directors’ with the Company's strategic plan focusing on seeking improved performance, the growth of the Company and better returns for shareholders.

In the past few years the company performance with its increased exploration base in Botswana has resulted in the identification of a proven resource of the Lerala Diamond Mine which has now moved into the development phase.

The employment conditions of the executive chairman, Mr King and the managing director, Mr O’Neill are formalised in contracts of employment. The company may terminate the contracts without cause at any time, but is required to payout the remaining term of the contract together with accrued entitlements, subject to a minimum payment of $50,000.

Termination payments are not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the case of serious misconduct, the company can terminate employment at any time.

DIAMONEX LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 26 091 951 978

Non-audit Services

The board of directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

  • All non-audit services are reviewed and approved prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • The nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and CPA Australia’s Professional Statement P1: Professional Independence.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

The financial report covers the economic entity of DiamonEx Limited and controlled entities, and DiamonEx Limited as an individual parent entity. DiamonEx Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

The financial report complies with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.

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

Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity DiamonEx Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a financial year end and accounting policies consistent with the parent entity.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

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

Income Tax

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

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

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

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

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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

Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is brought to account at cost or fair value, less where applicable, any accumulated depreciation or amortisation, and impairment losses.

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

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

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

Plant and Equipment 20% - 30% Leasehold Improvements 30%

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

An asset's carrying value is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimeated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is recognised as exploration and evaluation assets, measured on the cost basis and classified as an intangible asset. The expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that rights of tenure are current and either they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area, or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

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

DIAMONEX LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ABN 26 091 951 978

Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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. 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.

Mine Development Asset

Development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the economic entity is accumulated separately for each area of interest in which economically recoverable reserves have been identified to the satisfaction of the Directors. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate proportion of related overhead expenditure having a specific nexus with the mine development asset. Once a development decision has been taken, any deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure is transferred to Mine Development Asset in respect of the area of interest.

All expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of commercial levels of production from each development property is carried forward to the extent to which the recoupment out of revenue to be derived from the sale of production from the relevant property, or from the sale of that property, is reasonably assured.

No amortisation is provided in respect of development properties until they are reclassified following a decision to commence mining.

Restoration Costs

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

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

The economic entity currently has no obligation for any restoration costs in relation to discontinued operations, nor is it currently liable for any future restoration costs in relation to current areas of interest. Consequently, no provision for restoration has been deemed necessary.

Impairment of Assets

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

Advances to Controlled Entities

Advances by the company to controlled entities (refer to note 9) are principally contributions towards exploration and evaluation expenditure. The value and recoverability of these amounts is related to the company’s policies with regards to exploration and evaluation expenditure as described in note 1. Should the underlying asset values be insufficient to recover the advances, the amounts are reviewed for impairment.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Available for Sale Investments (Investment in Subsidiaries)

Investments in subsidiaries are recognised in the parent entity as available for sale investments and are measured on the cost basis, as the best indicator of fair value. The carrying amount of investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the underlying net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency:

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

Transaction and balances:

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

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

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

Group companies:

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

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

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

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

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

Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within 1 year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than 1 year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Equity Settled Compensation

The parent entity has issued remuneration based options to executive directors. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted.

Provisions

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 3 months, and bank overdrafts.

Reveivables

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

Payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the economic entity.

Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs (net of tax, where the deduction can be utilised) arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

Where share application monies have been received, but the shares have not been allotted, these monies are shown as a payable in the balance sheet.

Revenue

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

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

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

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Comparative Figures and Financial Period

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

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the parent entity, 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 any bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments 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 economic entity.

Key estimates – Impairment

The economic entity assess impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the economic entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where and 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.

No impairment of assets has been identified for the year ended 30 June 2007.

Key Estimates – Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure, and Mine Development Asset

The economic entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the economic entity that may lead to impairment of these assets. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area, or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Key Judgements – Carry-forward of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure, and Mine Development Asset

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.

NOTE 5: KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL COMPENSATION & EQUITY

The names of key management personnel of the economic entity who have held office during the financial year are:

Key Management Person Position

Gregory M. King Chairman - Executive Dennis C. O'Neill Managing Director - Executive Paul A. Crawford Director - Non-Executive David N. Magang Director - Non-Executive Donald J. Duncan Director - Non-Executive Shay N. Chong Director - Non-Executive (resigned 15 March 2007) Paul Chong Alternate Director for S N Chong (resigned 15 March 2007) Mark Coetzee Project Manager - DiamonEx (Botswana) Limited Michael Whillier Group Financial Controller (appointed 26 February 2007)

(a) Policy

The economic entity’s policy for determining the nature and amount of compensation of key management is as follows:

The compensation structure for key management personnel is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, relevant employment market conditions and overall performance of the company. The managing director and executive chairman also received performance based remuneration in the year by way of share options.

All executives are employed on standard commercially based salary arrangements with a standard requirement of a 1 month notice period for termination of service.

The company may terminate the managing director's and executive chairman's contract without cause by giving 3 months notice. If terminated without cause, the managing director and executive chairman is entitled to payment of accrued entitlements, together with the payout of the remaining term of the contract, subject to a minimum payment of $50,000. Termination payments are not payable on resignation or serious misconduct. In the case of serious misconduct the company can terminate employment at any time.

Company policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at relevant market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

The non-executive directors of the company determine the level of total compensation for each key management personnel. Compensation, other than the grant of options, may be in the form of cash, non-cash benefits or superannuation.

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. At shareholders' meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Effective 1 July 1998, the Corporations legislation in place abolished the concepts of authorised capital and par value shares. Accordingly, the company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares.

(a) These issues relate to conversion of options. Of the amount shown, $2,155,555 relates to the share application monies shown as payables in the 30 June 2006 financial statements.

(b) Shares issued in accordance with a shareholder resolution at the parent entity's Annual General Meeting, to Mr D Magang, a non-executive director. The issue was 500,000 shares valued at $0.32 per share, being market price at the close of trading on the day of the AGM.

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial Risk Management

The economic entity financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable.

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to provide finance for group operations.

Treasury Risk

A finance committee consisting of key management of the economic entity meet on a regular basis to analyse exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.

Financial Risks

The main risks the economic entity is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and liquidity risk. These risks are managed through monitoring of forecast cashflows, interest rates, economic conditions and ensuring adequate funds are available.

(b) Interest Rate Risk

The economic entity's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

Financial Assets:

(c) Net Fair Values

No financial assets or liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in a standardised form.

Financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values have not been written down, as the economic entity intends to hold these assets to maturity.

The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. Fair values are materially in line with carrying values.

The parent entity has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of Diamonex (Botswana) Limited under its mining licence issued by the government of Botswana. Under the guarantee, the parent entity also undertakes to indemnify the government against any losses which may arise under any failure by Diamonex (Botswana) Limited to meet its obligations.
