Chairman’s Review

Dear Shareholders

We are pleased to announce that Refresh Group made substantial gains on two important fronts – financial position and growth.

The sale of our Perth property dramatically improved our current asset ratio. It reduced our borrowings and increased our cash to grow the business.

Despite inflationary pressures and increasing transport costs, Refresh has been able to offset this against improved operating efficiencies. Economies of scale and improved operating efficiencies have substantially reduced operating losses. These losses are expected to turn into profits over the coming years. Profitability for most operations is expected within the coming year and for all operations within 2 years. This bodes well for the future considering the strong upward swing for profitability.

Through investment in growth, we have seen a strong upward trend in revenue. This year, we achieved a revenue growth of 25%, up 3% over last year’s performance. Since listing, Refresh revenue has doubled.

Brisbane has experienced very strong growth since our acquisition of Sun Shower Springs in July 2007. In preparation for the establishment of a production facility, our Brisbane operations moved to much larger new premises. The plant is expected to be up and running by the end of 2008. Once operational, it is expected to not only provide substantial cost savings but produce additional revenue streams.

In December 2007, Refresh acquired Blackwood Gully Spring Water in Melbourne. This improved our customer density resulting in substantial reduction of losses.

Our growth is only constrained by the lack of capital. The Board is looking at options to meet this need.

The Board looked at merger and acquisition opportunities throughout the year and will continue to look for opportunities to increase shareholder value. Although this has added to costs, it has reduced significantly over previous years.

Thanks to the dedication and support of management, staff and shareholders, Refresh Group is well positioned to capitalise on this year’s growth and realise long term profitability.

Directors’ Report

(a) Review of Operations

Refresh’s objective is to expand its bottled water operations across Australia and to have production and marketing facilities in all main capital cities. It currently has factories in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Toowoomba and Kalgoorlie. It is in the process of setting up a factory in Brisbane. Having factories in multiple locations is necessary because Refresh’s primarily business is in the home and office segment of the bottled water market. With empty bottles having to be returned, being in multiple locations help cut down the cost of freight. Sales to country towns are through its wide network of distributors.

There are only 2 national bottled water companies in the home and office segment. Besides Neverfail, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola Amatil, Refresh is the only other national player.

Refresh currently supplies a few products to selected distribution centres of all three major supermarket chains. With its competitive advantage, Refresh will also appoint distributors to handle the route trade of convenience stores, cafes and delicatessens.

Refresh intends to review and fully exploit the potential of all existing products of the Company. At the same time, it will review and develop new markets and new channels of delivering its products to the discerning consumer.

Refresh is currently the largest supplier of distilled water in Australia.

(b) Results of Operations

(j) Remuneration Report (Audited)

The performance of Refresh depends upon the quality of its directors and key management personnel. To achieve success, the company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and key management personnel. To this end, the company proposes to adopt the following principles in its remuneration framework:

  • Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre key management personnel;

  • Link executive rewards to shareholder value and

  • Establish appropriate performance hurdles in relation to variable key management personnel remuneration.

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Director and Key Management Personnel Remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and key management personnel. There have been 2 methods applied in achieving this aim, the first being a performance based bonus based on key performance indicators (KPIs), and the second being the issue of options to all directors and key management to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company believes this policy to have been effective in increasing shareholder wealth over the past years.

Remuneration for all directors is determined by the Board, within the maximum amount approved by shareholders from time to time. At present, the aggregate sum is fixed at a maximum of $100,000 per annum. Superannuation is paid on director fees.

All executive directors and key management personnel receive a base salary, superannuation, fringe benefits, options and performance incentives. Performance incentive is paid upon achievement of KPIs or performance targets. The KPIs are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with key management personnel. The measures are specifically tailored to the areas each key management personnel is involved in and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas the Board believes hold greater potential for group expansion and profit, covering financial and non-financial as well as short and long term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the Group and respective industry standards.

5

Directors’ Report

(j) Remuneration Report (continued)

The company’s new remuneration policy was implemented after the listing and there is insufficient information to provide a meaningful quantitative analysis of the relationship between remuneration and company performance. In the last financial year, no performance incentive was paid because no key management personnel achieved their targets.

To align the interests of the directors and key management of Refresh, the Directors and Executives Option Scheme provides a cost-effective and efficient long-term incentive to them which is linked to the performance of the company. By rewarding executives with the issue of options, Refresh will be able to reward them without having to commit cash resources to do so. Directors and key management personnel are granted options annually. This is to motivate them to pursue the long term growth and success of the company within an appropriate control framework and demonstrate a clear relationship between key management performance and remuneration. Details of the scheme are found on Note 27 of the Financial Report.

