DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Review of Operations

The financial year ended 30 June 2007 has seen valuable progress in the Company’s efforts to establish its retail brand ‘dairypure’ in the Chinese market place. At year end approximately 2,804 stores stocked Montec’s monounsaturated liquid milk products with a sound foundation having been set for further expansion. The Company’s objective is to secure distribution through a sufficient number of retail points of presence, combined with acceptable turnover of product by outlet, for the business to become commercial.

The Company’s business development for the financial year ended 30 June 2007 has centred on Beijing, Shanghai and other cities including Qingdao and Dalian. Distribution to-date has been achieved through a combination of agent relationships, the channels available to the company’s production partner Beijing Sanyuan Foods Co Ltd, and Montec’s own sales team and the niche channels on which this team is focused.

In addition to its liquid milk business, the Company was successful in lodging patent applications for monounsaturated ice-cream. This patent application can be extended to worldwide protection of the technology should Montec determine commercial opportunity for the patented process on this scale. The current intention is for patents to be sought in each country where commercial activity is pursued including China.

To progress the Company’s China expansion a capital raising program was undertaken during the financial year. This comprised a limited private placement to sophisticated investors, raising approximately $0.6 million before costs, in November 2006, and a combined placement and renounceable rights issue raising approximately $3.9 million before costs in May 2007. These capital raisings have addressed the Company’s immediate funding needs, based on the near term objectives that have been set.

The Company was successful in achieving a negotiated settlement to the litigation which surrounds the ownership of European patents for monounsaturated dairy during the financial year. The settlement, which results in the European patents not being pursued, was considered to be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders as it allows management to focus more appropriately on the Company’s core business in China. This chapter in the Company’s development has been frustrating for the current board and management.

From a financial perspective the year ended 30 June 2007 has been characterised as a period of further development where expenditure has been incurred with an expectation of future revenues being earnt.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

There was no significant change in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

After Balance Date Events

There are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Future Developments

The likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years are to be:

  • The recognition of royalties and/or profit margins following the sale of commercial quantities of monounsaturated dairy emanating from commercial arrangements that have been established by Montec to date. This activity is expected to be in a range of locations through China, including Beijing and Shanghai, and across a range of monounsaturated dairy products; and

  • The commercialising of Montec’s proprietary technology with appropriate customers in a number of Asia Pacific countries.

Environmental Issues

The consolidated entity’s operations are not subject to significant environmental regulation under a law of China, or of the Commonwealth or of a state or territory of Australia.

Remuneration Report

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of Montec International Limited (the Company).

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.

To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

  • provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives;

  • link executive rewards to shareholder value;

  • a significant portion of executive remuneration at risk, dependent upon meeting pre-determined performance benchmarks; and

  • establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles in relation to variable executive remuneration.

Remuneration Committee

The remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the senior management team.

The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and senior managers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team.

Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non executive director and senior management remuneration is separate and distinct.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Remuneration Report (continued)

Non Executive Director Remuneration

Objective

The board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Company’s constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The latest determination was as outlined in the Company’s Initial Public Offering prospectus of $300,000 per annum.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The board considers advice from external parties as well as the fees paid to non executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Each director receives a fee for being a director of the company.

Non executive directors are encouraged by the board to hold shares in the company. Although not in accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Best Practices, the board considers it good governance for directors to have a stake in the company.

The remuneration of non executive directors for the period ending 30 June 2007 is detailed in Note 5b of the financial statements.

Executive Officer and Executive Director Remuneration

Objective

The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:

  • reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;

  • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;

  • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and

  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level and make up of executive remuneration, the Remuneration Committee has had reference to external measures including independent salary surveys detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Remuneration Report (continued)

Employment contracts are entered into with the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Technical Director. These are summarised below.

Remuneration consists of the following key elements:

  • Fixed remuneration; and

  • Variable remuneration

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for each senior manager by the Remuneration Committee.

Fixed Remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and the process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally, and where appropriate external advice on policies and practices.

Structure

Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits.

Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive

Objective

The objective of the short term incentive arrangement is to link the achievement of the company’s operational targets with the remuneration received by the executive charged with meeting those targets. The total potential short term incentive available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the senior manager to achieve the operational targets.

Structure

Actual short term incentive payments granted to each senior manager depend on the extent to which specific operating targets set at the beginning of the financial year are met. The operational targets consist of a number of key performance indicators covering both financial and non financial measures of performance. The company has predetermined benchmarks which must be met in order to trigger payments under the short term incentive arrangement.

