The Board is responsible for making recommendations on remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Board members and senior executives of the Company. The broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person's duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people to the highest quality. Directors and executives' remuneration is arrived at after consideration of the level of expertise each director and executives brings to the Company, the time and commitment required to efficiently and effectively perform the required tasks and after reference to payments made to directors and executives in similar positions in other companies.

During the year, the company entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement and therefore for a portion of the year, the executives of the company were the Deed Administrators and the external Administrators. Subsequent to year end, the Reconstruction Deed was entered into and new directors were appointed. Therefore the directors and executives noted above are no longer directors and executives of the company.

The intent of the review is to gauge the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and not to necessarily focus on individual performance. However it is necessary for the Board, in open forum, to focus on the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board Members. This assessment should include issues of diversity, age, skills, background, and other matters necessary to achieve the company's objectives and should be viewed in the context of the perceived needs of the Board and the current makeup of the Board at that point in time.

Conflict of Interest

Board Members are required to identify any conflict of interest they may have in dealing with the company's affairs and subsequently to refrain from participating in any discussion or voting on these matters.

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both Environmental Solutions International Ltd ("the company") and the consolidated entity for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 are set out on pages 16 to 49. The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We have conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the company. Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal controls, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and performance as represented by the results of their operations and their cash flows.

Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.

Deloitte.

Oualification

  • As a result of the Company going into administration in November 2004, entering into the $(a)$ Deed of Company Arrangement executed on 6 January 2005 and the Reconstruction Deed executed on 25 August 2005, the previous directors of the company and the deed administrators were responsible for maintaining the financial records of the company and consolidated entity during the financial year. As a result of these events, we have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to enable us to form an opinion on the classification and measurement of revenues and expenses between the various line items presented in the statement of financial performance and notes thereto, or the gross cash inflows and cash outflows presented in the statement of cash flows and notes thereto, in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2005. We have however obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the overall net loss, and the overall net decrease in cash held, for the financial year ended 30 June 2005.
  • $(b)$ The financial report does not disclose details of directors' and executives' remuneration in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2005. This is a departure from the requirements of Accounting Standard AASB 1046 Director and Executive Disclosures by Disclosing Entities, which requires the disclosure of the total amount of remuneration, and the components of each individual's remuneration, in respect of each specified director and specified executive. It is not practical for us to determine the amounts that should have been disclosed.
  • Note 27 to the financial statements discloses details of transactions with related parties. As a $(c)$ result of the events discussed in qualification paragraph (a), we have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to enable us to form an opinion as to the accuracy and completeness of the disclosed transactions with related parties, and accordingly, whether the requirements of Accounting Standards AASB 1017 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 1046 Director and Executive Disclosures by Disclosing Entities have been complied with.

Oualified Audit Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effects on the financial report of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the limitation on the scope of our audit as discussed in qualification paragraph (a) and (c) not existed, and except for the effects on the financial report of the matters referred to in qualification paragraph (b), the financial report of Environmental Solutions International Ltd is in accordance with:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Accounting Policies

This financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, and complies with other requirements of the law.

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and except where stated does not take into account changing money values or current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report.

Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company and the consolidated entity incurred a loss of \$1,796,000 and \$1,825,000 respectively for the year ended 30 June 2005. At 30 June 2005, both the Company and the consolidated entity were also in a net asset deficiency of \$1.056,000. Despite this, 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.

On 18 November 2004, the Company and other wholly owned subsidiaries were placed into Receivership. As a consequence, on 19 November 2004, the Company was placed into Voluntary Administration.

A proposal to enter the Company into a Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCA") was approved at a meeting of creditors on 16 December 2004. On 6 January 2005, the Deed of Company Arrangement was executed and the Company, previously subject to voluntary administration, became subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement.

On 25 August 2005 the Company executed a Reconstruction Deed with Rofin Australia Pty Ltd detailing the terms of a recapitalisation and restructure of the Company. On 30 September 2005, the Creditors of the Company approved the restructuring of the Company and also approved a variation to the existing Deed of Company Arrangement so as to facilitate the restructure. On 11 October 2005 the Varied Deed of Company Arrangement was executed.

