DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT

Remuneration Policies

Remuneration levels for directors, secretaries and, if required, senior executives of the company (“the directors and senior executives”) will be competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and senior executives. The Chairperson will obtain independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the company’s remuneration strategy.

The remuneration structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration structures take into account:

  • the capability and experience of the directors and senior executives;

  • the directors and senior executives ability to control the relevant performance;

  • the entity’s performance; and

  • the amount of incentives within each directors and senior executives remuneration.

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration and short and long-term performance-based incentives.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Remuneration levels are if necessary reviewed annually by the Chairperson through a process that considers individual and overall performance of the entity. If required, external consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure the directors’ and senior executives’ remuneration is competitive in the market place.

Performance-linked remuneration

Performance linked remuneration includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward executive directors and senior executives for the results achieved during the preceding year. The short-term incentive (STI) is an “at risk” bonus provided in the form of cash, while the long-term incentive (LTI) is provided as options over ordinary shares of Monteray Group Limited under the rules of the Executive and Employee Option Plan.

Short-term incentive bonus

Each year the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer if required review the performance of the executive directors and senior executives. The performance generally includes measures relating to the entity, the relevant segment, and the individual, and include financial, people, and strategy and risk measures. The measures are chosen as they directly align the individual’s reward to the performance of the entity and to its strategy and performance.

The financial performance objectives are “profit after tax” and “return on capital” compared to budgeted amounts. The non-financial objectives vary with position and responsibility and include measures such as achieving strategic outcomes.

At the end of the financial year if required the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer assess the actual performance of the entity. The Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer may obtain independent advice on bonus levels. The results and advice are reviewed by the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer and a recommendation is then approved by the Board. The Board approves the cash incentive to be paid to the individuals.

Long-term incentive

Options are issued under the Executive and Employee Option Plan (made in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders at a general meeting dated 29 May 2001), and it provides for eligible employees to be granted options over ordinary shares at the absolute discretion of the Board.

Page 5 of 57

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

Long-term incentive (continued)

The nature of the company’s business does not always allow for the returns and results of the performance by eligible employees to be measured quantitatively on an annual basis. Therefore the decision to issue options under the Executive and Employee Option Plan is primarily based upon the eligible employees reaching certain strategic milestones with the company’s investments. Such milestones are measured against those established at the time of the initial investment. Examples may include: restructuring of a company, completion of an M&A, taking an investee company to a public listing. These types of examples may increase the long term value of the company’s investment without necessarily producing immediate profits.

In considering the entity’s performance and benefits for shareholders’ wealth, the Chairperson has regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years.

2007 2006 2005 2004 2003
Net profit/(loss)
Share price
Change in share price
Earnings per share

$0.013
$0.004
($0.001)
($321,944)
$0.009
($0.004)
($0.001)

Net profit is considered in setting the STI as one of the financial performance targets is “profit after tax”. Changes in share price and dividend are included in the total shareholder return (TSR) calculation which is one of the performance criteria assessed for the LTI. The other performance criteria assessed for the LTI is growth in earnings per share, which again takes into account the entity’s net profit and the achievement of strategic milestones.

None of the remuneration provided to directors and executives during the year was linked to achievement of a performance milestone.

Service agreements

It is the entity’s policy that service contracts for executive directors and senior executives be entered into.

A service contract with an executive director or senior executive would provide for the payment of benefits where the contract is terminated by the entity or the individual. The executive directors and senior executives would also be entitled to receive on termination of employment their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits.

A service contract would outline the components of remuneration paid to the executive directors and senior executives but would not prescribe how remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels will be reviewed each year to take into account cost-of-living changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy.

At any time the service contract can be terminated either by the entity or the executive director or senior executive providing notice for a period of time in line with market practice at the time the terms are agreed. The company may make a payment in lieu of notice for the same period of time, equal to 100% of base salary.

The executive director or senior executive would have no entitlement to termination payment in the event of removal for misconduct.

The former CEO Mr. Malcolm Park was appointed under a five year contract that allowed for termination by either party on six months notice or immediately by payment of salary in lieu of the notice period or immediately without notice in the case of misconduct.