The aggregate of annual short term incentive payments available for executives across the company is determined and approved by the Remuneration Committee. Payments are usually delivered as a cash bonus.

Montec International Limited ABN 104 600 544 and Controlled Entity

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Remuneration Report (continued)

Variable Remuneration - Long Term Incentive

Objective

The objective of the long term incentive arrangement is to reward senior managers in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

As such, long term incentive arrangements are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have a direct impact on the company’s performance against relevant long term performance hurdles.

Structure

Long term incentive grants to executives are delivered in the form of options. The Remuneration Committee determines what is the appropriate value to be provided to the executive, and delivers this in the form of options valued utilizing the Black-Scholes or Binomial option valuation models. The benefit of the long term incentive that is earned by the executive is only realised through share price appreciation, thereby aligning shareholder interest and executive reward.

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.

The Company was a party to legal proceedings during the year. These proceedings have in all cases been discontinued during the course of the financial year with no contingent asset or liability existing as at 30 June 2007 to Montec International Limited. A summary of the matters is as follows:

  • European Patents The company reached agreement with all parties to resolve the dispute involving European Patents for the manufacture and marketing of certain monounsaturated dairy products. The implications of the settlement is that the Company will no longer persue the European Patents that were the subject of the litigation.

  • Charles Stuart Baxter This matter was settled between the primary parties to the litigation, which did not involve Montec International Limited. Montec is being reimbursed for certain legal expenses incurred in defending the matter.

  • Malcolm Campbell

  • A legal dispute over certain expenses for which the former Managing Director sought reimbursement as part of his severance has been resolved. Montec International Limited was the defendant in the matter.

  • the nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .

The financial report covers the consolidated entity of Montec International Limited and controlled entities, and Montec International Limited as an individual parent entity. Montec International Limited is a listed public Company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of Montec International Limited and controlled entities, and Montec International Limited as an individual parenting entity, complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include A- IFRS, in their entirety. Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Montec International Limited. Control exists where Montec International Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Montec International Limited to achieve the objectives of Montec International Limited. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 14 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where controlled entities have entered the consolidated entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies applied by the parent entity.

Minority interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

b. Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Montec International Limited

Montec International Limited ABN 104 600 544 and Controlled Entity

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

As all the controlled entities are foreign companies Montec International Limited has not formed a tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime.

c. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

d. Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment 10% - 37.5 %

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Montec International Limited ABN 104 600 544 and Controlled Entity

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

An asset carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.

e. Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged on a straight-line basis unless another method is more representative of the time pattern of the users benefits.

f. Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Held-to-maturity investments

There is no held-to-maturity investments during the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Derivative instruments

There are no derivative instruments during the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

g. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

h. Financial assets

Non-current investments are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of non-current investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the quoted market value for listed investments or the underlying net assets for other non-listed investments. The expected net cash flows from investments have been discounted to their present value in determining the recoverable amounts.

i. Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Patents and Acquired Rights

Patents and acquired rights are recorded in the accounts at cost of acquisition and are amortised over the period in which their benefits are expected to be realised and adjusted for any impairment losses. The patents expire on 12 June 2012. The carrying amount of patents and acquired rights are reviewed annually to ensure they do not exceed the recoverable amount.

j. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

k. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the consolidated entity liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on-costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

Montec International Limited ABN 104 600 544 and Controlled Entity

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Contributions are made by the consolidated entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

The consolidated entity operates an ownership-based remuneration scheme through the employee option plan, details of which are provided in Note 25 to the financial statements.

l. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

m. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes:

  • cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts; and

  • investments in money market instruments with less than 14 days to maturity.

n. Revenue

Revenue in the form of royalties from the utilisation of technology is recognised upon the sale raw materials supplied as part of the contractual agreement with customers. Revenue is also derived from the sale of finished goods milk products into wholesales and retail channels.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

o. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

p. Comparative Figures

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

q. Going concern

Notwithstanding the net loss for the year and the accumulated losses for the company and the consolidated entity, the directors have performed a review of the cash flow forecasts and have considered the cash flow needs of the company and consolidated entity, including their ability to reduce the level of cash expenditure if required to do so. Based on this review, the directors are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties that could cast doubt on the company’s and consolidated entity’s ability to meet their debts as and when they fall due or payable for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report and hence the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate and has been used in the preparation of this financial report.

r. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.

