CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2006

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 2006 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "consolidated entity").

$(b)$ Statement of Compliance

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 2006, 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 2006 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

$(c)$ Significant accounting policies

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 2006.

The Group has taken the exemption available under AASB 1 to only apply AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2005.

$(d)$ Going Concern basis of accounting

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a deficiency of working capital and total equity, and has made trading losses since inception. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is therefore dependent on the operations becoming profitable or additional funds being provided by financiers or shareholders of the entity.

$\overline{2}$ . Segment Reporting

The Group operated predominantly in one geographical segment and one business, being the seeking of business opportunities in the IT industry.

3. Contingent Assets and Liabilities

There are no contingent assets or liabilities as at the reporting date.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2006 (Cont'd)

$\boldsymbol{4}$ Events Subsequent to Balance Date

The Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has arisen since 31 December 2006 which has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF RICHFIELD GROUP LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Richfield Group Limited, which comprises the condensed balance sheet as at 31 December 2006, and the condensed income statement, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, a description of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for Richfield Group Limited (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both Richfield Group Limited (the company) and the entities it controlled during that 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 designing, implementing 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 an 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 Engagements 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 2006 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 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.

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

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

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 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 2006 and of its performance and its cashflows for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • b) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

INHERENT UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION

Without qualification to the conclusion expressed above, attention is also drawn to the following matter:

GOING CONCERN

We refer to Note 1 (d) in the notes to the financial statements relating to the preparation of the interim financial statements on a going concern basis. The Company has a deficiency of working capital and total equity, and has made trading losses since inception. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is therefore dependent on the operations becoming profitable or additional funds being provided by financiers or shareholders of the entity.
