Appendix 4D & Chairman's Half-Yearly Report, 31 December, 2006.
Dear shareholder,
The Board of Anadis Limited has decided to sell its building at Campbellfield, Melbourne, to release approximately \$1.2 million in cash for the Company's use. Anadis will lease the building back at market rates.
The cash injection should ensure that the necessary expenditure for our Enterovirus 71 project will be available as and when required.
On other fronts, our research projects – including our research into influenza and nosicomial diseases - continue successfully.
Nutraceutical initiatives have attracted interest from a major food company. Discussions are at an advanced stage.
Our manufacturing business is proceeding well, and we are attracting new clients. It continues to generate reasonable margins to help fund our research.
The Board of Anadis Limited is conducting a strategic review of the Company and its operations, the results of which will be reported to shareholders in due course.
Regards.
Billy Ma
Philip Molyneux. Chairman

ANADIS Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2006
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
This general purpose financial report for the interim half-year reporting period 31 December, 2006 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report of the year ended 30 June, 2006 and any public announcements made by Anadis Limited during the interim reporting period with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
Going concern
At 31 December, 2006 the Company's cash and investments were approximately \$1.1 million and for the six months end 31 December, 2006 the Company experienced operating losses of \$1.2 million and operating net cash outflows of \$1.4 million. As a result of the continuing losses and cash outflows from operations the Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
The Company's ability to fund its operations is dependent upon obtaining income from the commercialisation of its research and development projects, supplemented by contract manufacturing and grant incomes, and from the raising of additional capital through new sources of financing. Ultimately, the Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations through the successful commercialisation of its products and technology.
As a result of the difficulty in predicting the timing and quantum of income from the commercialization of its products and technology, including Travelan and EV71, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
However, the Directors are confident that the Company's planned initiatives will be successfully achieved during the next 12 months providing access to adequate financial resources. Specifically, in July 2006 the Company signed a further two year contract with Aussie Bodies ensuring a supplementary income flow from contract manufacturing, in August 2006 the Company signed contracts for the distribution of Travelan internationally. Furthermore, the Company has a history of successful capital raising, including the raising of \$1.6 million in June 2006, and the Directors are confident of the Company's ability to raise further capital.
The board of Anadis Limited has decided to sell its building at Campbellfield, Melbourne, to release approximately \$1.2 million in cash for the company's use. Anadis will lease the building back at market rates.
Also in February, 2007 the Company received a R&D tax refund of \$282,524.
Accordingly, the Directors have prepared the financials on a going concern basis. As such, the financial statements do not include any adjustments as to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT to the members of Anadis Limited
PricewaterhouseCoopers ABN 52 780 433 757
Freshwater Place 2 Southbank Boulevard SOUTHBANK VIC 3006 GPO Box 1331L MELBOURNE VIC 3001 DX 77 Website:www.pwc.com/au Telephone +61 3 8603 1000
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Anadis Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2006, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for Anadis Limited (the company).
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the halfvear 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 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 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 company'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 Anadis 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. It also includes reading the other information included with the financial report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report. 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.
For further explanation of a review, visit our website http:/www.pwc.com/au/financialstatementaudit.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
PRICEWATERHOUSE COPERS
While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our review was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Our review did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.
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 Anadis Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 31 December 2006 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 qualification to the conclusion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of the matters described in Note 1, there is significant uncertainty whether the company will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