Key Estimates

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Patent Impairment

An impairment review of both the Australian and New Zealand patents held by Montec that relate to monounsaturated dairy production has been conducted. This review indicates that the net book value of these two patents after impairment is fairly stated. This amount was assessed after discounting the currently anticipated future cash flows associated with these patents and comparing it with the net book value.

Employee Share Option Valuation

The company has used the Black-Scholes or Binomial valuation model to estimate the fair value of options granted to employees, which is in accordance with AASB 2.

Key Judgments

Stock Obsolescence Provision

Included in inventory as at 30 June 2007 is a provision for stock obsolescence relating to certain forms of packaging printed for use in China, and a quantity of monounsaturated oil and premix showing signs of deterioration. The carrying value of these raw materials is unlikely to be recovered and an obsolescence provision has been made in the accounts. The amount of the provision is $117,559.

s. Disclosure of new standards not yet operative

A number of new or revised accounting standards will require adoption in future reporting periods. Below is a summary of the standards which are considered relevant to the Consolidated Entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

AASB 8 Operating Segments - operative date 1 January 2009

AASB 8 will result in a change in the segment disclosures presented in the financial report such that the segments presented will not be based on primary and secondary segments but reflect those segments and amounts regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker. While the amounts presented in the financial statements will not change, the amounts presented in the segment reporting note may differ to those currently presented as a result of AASB 8 requiring the amounts presented to be based on those seen by the entity’s chief operating decision maker.

AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amended) - operative date 1 January 2007

An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial report to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.

The entity discloses the following:

  • a description of what it manages as capital;

  • when an entity is subject to externally imposed capital requirements: - the nature of those requirements

  • how those requirements are incorporated into the management of capital

  • how it is meeting its objectives for managing capital

  • summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital

  • any changes from the previous period

  • whether during the period it complied with any externally imposed capital requirement to which it is subject

  • when the entity has not complied with such externally imposed capital requirements, the consequences of such non-compliance

Adoption of these amendments is likely to result in increased disclosures particularly those regarding the entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital but will not impact on amounts presented in the financial statements.

AASB 2007-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Exposure Drafts - operative date 1 July 2007

These amendments arise as a result of the AASB decision that, in principle, all options that currently exist under IFRSs should be included in the Australian equivalents to IFRSs and additional Australian disclosures should be eliminated, other than those now considered particularly relevant in the Australian reporting environment.

Adoption of AASB 2007-4 will result in reduced disclosures within the financial report of the entity in particular those relating to interim financial reporting. AASB 2007-4 also provides the entity with additional recognition, measurement and presentation alternatives. The entity has not decided on the possible adoption of these alternatives and has therefore been unable to assess the financial impact of this change on the entity’s financial report in the period of initial application.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

AASB Interpretation 4 - Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease (revised) - operative date 1 January 2008

This interpretation specifies criteria for determining whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease. The determination is based on an assessment of whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset and whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Further, reassessment of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on whether there is a change in the contractual terms of the arrangement, exercise of a renewal option, an extension of the arrangement, a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset or a substantial change to the asset.

If an arrangement contains a lease, the parties to the arrangement apply the requirements of AASB 117 Leases to the lease element of the arrangement, unless exempted from those requirements by the Standard. Accordingly, if an arrangement contains a lease, that lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. Other elements of the arrangement not within the scope of AASB 117 are accounted for in accordance with other Standards.

Adoption of Interpretation 4 (revised) is unlikely to have a material impact on the entity’s financial report as the entity has no current or expected arrangements which would fall within the scope of this interpretation.

AASB Interpretation 10 - Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment - operative date 1 November 2006

AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting requires an entity to apply the same accounting policies in its interim financial report as are applied in its annual financial report. It also states that measurements for interim reporting purposes are made on a year-to-date basis so that the frequency of reporting does not affect an entity’s annual results.

However, this Interpretation clarifies that an entity cannot reverse an impairment loss recognised in a previous interim period in relation to goodwill or an investment in an equity instrument or in a financial asset carried at cost. This approach is consistent with the impairment reversal prohibitions in AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and AASB 139.

Adoption of Interpretation 10 is unlikely to have a material impact on the entity’s financial report as the entity has not experienced any impairments of the type described in interpretation 10 during any interim financial period.

