They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011.

3 Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

4 Estimates

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2011.

5 Financial Risk Management

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011.

6 Operating Segments

Directors' Declaration

1.

In the opinion of the Directors of Finbar Group Limited ('the Company'):

  • The financial statements and notes that are contained in Pages 5 to 13 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
  • i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
  • ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards AASB134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
    1. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company and the group entities will be able to meet any obligations or liabilities to which they are or may become subject to.

Dated at Perth this 21st day of February 2012.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors:

Managing Director Darren Pateman

Independent auditor's review report to the members of Finbar Group Limited

Report on the financial report

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Finbar Group Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the interim period ended on that date, notes 1 to 16 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year's end or from time to time during the interim period.

Directors' responsibility for the interim financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with 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 interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the interim period ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Finbar Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of an interim 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 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 interim financial report of Finbar Group Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the interim period ended on that date; and
  • (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