The Reconstruction Deed as outlined in Note 23 contemplates the consolidation of the Company's share capital, a capital raising (being a placement of shares with a sophisticated investor), payment of cash and the issue of debt capitalisation shares for the benefit of creditors under the DOCA and Trust Deed, the lifting of the company's ASX trading suspension and the termination of the DOCA and coming into effect of a Trust Deed for the benefit of creditors.

The Deed of Company Arrangement, subject to conditions being met, required that an amount of \$1,150,000, certain assets and rights to the benefit of the Company be made available for the satisfactions of the claims of creditors and to meet the costs of the Administrator and Deed Administrator.

The shareholders approved all of the resolutions on 5 December 2005 and the Company was subsequently removed from Administration on 15 December 2005. On removal from Administration the remaining assets of the company, other than all rights and property pertaining to the Enersludge technology were assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Listing Rule 11.2 of the ASX and the terms of the Deed of Company Arrangement, and all debts payable by, and claims against the company (actual or contingent) arising before the date of appointment of the Administrator, were extinguished.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont) Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements (cont)

Rofin Australia Pty Ltd has paid the \$2,200,000 to the Company subsequent to 30 June 2005 and \$1,150,000 of these funds were made available to the creditors and the trustees. The \$1,150,000 represents \$630,000 which has been paid to Commonwealth Bank as the secured creditor, \$300,000 which has been paid to the unsecured creditors trust and \$220,000 which was paid to the Deed Administrators by Rofin Australia Pty Ltd.

Due to the above, the Directors consider the going concern basis to be appropriate based on the completion of the Deed of Company Arrangement, recapitalisation proposal and capital raisings of a total of \$2,390,000, resulting in net pro forma funds of \$1,240,000 (before costs and after the deduction of the above \$1,150,000 payment to the Administrator) after the recapitalisation.

(A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the consolidated entity being the company and the entities it controlled during the year. Where entities are not controlled throughout the financial year, the consolidated results include the results of those entities for that part of the year during which control exists. The controlled entities are listed in Note 24 to the financial statements.

The effect of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity and inter-entity balances are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Where necessary dissimilar accounting policies adopted by controlled entities have been amended to ensure consistent policies are adopted within the consolidated entity.

(B) CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Capital gains tax is not taken into account in determining the carrying amount of revalued non-current assets unless a definite decision to sell has been taken and the related capital gains tax can be reliably determined.

(C) DEPRECIATION OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment and is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost of each asset during its expected useful life. Leased assets are amortised over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight-line method.

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

  • Plant and Equipment: 5 years
  • Equipment under finance lease: 5 years

(D) RECOVERABLE AMOUNT OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Non-current assets are written down to recoverable amount where the carrying value of any non-current assets exceeds recoverable amount. In determining the recoverable amount of non-current assets the expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present value.

(E) INCOME TAX

Tax effect accounting principles have been adopted whereby income tax expense has been calculated on pre-tax accounting profits after adjustments for permanent differences. The tax effect of timing differences, which occur when items are included or allowed for income tax purposes in a period different to that for accounting is shown at current taxation rates in provision for deferred income tax and future income tax benefit as applicable.

Information about the tax consolidation system is included in note 5.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

(F) INTANGIBLES

$\omega$ LICENCES, PATENTS AND RIGHTS TO TECHNOLOGY ASSETS

The Directors are of the opinion that the carrying amount for these assets does not exceed the recoverable amount and the future benefits are expected to equal or exceed the carrying value plus any future costs necessary to give rise to the future benefit.

The licences, patents and technology assets are reviewed regularly to ensure the criterion for deferral continues to be met.

Amortisation commences with the commercial production of the product and the basis of amortisation employed is determined by reference to the benefits expected to arise from the sale or use of the product. The assets are to be amortised over 10 years from the date of commercialisation in order to match such amortisation costs with related benefits.

