EZENET LIMITED HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2008

EZENET LIMITED A.B.N. 84 083 646 477

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EZENET LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Ezenet Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, 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 the Ezenet Limited Group (consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both Ezenet Limited (the company) and the entities it controlled during that half-year.

Directors' Responsibility for the 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 establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 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 2008 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Ezenet 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.

Whilst we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of or 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.