All remuneration paid is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to key management personnel are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the key management personnel. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

Directors’ Report

(l) Indemnifying Directors and Officers

The Company has taken out a Director’s and Officer’s Liability Insurance protecting directors and officers against claims resulting from management decisions. The insurance contract prohibits disclosure of the limit of liability, the nature of liability indemnified or the premium paid.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify a director or officer of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred by such a director or officer.

(m) Non-audit Services

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

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services did not compromise the auditor independence for the following reasons:

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

  • The nature of the services provided does not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

Details of amount paid to auditors for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are disclosed in Note 26.

(n) Financial Position

The net assets of the consolidated group have decreased by $15,916 from 30 June 2007 to $4,047,422 in 2008. This decrease is caused by the losses in the company, which has reduced substantially.

The sale of our Perth property has enabled the company to reduce its borrowings by $835,151 while maintaining a healthy working capital ratio. Our working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, has improved from $760,425 in 2007 to $1,248,815 in 2008.

During the past years the company has invested in plant and equipment to secure its long-term success. The directors believe the company is in a stable financial position to expand and grow its current operations.

(o) Proceeds on Behalf of Company

No person has applied for leave of court to bring proceedings on behalf of the company or intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or any part of those proceedings.

The company was not a party to such proceedings during the year.

(p) Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The auditor’s independence declaration under section 370C is included on page 9 of the Directors’ Report.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors made pursuant to s298 (2) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Refresh Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2008 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 2 October 2008.

Refresh Group Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The Group’s principal activities are the processing and distribution of bottled water.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

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

The financial report includes the separate financial statements and notes of Refresh Group Limited as an individual parent entity and the consolidated financial statements and notes of Refresh Group Limited and its controlled entities.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below.

This financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

(b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Refresh Group Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2008 (‘the Group’). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of any entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

(c) Investment in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for postacquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments.

Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in that associate are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

REFRESH GROUP LIMITED and its controlled entities 15

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

c. Investment in associates (continued)

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of the acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of that investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where a Group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

d. Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment, including leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

The following useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Leasehold improvements 5 to 20 years Plant and equipment 5 to 20 years

e. Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

f. Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at the date of the acquisition.

Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to the other assets of the cash generating units pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the cash-generating unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss and is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of an operation within a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal of the operation.

16

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

g. Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value-in- use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of any asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

h. Employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

i. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted for as follows:

� Raw materials - purchase cost � Finished goods - cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

j. Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amounts less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

k. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand; cash in bank and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

17

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

l. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

m. Share-based payment transactions

Share-based payments are provided to directors and employees of the Group whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares.

There are currently two plans in place to provide these benefits:

  • i. The Directors and Executives Option Scheme (DEOS), which provides benefits to directors and senior executives, and

  • ii. The Employee Share Scheme (ESS), which provides benefits to all employees, excluding directors and senior executives.

Details of the plans are covered under note 27 Employee Benefits.

The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid-price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

n. Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

o. Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

Interest Received

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

18

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

p. Income tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprise current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax liability balances arising during the year.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for the financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

q. Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

  • i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense; or

  • ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

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

19

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

r. Business Combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. 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 in an acquisition the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange or at an agreed average based on the published market price. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

s. Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash or cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Loans and receivables

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

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value of all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

20

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

s. Financial Instruments (continued)

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value o the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

t. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates – Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets including property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates, including levels of operating revenue and terminal value of assets. A material change to these key assumptions could result in material adjustment to the carrying values of non-current assets.

No impairment has been recognised in respect of non-current assets including intangibles (goodwill) for the year ended 30 June 2008. Further particulars of impairment testing can be found in note 16.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes formula, with the assumptions detailed in note 27. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

Inter-company loan

The parent entity impaired its loans receivable in controlled entities. The value was determined based upon financial modelling which was undertaken to determine the recoverable amount.

u. Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The company incurred a loss after tax of $79,046 for the financial year and at 30 June 2008 or an adjusted loss of $463,090 excluding the gain on sale of property.

The ability of the company to continue paying its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the company’s improving profitable operations, the raising of additional equity funds and finance funding (as and when required) or limiting the company’s cash burn rate.

In the event that the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise all assets at amounts different from that recorded in the balance sheet, settle liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and make provision for other costs which may arise as a result of cessation or curtailment of normal business procedures.