$(ii)$ GOODWILL

Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years.

CONSTRUCTION WORK $(G)$

The value of unbilled amounts due from customers is arrived at by taking to account cost plus profits recognised to date less progress billings received and provisions for foreseeable losses. Profits are recognised in proportion to the percentage of completion of the contract. A provision for a foreseeable loss is made as soon as the loss is anticipated and is made both for work in progress completed to date and for future work on the contract.

Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method. Stage of completion is measured by reference to physical survey of the works as agreed with the client.

(H) JOINT VENTURES

Interests in joint venture operations have been reported in the financial statements, including the consolidated entity's share of assets employed in the joint venture, the share of liabilities incurred in relation to the joint venture and the share of any expenses incurred in relation to the joint venture in their respective classification categories.

(I) RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any provision for doubtful debts.

(J) ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

(K) EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS

Provision is made 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 are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave, and other employee entitlements 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

Provisions made in respect of long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

(L) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Debt and Equity Instruments

Where applicable, debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Interest and Dividends

Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the statement of financial position classification of the related debt or equity instruments.

(M) LEASED ASSETS

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a basis which reflects the pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Leased assets classified as finance leases are recognised as assets. The amount initially brought to account is the present value of minimum leased payments.

A finance lease is one which effectively transfers from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased property. Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset

Finance lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of lease liability over the term of the lease. The interest expense is determined by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the outstanding lease liability at the beginning of each lease payment period.

(N) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Rendering of Services

Revenue from a contract to provide design and engineering services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

(O) GOODS AND SERVICES TAX

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

  • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of $(i)$ the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
  • $(ii)$ for receivables and pavables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

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

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows 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 as operating cash flows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

(P) ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

Assets acquired are recorded at the cost of acquisition, being the purchase consideration determined as at the date of acquisition plus costs incidental to the acquisition.

In the event that settlement of all or part of the cash consideration given in the acquisition of an asset is deferred, the fair value of the purchase consideration is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

(Q) INVESTMENTS

Investments in controlled entities are recorded at cost.

D Glennon (Managing Director) (resigned 31 August 2004)
D H O'Neill (Non-executive)
J B H Cheak (Non-executive)
The specified executives of Environmental Solutions International Ltd during the year were:
T R Bridle (Technical Director)
M P Peters (General Manager – Water/Wastewater)
J R Jennings (General Manager Engineering Design)
P A Hopps (Company Secretary/Chief Financial Officer)

The broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person's duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people to the highest quality. Directors and executives' remuneration is arrived at after consideration of the level of expertise each director and executives brings to the Company, the time and commitment required to efficiently and effectively perform the required tasks and after reference to payments made to directors and executives in similar positions in other companies.

During the year, the company entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement and therefore for a portion of the year. the executives of the company were the Deed Administrators and the external Administrators.

No remuneration has been paid or payable to the current directors for the year ended 30 June 2005. As a result of the external administration, the current directors have not been able to determine the full extent of the remuneration paid to former directors and specified executives.

Due to the company being under a Deed of Company Arrangement during the year, the Employee Share Option plan ceased under the terms of the Deed of Company Arrangement. There are no employees of the company or consolidated entity as at 30 June 2005.

Prior to entering into the Deed of Company Arrangement, the company has an incentive based share plan for employees.

The taxation benefits of tax losses and timing differences not brought to account will only be obtained if:

(a) Assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised:

(b) Conditions for deductibility imposed by the law are complied with; and

(c) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit from the deductions.

Due to the company entering into the Deed of Company Arrangement and the Reconstruction Deed, it may not be possible under the conditions above for the taxation benefits to be obtained.

Tax Consolidation System

Legislation to allow groups, comprising a parent entity and its Australian resident wholly –owned entities, to elect to consolidate and be treated as a single entity for income tax purposes was substantially enacted on 21 October 2002. This legislation, which includes both mandatory and elective elements, is applicable to the company.