Mr. Graham Halbish was appointed Executive Chairman of the Company for a 12 month period commencing 1 October 2006. The agreement is for a fixed term and does not provide for the payment of benefits on termination. The total remuneration payable is $150,420 inclusive of superannuation. Non-executive directors fees are not payable to Mr. Halbish for the period of the agreement.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

Non-executive directors

Total remuneration for all non-executive directors, last voted upon by shareholders, is not to exceed $150,000 per annum and fees are set based on fees paid to other non-executive directors of comparable companies. Directors’ base fees are presently set at $48,000 per annum. The company does not enter into individual contracts with nonexecutive directors.

The Chairperson received $12,000 whilst a non executive director between 1 July 2006 and 30 September 2006. Non-executive directors do not receive performance related remuneration in the form of STI’s and LTI’s. Directors’ fees cover all main board activities however, as approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 14 July 2006, five million options were issued to each of Mr. Halbish, Mr. Dart and Mr. Cole in recognition for their past services to the company, (refer Note 4 – Share Based Payments).

The Company does not have a Director’s Retirement Scheme in place at present.

To fulfil this role, the Board is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of the entity including formulating its strategic direction, approving and monitoring capital expenditure, setting remuneration, appointing, removing and creating succession policies for directors and senior executives, establishing and monitoring the achievement of management’s goals and ensuring the integrity of internal control and management information systems. It is also responsible for approving and monitoring other reporting.

During the financial year the Board retained responsibility for operation and administration of the company through the appointment of the Chairman to an executive position within the company on 1 October 2006 for a 12 month period. On 2 April 2007 a Chief Executive Officer was appointed. The Chief Executive Officer has assumed responsibility for the operation and administration of the company and reports to the Board. The Board will review the performance of the Chief Executive Officer annually.

Board Processes

The Board has assumed the responsibilities an Audit Committee. The Board has not established a Nomination Committee or a Remuneration Committee because of the limited size and nature of operations of the company, the Board itself undertakes these responsibilities. The Board has established a framework for the management of the company including a system of internal control, a business risk management process and the establishment of appropriate ethical standards.

The full Board currently holds twelve scheduled meetings each year and any extraordinary meetings at such other times as may be necessary to address any specific significant matters that may arise.

The agenda for meetings is prepared in conjunction with the Chairperson. Standing items include the financial reports, strategic matters, governance and compliance. Submissions are circulated in advance.

Director Education

The entity does not have a formal process to educate new directors about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy and the expectations of the Company concerning performance of directors. However, when the company expands its present business activities a formal process will be initiated to educate new and existing Directors to gain a better understanding of business operations.

Independent Professional Advice and Access to Company Information

Each director has the right of access to all relevant company information and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairperson, may seek independent professional advice from a suitably qualified adviser at the Company’s expense. The director must consult with an advisor suitably qualified in the relevant field, and obtain the Chairperson’s approval of the fee payable for the advice before proceeding with the consultation. A copy of the advice received by the director is made available to all other members of the Board.

Composition of the Board

The names of the directors of the company in office at the date of this report are set out in the Directors’ Report on page 2 of this report.

Page 12 of 57

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Composition of the Board (continued)

The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles:

  • the Board should comprise not more than ten directors and not less than three directors. This number may be increased where it is felt that additional expertise is required in specific areas, or when an outstanding candidate materialises;

  • a majority of directors having extensive knowledge of the company’s industries, and those which do not have extensive expertise in significant aspects of auditing and financial reporting, or risk management of large companies;

  • a non-executive independent director is appointed as Chairperson. (The chairperson was appointed an executive of the company on 1 October 2006 for a 12 month period in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer);

  • the Board should comprise directors with a broad range of expertise both nationally and internationally;

  • • directors appointed by the Board are subject to election by shareholders at the following annual general meeting and thereafter directors (other than the Managing Director) are subject to re-election at least every three years. The tenure for executive directors is linked to their holding of executive office.

An independent director is a director who is not a member of management (a non-executive director) and who:

  • holds less than 5% of the voting shares of the company and is not an officer of, or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a shareholder of more than 5% of the voting shares of the company;

  • has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the company or another group member, or been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment;

  • within the last three years has not been a principal or employee of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the company or another group member;

  • is not a material supplier or customer of the company or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a material supplier or customer;

  • has no material* contractual relationship with the company or another group member other than as a director of the company;

  • is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially* interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of the company.