5. INCOME TAX (continued)

Tax consolidation

Refresh Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the “stand-alone taxpayer” approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. The Group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2005. The tax consolidated group has agreed that differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity. The head entity is Refresh Group Limited.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (after deducting interest on the convertible redeemable preference shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (adjusted for the effects of dilutive options and dilutive convertible noncumulative redeemable preference shares).

The following reflects the loss and share data used in the total operations basic and diluted loss per share computations:

Loss attributable to equity holders of the parent
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic earnings per share
Basic loss per share (cents per share)

Revaluations

An independent valuation for the land and buildings was obtained to determine fair value which was determined by reference to an open market basis, being the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledge willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm's length transaction at the valuation date.

The Group engaged Christie Whyte Moore, a licensed property valuer, to fair value its land and buildings. The land and buildings were assessed to have a fair value of $1,650,000 as a result of a valuation undertaken on 26 April 2007.

Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the balance sheet. Any revaluation deficit directly offsetting a previous surplus in the same asset is directly offset against the surplus in the asset revaluation reserve, otherwise it is charged to the net profit or loss. The effective date of the revaluation was 30 June 2007. The building was sold during this financial year.

The carrying value of plant and equipment held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts at 30 June 2008 is $217,046 (2007: $434,949). Leased assets and assets under hire purchase contracts are pledged as security for the related finance lease and hire purchase liabilities.

Trademarks relate to registered trademarks which have been purchased during business combinations.

The useful lives of these intangible assets were estimated as indefinite and the cost method was utilised for their measurement.

As at 30 June 2008, these assets were tested for impairment (see note 16).

No impairment loss was charged recognised in the 2008 financial year.

29

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

16. IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to individual cash generating units for impairment testing as follows:

Refresh Waters Queensland cash generating unit

The recoverable amount of the Toowoomba unit has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation.

The cash flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 10%.

The Board anticipates growth in revenue of around 14% for each of the next 5 years, with a net profit margin of 14% for Toowoomba. Despite an average revenue growth of 19% over the last 5 years, the Board has chosen a conservative estimated growth ahead. With the mining boom in areas west of Toowoomba, our distributors have seen a significant increase in revenue. Our upgrade of equipment and achievement of operational efficiencies would help us achieve the targeted margin.

Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets for each reporting segment. These budgets use historical weighted average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the period, which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the segments operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.

Hydr8 Water cash generating unit

The recoverable amount of Hydr8 has also been determined based on a value-in-use calculation.

The cash flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 10%.

The Board anticipates growth in revenues of around 20% for each of the next 5 years, with a net profit margin of 25% for Hydr8. Last year, Hydr8 achieved a revenue growth of 29%. Because of our multiple factories throughout Australia, Hydr8 is the only supplier who could offer nationwide deliveries for custom labelled bottled water. The strategic advantage has helped us to achieve market leader status in this industry. With increased marketing efforts through advertising and participation in trade fairs, we are well positioned to grow Hydr8 further.

Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets for each reporting segment. These budgets use historical weighted average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the period, which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the segments operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.

Capital management

The capital of the Group is managed in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Capital is managed by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, and share issues.

32

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

20. ISSUED CAPITAL AND RESERVES (continued)

There has been no change in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the group since the prior year.

Nature and purpose of reserves

Asset revaluation reserve

The asset revaluation reserve is used to record increments and decrements in the fair value of land and buildings to the extent that they offset one another. The reserve can only be used to pay dividends in limited circumstances.

Employee equity benefits reserve

The employee share option and share plan reserve is used to record the value of equity benefits provided to employees and directors as part of their remuneration. Refer to note 27 for further details of these plans.

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board reviews and agrees on policies for managing risks and they are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments is interest rate risk. The Group’s policy is to manage its risk using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.

Note 22 Financial Instruments sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

Foreign Currency and Price Risk

Foreign currency fluctuation does not affect the Group’s income as almost all our sales are within Australia. However, it does affect the price of raw materials and in turn, the final price of our purchases.

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group policy that customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

Liquidity Risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate cash reserves are maintained. A cash and commitment report forms part of the monthly management reports forwarded to the Board.

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise finance leases and hire purchase contracts, cash and shortterm deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for Group operations.

The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations.

Fair values

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their net fair values. The net fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined as follows:

  • The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices; and

33

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

  • The net fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow theory.