All wholly owned entities within the consolidated entity (excluding the parent entity) are non-operating. Accordingly the directors have elected that all entities within the consolidated entity will continue to be taxed as separate entities from 1 July 2002.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

23 Subsequent Events cont

A proposal to enter the Company into a Deed of Company Arrangement was approved at a meeting of creditors held on 16 December 2004. On 6 January 2005, the Deed of Company Arrangement was executed and Environmental Solutions International Limited, previously subject to voluntary administration, became subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement.

Subsequent to year end, on 25 August 2005 the Company executed a Reconstruction Deed with Rofin Australia Pty Ltd detailing the terms of a recapitalisation and restructure of the Company.

At a meeting of Creditors held on 30 September 2005, the Deed Administrators recommended to the creditors of the Company that it was in the best interests of Creditors to enter into an Amended Deed of Company Arrangement. At this meeting, Creditors voted in favour of the Company entering into a Deed of Company Arrangement with Rofin Australia Pty Ltd, so that Rofin Australia Pty Ltd could recapitalise the Company. The proposal was approved by Creditors and the Amended Deed of Company Arrangement was subsequently executed. On 15 December 2005, the Deed of Company Arrangement was effectuated and terminated with full control being passed onto the current Directors of the Company.

The Deed of Company Arrangement, subject to conditions being met, required that an amount of \$1,150,000, certain assets and rights to the benefit of the Company be made available for the satisfaction of the claims of creditors and to meet the costs of the Administrator and Deed Administrator.

The proposal from Rofin Australia Ptv Ltd required members in General Meeting to vote on and pass the following resolutions all of which were interdependent of each other:

  • the consolidation of the capital of the Company on the basis that every 5 Shares be consolidated to 1 $(a)$ Share. The options were consolidated on the same basis:
  • $(b)$ the issue and allotment of $190,000,000$ Shares at an issue price of 0.1 cents per Share together with 30,000,000 Options exercisable at 1 cent on or before 1 November 2008. following the consolidation of capital, to raise \$190,000 for working capital. The determination of the allottees is at the sole discretion of Rofin Australia Ptv Ltd:
  • the issue and allotment of up to 220,000,000 Shares at an issue price of not less than 1 cents per Share, $(c)$ following the consolidation of capital, to raise \$2,200,000 for working capital. The determination of the allottees is at the sole discretion of Rofin Australia Pty Ltd;
  • $(d)$ the election of the new Directors of the Company as nominated by Rofin Australia Pty Ltd and the removal of all previous Directors of the Company:

The shareholders approved all of the resolutions on 5 December 2005 and the Company was subsequently removed from Administration on 15 December 2005. On removal from Administration the remaining assets of the company, other than all rights and property pertaining to the Enersludge technology were assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Listing Rule 11.2 of the ASX and the terms of the Deed of Company Arrangement, and all debts payable by, and claims against the company (actual or contingent) arising before the date of appointment of the Administrator, were extinguished.

Rofin Australia Pty Ltd has paid the \$2,390,000 to the Company subsequent to 30 June 2005 in the manner described above. \$1.150.000 of these funds were made available to the creditors and the trustees. The \$1.150.000 represents \$630,000 which has been paid to Commonwealth Bank as the previously secured creditor, \$300,000 which has been paid to the unsecured creditors trust and \$220,000 which was paid to the Deed Administrators by Rofin Australia Pty Ltd.

Other than the above there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the financial year, that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

During the year, the company entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement and therefore for a portion of the year, the executives of the company were the Deed Administrators and the external Administrators. Subsequent to year end, the Reconstruction Deed was entered into and new directors were appointed.

As a result of the external administration, the current directors have not been able to determine the accuracy and completeness of the cashflows and the presentation of those cashflows.

$(c)$ Credit Risk

The consolidated entity does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single debtor or any group of debtors having similar characteristics.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the consolidated entity's maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral or other security.