  • the Board considers ‘material’, in this context, to be where any director-related business relationship has represented, or is likely in the future to represent the lesser of at least 10% of the relevant segment’s or the director-related business’ revenue. The Board considered the nature of the relevant industries’ competition, and the size and nature of each director-related business relationship, in arriving at this threshold.

Remuneration

The Board assumes the role of the remuneration committee and the Chairperson reviews remuneration packages and policies applicable to the directors and employees.

Chairperson is also responsible for share option schemes, incentive performance packages, superannuation entitlements, retirement and termination entitlements, fringe benefits policies and professional indemnity and liability insurance policies none of which are applicable to the Company at the present time.

The total remuneration for all non-executive directors, last voted upon by shareholders, is not to exceed $150,000 per annum. The current remuneration for each non-executive director is $48,000 per annum. Non-executive directors do not receive bonuses nor are they issued options on securities however, as approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 14 July 2006, five million options were issued to each of Mr. Halbish, Mr. Dart and Mr. Cole in recognition for their past services to the company, (refer Note 4 – Share Based Payments). The Chairperson in his role as the Executive Chairperson receives remuneration of $150,420 per annum inclusive of superannuation for a fixed term of one year from 1 October 2006.

Remuneration Report

The remuneration report is set out on pages 5 to 9 and forms part of the directors’ report for the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Audit Committee

The Board assumes the role of the Audit Committee. The Company has a documented Audit Committee charter, approved by the Board. The external auditors, and the Board conduct the equivalent to Audit Committee meetings. The auditors and Board met twice during the year and the attendance record is disclosed in the table of directors’ meetings.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have declared in writing to the Board that the financial records of the company for the financial year have been properly maintained, the company’s financial reports for the year ended 30 June 2007 comply with accounting standards and present a true and fair view of the company’s financial condition and operational results. These declarations are required annually.

The external auditor met with the Board twice during the year.

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee as assumed by the Board include:

  • reviewing the annual, half year concise financial reports and other financial information distributed externally. This includes approving new accounting policies to ensure compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and generally accepted accounting principles, and assessing whether the financial information is adequate for shareholder needs;

  • assessing corporate risk assessment processes;

  • reviewing the company’s policies and procedures for convergence with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards for reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2005;

  • assessing the performance and objectivity of the internal audit function;

  • assessing whether non-audit services provided by the external auditor are consistent with maintaining the external auditor’s independence. Each reporting period the external auditor provides an independence declaration in relation to the audit or review;

  • providing advice to the Board in respect of whether the provision of the non-audit services by the external auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence of auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001;

  • assessing the adequacy of the internal control framework and the company’s code of ethical standards;

  • organising, reviewing and reporting on any special reviews deemed necessary by the Board;

  • reviewing the nomination and performance of the external auditor. The external auditors were appointed in 1989. The lead external audit engagement partner was last rotated in the 2005 financial year;

  • monitoring the procedures to ensure compliance with Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules and all other regulatory requirements; and

  • addressing any matters outstanding with auditors, Australian Taxation Office, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, ASX and financial institutions.

The Board reviews the performance of the external auditors on an annual basis and normally meets with them during the year to:

  • discuss the external audit plans, identifying any significant changes in structure, operations, internal controls or accounting policies likely to impact the financial statements and to review the fees proposed for the audit work to be performed;

  • review the half yearly and preliminary final report prior to lodgement with the ASX, and any significant adjustments required as a result of the auditor’s findings, and to recommend Board approval of these documents, prior to announcement of results;

  • review the draft annual and half year financial report, and recommend board approval of the financial report; and

  • review the results and findings of the auditor, the adequacy of accounting and financial controls, and to monitor the implementation of any recommendations made.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Risk Management

Oversight of the Risk Management System

The Board has implemented a Risk Management System for assessing, monitoring and managing operational, financial reporting, and compliance risks for the Company because of the limited size and scope of the Company’s operations. The Board has assessed the financial reporting risk management and associated compliance and controls and found them to be operating efficiently and effectively. The operational and other risk management compliance and controls, have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively. All risk assessments covered the whole financial year and the period up to the signing of the annual financial report for all material operations in the entity, and material associates and joint ventures.

