1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Speewah Metals Limited (“Speewah” or “the Company”) is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The condensed financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 8 March 2011 in accordance with a resolution of the directors. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The half year 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 half year financial report should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the period ended 30 June 2010.

It is also recommended that the half year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Speewah and its controlled entities during the half year ended 31 December 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the ASX Listing Rules.

Apart from the changes in accounting policy noted below, the accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the Annual Financial Report for 2010.

(b) Changes in Accounting Policies

From 1 July 2010, the Group has adopted the Standards and Interpretations, mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010. Adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments.

To the members of Speewah Metals Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Speewah Metals Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports 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 2010 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 Speewah Metals Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, 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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

GHM:NR:Speewah:2010:015

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 Speewah Metals 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 2010 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