(d) Net Fair Value

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their net fair values.

Net fair value is determined based on generally accepted pricing models using, where appropriate, discounted cash flow techniques.

35 Impacts of adopting the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has issued Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for application to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The company has commenced reviewing the transition from its current policies to the AASB equivalents to IFRS but due to the company entering into administration, it has not been possible for the company to quantify the likely impacts of the transition into IFRS. However, the Company has allocated resources and engaged expert consultants to review, identify and conduct business impact assessments to isolate key areas that will be affected by this transition. The adoption of the AASB equivalents to IFRS will be first reflected in the Group's financial statements for the half-year ending 31 December 2005 and the year ending 30 June 2006.

Under AASB1 the Consolidated entity, in complying with Australian equivalents to IFRS for the first time is required to restate its comparative financial statements to amounts reflecting the application of Australian equivalents to IFRS to that comparative period. Most adjustments on transition to Australian equivalents to IFRS will be made, retrospectively, against opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2004.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

Key areas where accounting policies are likely to change and may impact on the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity include the following:

Income Tax

The consolidated entity currently recognises deferred taxes by accounting for the differences between accounting profits and taxable income, which give rise to "permanent" and "timing" differences. Under A-IFRS, deferred taxes are measured by reference to the "temporary differences" determined as the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities recognised in the balance sheet.

Because A-IFRS has a wider scope than the entity's current accounting policies, it is likely that the amount of deferred taxes recognised in the balance sheet will increase. The likely impact of these changes on deferred tax balances has not currently been determined.

The consolidated entity also has carried forward tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets as they do not satisfy the "virtually certain" criteria under current Australian GAAP (refer note 5(b)). Under A-IFRS, it may be easier to recognise these tax losses as deferred tax assets as they are recognised based on a "probable" recognition criteria. The impact of this difference may be to increase deferred tax assets and opening retained earnings, and result in a higher level of recognised deferred tax assets on a go-forward basis.

As per note 5, due to the company entering into the Deed of Company Arrangement and the Reconstruction Deed, it may not be possible under the conditions above for the taxation benefits to be obtained and therefore there may be no deferred tax assets recognised.

Financial Instruments

Under current Australian GAAP, financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at cost, at fair value, or at net market value. On adoption of A-IFRS, in particular AASB 139 "Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement", the consolidated entity will be required to classify financial instruments into various specified categories. The five categories and basis of measurement are:

  • financial asset or financial liability measured at fair value through the statement of financial performance; $\bullet$
  • $\bullet$ held to maturity investments measured at amortised cost, subject to impairment;
  • loans and receivables measured at amortised cost, subject to impairment;
  • available for sale assets measured at fair value with changes in fair value measured directly in equity; and
  • financial liability measured at amortised cost. $\bullet$

The classification of the instrument will affect the instrument's subsequent measurement. The consolidated entity is evaluating the different options available, but has not made any determination at reporting date of the accounting to be adopted, and consequently, the impact of the change on the financial statements cannot yet be quantified.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

Property, Plant and Equipment

On transition to A-IFRS, the entity has several options in the determination of the cost of each tangible asset, and can also elect to use the cost or fair value basis for the measurement of each class of property, plant and equipment after transition. At the date of this report, the entity has not decided which options and measurement basis will be adopted and the likely impacts therefore cannot be determined.

Impairment of Assets

Non-current assets are written down to recoverable amount when the asset's carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount.

Under A-IFRS, both current and non-current assets are tested for impairment. In addition, A-IFRS has a more prescriptive impairment test, and requires discounted cash flows to be used where value in use is used to assess recoverable amount. Consequently, on adoption of A-IFRS, a further impairment of certain assets may need to be recognised, thereby decreasing opening retained earnings and the carrying amount of assets – the consolidated entity has not yet determined the impact, if any, of any further impairment which may be required. It is not practicable to determine the impact of the change in accounting policy for future financial reports, as any impairment or reversal thereof will be affected by future conditions.