Investments

Investments are included at the lower of cost or recoverable amount.. The carrying amount of investments is reviewed at each reporting date by the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments.

Net Fair Values

The net fair values of:

  • Listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs expected to be incurred.

  • Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings, to their present value.

  • Other assets and other liabilities approximate their carrying value.

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

Financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair value have not been written down as the Group intends to hold these assets to maturity.

Sensitivity Analysis

The Group has no borrowing other than 2 fixed-rate hire purchases and as such, changes in interest rate will have insignificant effect on its profit or equity. Interest rate movements on cash balances would not be material.

As almost all revenue is derived from Australia, foreign currency fluctuation has minimal effect on its profit or equity.

23. BUSINESS COMBINATION

(a) Acquisition of Sun Shower Springs

On 2 July 2007, Refresh acquired the bottled water division of Sun Shower Springs Pty Ltd based in Brisbane. This business is incorporated into Refresh Waters Queensland Pty Ltd.

27. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

a. Directors and Executives Option Scheme

On 31 October 2005, the shareholders of Refresh Group Limited resolved to approve the creation of the Directors and Executives Option Scheme (“DEOS”).

The purpose of the DEOS is to align the interests of the directors and key management of Refresh by providing a cost-effective and efficient long-term incentive to them which is linked to the performance of the company. By rewarding executives with the issue of options, Refresh will be able to reward them without having to commit cash resources to do so.

Under the DEOS, directors and key management personnel of Refresh Group Limited are eligible to be issued with options to acquire unissued ordinary fully paid shares in Refresh Group Limited. The options will be issued for no consideration. They have an exercise period of one year.

The directors and key management personnel who have been granted options on 25 March 2008 are:

Name Number of
Options
HenryHeng (director) 150,000
EdmundTeo (director) 120,000
Murray Smith(director) 120,000

John Humphreys 100,000
StewartDoyle 80,000
Huei Jing Ho 80,000
Ian Theseira 80,000
Robert Jessett 80,000
Total 1,010,000

The exercise price of the options granted is $0.07 per share.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 30 June 2008

a. Directors and Executives Option Scheme (continued)

The above is a summary of the DEOS. A copy of the DEOS rules is available for inspection at the Head Office of Refresh Group Limited.

The fair value at grant date is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following table gives the assumptions made in determining the fair value of the options granted in the year to 30 June 2008.

Expected volatility (%)

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

During the year ended 30 June 2008, no options were exercised over ordinary shares.

The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of share options issued under the DEOS.

The weighted average contractual life for the share options outstanding as at 30 June 2008 is 1 year (2007: 1 year).

b. Employee Share Scheme

On 31 October 2005, the shareholders of Refresh Group Limited approved the creation of an Employee Share Scheme (“ESS”).

The purpose of the ESS is to reward current and future employees of the Group in a way which gives the employees an opportunity to share in the future growth and profitability of Refresh Group Limited.

Employees were eligible for a loan from the company in order to finance the purchase of shares. The loan is an interest-free loan with a maximum term of two years. Repayments are being made through deductions from the employee’s salary.

The Directors of Refresh Group Limited invited employees to participate in the ESS based on factors such as their length of service, grade or position in Refresh Group Limited. New employees will be eligible to join the ESS after one year’s continuous service.

Should an employee leave his or her employment without having fully repaid the loan, Refresh may sell that employee’s shares and apply the proceeds to the cost of the sale and the repayment of the loan. The balance (if any) will be returned to the employee. There are mechanics in place to ensure that shares acquired pursuant to a loan from Refresh Group Limited are not transferred until the loan has been repaid.

The above is a summary of the terms of the ESS. A copy of the ESS rules is available for inspection at the Head Office of Refresh Group Limited.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the members of Refresh Group Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Refresh Group Limited (the company) 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, 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.

Electronic Presentation of Audited Financial Report

This auditor’s report relates to the financial report of Refresh Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2008 included on the company’s web site. The company’s directors are responsible for the integrity of its web site. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of the company’s web site. The auditor’s report refers only to the statements named above. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from these statements. If users of this report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from electronic data communications they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the audited financial report to confirm the information included in the audited financial report presented on this web site.

Independence

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

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion:

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

  • i. giving a true and fair view of the company’s and 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.

Significant uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without qualifying our audit opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of the matters described in Note 2(u) in the financial report which indicates that the company’s and consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the company raising additional funds from debt or equity sources, or operations improving profitability in the future, there exists significant uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s and consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