AASB Interpretation 11 – AASB 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions - operative date 1 March 2007

This Interpretation addresses whether certain types of share-based payment transactions with employees (or other suppliers of good and services) should be accounted for as equity-settled or as cash-settled transactions under AASB 2. For example, the Interpretation clarifies that when an entity’s employees are granted rights to the entity’s equity instruments either by the entity or its shareholders, the transactions are accounted for as equity-settled transactions. This is so whether the entity chooses to, or is required to buy, the equity instruments from another party or the shareholders provide the necessary equity instruments.

Adoption of Interpretation 11 is unlikely to have a material impact on the entity’s financial report.

The directors estimate that the Parent Entity and its controlled entities have carry-forward income tax losses of $6,247,766 (2006: $5,069,558) available to offset against future years’ taxable income. The benefits of these losses have not been brought to account as there is no convincing evidence of future taxable profits to offset losses. The benefit will only be obtained if:

(i) The parent entity and its controlled entities derive future assessable income of the nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits from the deductions for the losses to be realised.

(ii) The parent entity and its controlled entities continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and

(iii) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the parent entity and its controlled entities in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

NOTE 5: KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

g. Compensation Practices

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of compensation of key management personnel of the company is as follows:

The compensation structure for key management personnel seeks to emphasize payment for results by ensuring that executive interests are aligned with those of the Company through equity ownership and/or entitlement.

The objective of the compensation structure is to both reinforce the short and long-term goals of the Company and to provide a common interest between management and shareholders.

The compensation structure for key management personnel is based on a number of factors, including particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the company. The contracts for service between the company and key management personnel are on a continuing basis the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future. Upon retirement key management personnel are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to date of retirement.

A notice period of three months is provided for under each executive’s service agreement, with the exception of the previous Managing Director. The previous Managing Director was on a three year contract that commenced on 12 November 2003, but which was terminated by mutual agreement on 28 July 2006.

All options have been issued in accordance with the terms provided for under each Executive Service Agreement, and as outlined in the Company’s prospectus at the time of listing. The key metrics of options on issue are detailed in Note 5, table (c) above and Note 25 below.

NOTE 16: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Impairment Disclosures – Patents and acquired rights

Patents are allocated to cash generating units which are based on the groups reporting segments. All patents recognised relate to the Australian segment. The recoverable amounts of the patents are determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value in use is calculated based on present value of cash flow projections over a 5 year period. The cash flows are discounted using the yield of 10 year government bonds at the beginning of the budget period, adjusted for a market risk premium and the company’s Weighted Average Cost Capital (WACC). The following assumptions were used in the value-inuse calculations:

Discount Rate Growth Rate
Acquired patents 17.1% 0%

Management has based the value in use calculations on budgeted results for the acquired patents. Discount rates are pre-tax and adjusted to incorporate risks associated with the company.

No cash flow after 5 years has been factored into the calculations as the Patents expire at that future point in time.

Accounting Policies

Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and include any joint revenue and expenses where a reasonable basis of allocation exists.

Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash, receivables, inventories, intangibles and property, plant and equipment, net of allowances and accumulated depreciation and amortisation. While most such assets can be directly attributed to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment liabilities consist principally of accounts payable, employee entitlements, accrued expenses, provisions and borrowings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

NOTE 25: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

There were no options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2007.

The options outstanding at 30 June 2007 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.208 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 3.25 years. Exercise prices range from $0.12 to $0.56 in respect of options outstanding at 30 June 2007.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was $0.0184.

This price was calculated by using a binomial option pricing model applying the following inputs:

- Exercise prices $0.12, $0.18 and $0.25
- Average life of the options 3.67 years
- Underlying share price $0.044
- Expected share price volatility 160%
- Risk free interest rate 5.98%

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of the future, which may not eventuate.

The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

Included under employee benefits expenses in the income statement is $381,973 (2006: $58,099), and relates, in full, to equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

Except for the following concentrations of credit risks, the consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.

c. Net Fair Values

The net fair values of unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the net fair value has been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment. For other assets and other liabilities the net fair value approximates their carrying value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF MONTEC INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Montec International Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2007, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 controls 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. In Note 1 the Directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, which require us to comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement.

Level 17, 383 Kent Street Sydney NSW 2000 PO Locked Bag Q800 QVB Post Office Sydney NSW 1230 T +61 2 8297 2400 F +61 2 9299 4445 E [email protected] W www.grantthornton.com.au

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
