2. Brief Explanation of the Result

For the first 6 months, revenue has increased by 27% as compared to previous year mainly because of the additional revenue of $794K from Fusion. However, despite the increase in revenue, low margin, high distribution, warehousing and marketing costs resulted in Fusion business incurring an operating loss of $428K. AridTec, newly acquired subsidiary is also operating at a loss of $366K for the first 6 months.

The increase in losses was also attributed to amortisation of AridTec patent amounting to $118K, amortisation of Fusion goodwill of $9.8K and impairment loss of Toowoomba CGU amounting to $158K.

For more details, please refer to Page 3 of the Directors’ Report.

On 13 July 2010, the Group acquired 100% of the issued capital of AridTec Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based company.

REFRESH GROUP LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Your directors submit their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2010.

DIRECTORS

The names of the directors of the Company in office at the date of this report or during the half-year are:-

  • Henry Heng Edmund Teo

Mun Yew Chan (appointed on 13 July 2010)

Chee Keong Oh (appointed on 13 July 2010) Jamie Gee Choo Khoo (appointed on 25 November 2010) Alan Ong (resigned on 18 February 2011)

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are pleased to report that 4 out of 6 Refresh factories in Australia are currently profitable. The first half being a cooler season, we are working towards making all 6 factories profitable by end of the year. Unfortunately, we had to impair goodwill on our Toowoomba operations resulting in taking $158k off our bottomline. Without the impairment the Australian segments (WA, NSW, VIC and QLD), excluding Fusion, could have achieved a profit of $176k.

The acquisition of Fusion has added to our revenue. However, a lot was spent to get our products into the supermarkets. This resulted in the division making a loss of $428k in the first half year. We have since closed the division and integrated the operations into the various states we are operating in.

Delay in the introduction of a new low-priced model has severely impacted AridTec sales in the first half resulting in a loss of $366k.

The Board is weighing various options with regards to funding and growth. As the discussions are preliminary, it is not expedient to report them at this stage. However, we should be able to present a proposal to shareholders in the near future.

Details of the results are found in Note 4 Operating Segment.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

We have obtained an independence declaration from our auditors, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, which is included on page 4.

Signed for and on behalf of the directors in accordance with a resolution of the Board.

REFRESH GROUP LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Refresh Group Limited for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 28 February 2011. Refresh Group Limited is a company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The Group’s principal activities are the production and/or distribution of lifestyle products like bottled water, coolers and filtration systems.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The half-year financial report does not include all of the notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Report of Refresh Group Limited as at 30 June 2010.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Refresh Group Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 31 December 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

(a) Basis of preparation

The half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirement of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting Standards, including AASB134 Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2010 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

(b) Significant accounting policies

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the last annual financial statements for the year to 30 June 2010 except for the adoption of Statement of Comprehensive income analysing expenses using classification based on the function of expenses instead of nature of expenses for this financial year.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these half-year consolidated financial statements.

9

REFRESH GROUP LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

(c) Basis of consolidation

The half-year consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Refresh Group Limited and its controlled subsidiaries (‘the Group’).

(d) 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 Consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,054,034 and had cash outflows from operations of $1,220,306 during the period ended 31 December 2010.

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

The management is continuing its effort to increase revenue through securing new contracts on its core business and business from Fusion. With its recent drastic cost cutting measures and developing new strategies, the consolidated entity is expecting to reduce its losses in the future. We are also actively seeking funding from potential investors.

In the event that the consolidated entity is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise all assets at amounts different from that recorded in the statement of financial position, 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.

3. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS

On 13 July 2010, Refresh Group Ltd acquired AridTec Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based company, with the issue of 71,800,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.065 each. AridTec is a manufacturer of water harvesting and purification equipment.

During the last 6 months, 16,954,616 shares at an issue price of $0.065 each was issued, raising $1,102,050 for working capital purposes.

REFRESH GROUP LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

4. OPERATING SEGMENT

Segment Information

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

In identifying its operating segment, management follows the geographical location of the Group’s operations. Corporate costs are included under “Other”.

Types of products and services by segment

All segments provide the same type of products and services being the manufacture and sale of bottled water and filtration systems.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

(a) Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

(b) Intersegment transactions

There is no intersegment sale and corporate costs are not allocated. Corporate costs are classified under “Other” in the segment performance analysis.

(c) Segment assets

Segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

(d) Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

(e) Unallocated items

The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they not considered part of the core operations of any segment:

5. 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 non-cumulative redeemable preference shares).

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

REFRESH GROUP LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Due to the current economic environment, changes to the Company’s operating results and forecasts, and a reduction in the Company’s market capitalisation, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred and performed a goodwill impairment test at balance sheet date.

Goodwill is allocated to the Company’s cash generating units “CGUs”. The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired.

In accordance with AASB 136, “Impairment of Assets”, the Company performed its goodwill impairment test by comparing the recoverable amount of each CGU with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU was determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a five year period including a terminal value. The growth rate assumptions ranged from 5% to 10% reflecting achievement of at least a long-term estimate of inflation in the region in which each CGU operates. Management prepared the value-in-use calculations with reference to historical results and forecasts for each CGU.

The discount rate for each CGU was estimated based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital adapted for the regions in which the CGUs operate. The discount rate used is 12.11%.

The Board anticipates the growth rate in revenue and net profit margin to remain the same for all CGUs as reported in 30 June 2010 except for growth rate in revenue for Hydr8 to be 5% as compared to 6-8% and its net profit margin to be 5% as compared to 8%. Fusion, a new CGU is anticipated to achieve a growth rate of 5% and a net profit margin of 5%.

As a result of changes in the sales mix, impairment of $158,069 for Toowoomba was recognised, based on the discount rate of 12.11%, and estimated growth rate of 1%.

AridTec has not performed to expectations and the Board is considering all commercial options available. At 31 December 2010, the Group had $3,882,353 and $530,219 related to AridTec patents and goodwill, respectively, in intangible assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. The recoverability of the values at when these assets are carried depends on the successful completion of one of the commercial options being considered. If any of the commercial options cannot be successfully concluded, these assets would need to be significantly written down.

9. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE

No significant events have occurred between the reporting date and the date of authorisation.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the period the Group borrowed $415,406 from related parties. Loans totalling $110,000 have a two month term and a 24% interest rate. In addition there is an unsecured revolving line of credit with interest rate of 12%. At 31 December 2010, $267,406 was outstanding on these related party debts.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Refresh Group Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Refresh Group Limited (“Company”), which comprises the consolidated financial statements being the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising both the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year 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 half-year 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.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

==> picture [139 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

auditor of Refresh Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year 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 complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

A limitation in scope of our work exists for the reasons described below:

As disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the consolidated entity has included in the non-current assets, intangible assets representing patents and goodwill reported at 31 December 2010 at $3,882,353 and $530,219 respectively (the assets). This relates to the acquisition of AridTec. As set out in Note 8, the recoverability of the carrying values of the assets is dependent on the successful completion of one of several commercial options being considered by the Board. Australian Accounting Standard AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires an asset to be carried at no more than its recoverable amount. We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in relation to the commercial options being considered by the Board to support the recoverable amount of the assets and, accordingly, we have been unable to determine whether the recoverable amounts of the assets are at least equal to their carrying values. In the event that the carrying value of the assets exceeds their recoverable amount, it would be necessary for the carrying value of the assets to be written down to their recoverable amount.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, with the exception of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Refresh Group Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Material uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without further qualification to the conclusion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 2d to the financial statements which indicate that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss

18

==> picture [139 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

of $1,054,034 during the half-year ended 31 December 2010 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity had cash outflows from operations of $1,220,306. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2d, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
