CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2007
1. CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT.
$(a)$ Reporting Entity
Richfield Group Limited (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial report of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2007 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "consolidated entity").
Statement of Compliance $(b)$
The consolidated interim financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting Standards including Accounting Standard AASB 134: "Interim Financial Reporting" and other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views).
The consolidated interim financial report does not include all 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 consolidated interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of consolidated entity as at 30 June 2007, as prepared under A-IFRS. It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by the consolidated entity during the half-year ended 31 December 2007 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
Significant accounting policies $(c)$
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the annual financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2007.
Since 1 July 2007 the group has adopted the following Standards and Interpretations, mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007. Adoption of these Standards and Interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the group.
AASB 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures $\bullet$
$(d)$ 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 liabilities in the ordinary course of business and on the assumption of sufficient funds becoming available for the operations of the consolidated entity.
The basis of adopting the going concern assumption is dependent upon the Richfield Group Ltd and controlled entities raising additional funds from debt or equity sources, or operations becoming profitable in the future.
$2.$ Segment Reporting
The Group operated predominantly in one geographical segment and one business, being the seeking of business opportunities in the IT and mining industries.
3. Contingent Assets and Liabilities
There are no contingent assets or liabilities as at the reporting date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF RICHFIELD GROUP LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Report on the half-year financial report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Richfield Group Ltd (the Company) and the entities it controlled (the consolidated entity), which comprises the condensed balance sheet as at 31 December 2007, and the condensed income statement, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed cash flow statement for the halfyear ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, and other selected explanatory notes. The consolidated entity comprises both the Company and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the consolidated entity 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 control 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 half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagement ASRE 2410: Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, 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 2007 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. As the auditor of Richfield Group Ltd, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
12

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. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, provided to the directors of Richfield Group Ltd on 31 December 2007, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the date of this auditor's review report.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Richfield Group Ltd and its controlled entities 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 2007 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date.
- $(b)$ complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Significant Uncertainty Regarding the Going Concern Assumption
Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter
We refer to Note 1 to the financial statements relating to the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis. The ability of the Company and the consolidated entity to operate as going concerns is dependent on the operations becoming profitable or additional funds being provided by financiers or shareholders of the entity.