Risk Profile

The risk management program is aimed at ensuring risks are identified, assessed and appropriately managed. Major risks for the entity arise from such matters as actions by competitors, government policy changes, environment, occupational health and safety, property, financial reporting, and the purchase, development and use of information systems.

Financial risk exposures arise in the course of the day-to-day operating activities of the entity, largely due to cash flow and interest rate movements. The primary objective of financial exposure management is to reduce the volatility of cash flows and asset values arising from such movements. The cash funds invested by the company are generally in short term investments with Australian banks.

Risk Management and Compliance and Control

The Board is responsible for the overall internal control framework, but recognises that no cost effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The Board’s policy on internal controls is comprehensive and comprises the company’s internal compliance and control systems, including:

  • financial reporting – there is a budgeting system with an annual budget approved by the directors. Monthly actual results are reported against budget and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly. The entity reports to shareholders half yearly;

  • continuous disclosure – the entity has a policy that all shareholders and investors have equal access to the company’s information and has procedures to ensure that all price sensitive information is disclosed to the ASX in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Listing Rules;

  • a comprehensive process is in place to identify matters that may have a material effect on the price of the company’s securities and notify them to the Board;

  • the Company Secretary is responsible for interpreting the company’s policy and where necessary informing the Board,

  • the Company Secretary is responsible for all communications with the ASX.

Risk Management and Compliance and Control continued

  • investment appraisal – the entity has clearly defined guidelines for capital expenditure. These include detailed appraisal and review procedures, levels of authority and due diligence requirements where businesses are being acquired or divested.

Comprehensive practices have been established to ensure:

  • capital expenditure and revenue commitments above a certain size obtain prior Board approval;

  • business transactions are properly authorised and executed;

  • financial reporting accuracy and compliance with the financial reporting regulatory framework.

Financial Reporting

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have declared, in writing to the Board that the company’s financial reports are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board.

Monthly actual results are reported against budgets and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly.

Risk Management (continued)

Environmental Regulation

The entity aims to ensure that the highest standard of environmental care is achieved. The Board aims to ensure that the entity and associated investments’ environmental policies are adhered to and are in compliance with all relevant environmental legislation.

The company’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State legislation.

Assessment of Effectiveness of Risk Management

The Board ensures compliance of the internal controls and risk management programs by reviewing the effectiveness of the compliance and control systems.

Ethical Standards

All directors, executives and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the entity. The Board reviews the Ethical Standards policy regularly and processes are in place to promote and communicate these policies.

Conflict of Interest

Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the company. The Board has developed procedures to assist directors to disclose potential conflicts of interest.

Where the Board believes that a significant conflict exists for a director on a Board matter, the director concerned is not present at the meeting whilst the item is considered. Details of director-related entity transactions with the entity are set out in Note 22.

Code of Conduct

The entity has advised each director, executive and employee that they must comply with the Ethics Standards policy. The policy covers the following:

  • aligning the behaviour of the Board and management with the code of conduct by maintaining appropriate core company values and objectives;

  • fulfilling responsibilities to shareholders by delivering shareholder value;

  • usefulness of financial information by maintaining appropriate accounting policies and practices and disclosure;

  • employment practices such as occupational health and safety, employment opportunity, the level and structure of remuneration, and conflict resolution;

  • responsibilities to the community, such as environmental protection policies, supporting the community activities and sponsorships and donations;

  • responsibilities to the individual, such as privacy, use of privileged or confidential information, and conflict resolution;

  • compliance with legislation including policies on legal compliance in countries where the legal systems and protocols are significantly lower than Australia’s;

  • conflicts of interest;

  • corporate opportunities such as preventing directors and key executives from taking advantage of property, information or position for personal gain;

  • confidentiality of corporate information;

  • fair dealing;

  • protection and proper use of company’s assets;

  • compliance with laws; and

  • reporting of unethical behaviour.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Ethical Standards (continued)

In summary, the Continuous Disclosure policy operates as follows:

  • the Company Secretary is responsible for interpreting the company’s policy and where necessary informing the Board. The Company Secretary is responsible for all communications with the ASX. Such matters are advised to the ASX on the day they are discovered, and all senior executives must follow a continuous disclosure discovery process, which involves monitoring all areas of the entity’s internal and external environment;

  • the annual financial report is distributed to all shareholders (unless a shareholder has specifically requested not to receive the document), including relevant information about the operations of the entity during the year, changes in the state of affairs of the entity and details of future developments;

  • the half yearly report contains summarised financial information and a review of the operations of the entity during the period. The half year reviewed financial report is lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the ASX, and sent to any shareholder who requests it;

  • proposed major changes in the entity which may impact on share ownership rights are submitted to a vote of shareholders;

  • notices of all meetings of shareholders; and

  • the external auditor attends the annual general meetings to answer any questions concerning the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, accounting policies adopted by the company and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

All of the above information, including that of the previous three years, is made available upon request to all shareholders who lodge their contact details with the company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MONTERAY GROUP LIMITED

==> picture [84 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Scope

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Monteray Group 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 for both Monteray Group Limited and 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(i), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, that compliance with 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. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibility is to also express an opinion on the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report based on our audit.

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 circumstances, 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 and the remuneration disclosures in the directors’ report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

PKF is a national association of independent chartered accounting and consulting firms, each trading as PKF. PKF Australia Ltd is also a member of PKF International, an association of legally independent chartered accounting and consulting firms.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

INTRODUCTION

Monteray Group Limited is a listed public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Operations and principal activities

Operations comprise commercialising the GPen superannuation administration software platform and investigating and assessing possible investment opportunities.

Scope of financial statements

The consolidated financial statements cover Monteray Group Limited as an individual entity, and together with its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity for the year ended 30 June 2007. Monteray Group Limited is the parent company within the consolidated group.

Currency

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and rounded to the nearest one dollar.

Registered office

Level 18, 50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, Queensland 4217

Authorisation of financial report

The financial report was authorised for issue on 21 September 2007 by the directors.

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(i) Overall Policy

The principal accounting policies adopted by Monteray Group Limited are stated in order to assist in a general understanding of the financial report.

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 . The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with the IFRSs and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Significant Judgments and Key Assumptions

The preparation of 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. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:

Note 10 - Acquisition of subsidiary and intangible assets

Note 4 - Share-based payments

Note 13 - Intangible assets

Page 26 of 57

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(i) Overall Policy (continued)

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

The comparative consolidated financial statements presented for the 2006 financial year were prepared using the equity method of accounting to include Monteray Group Limited’s 36.34% share of the income and expenses of its then associate company GPen Pty Ltd. Monteray Group Limited acquired a 100% interest in GPen in July 2006 and the 30 June 2007 consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GPen Pty Ltd on a consolidated basis from 1 July 2006.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. In the Company's financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost.

(ii) Revenue Recognition

(a) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In most cases this coincides with the transfer of legal title or the passing of possession to the buyer.

(b) Rendering of services

When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction is recognised by reference to the percentage of the services performed.

(c) Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. It includes the amortisation of any discount or premium.

(iii) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method whereby:

  • the tax consequences of recovering (settling) all assets (liabilities) are reflected in the financial statements;

  • current and deferred tax is recognised as income or expense except to the extent that the tax relates to equity items or to a business combination;

  • a deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to realise the asset; and

  • deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability settled.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(iv) Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and no longer controlled by the entity.

A financial liability is removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Upon initial recognition a financial asset or financial liability is designated as at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information, because either:

  • (i) it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on different bases.

  • (ii) a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to key management personnel.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are not designated as at fair value though profit or loss.

A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability classified as at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets not measured at fair value comprise:

  • (a) loans and receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  • (b) held-to-maturity investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that will be held to maturity. These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  • (c) investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. These are measured at cost.

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets which are designated as available-for-sale or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss.

A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset is recognised directly in equity, through the statement of changes in equity (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses) until the financial asset is derecognised at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

Purchases of financial assets are accounted for as follows:

  • financial assets held for trading - at trade date

  • held-to-maturity investments - at trade date

  • loans and receivables - at trade date

  • available-for-sale financial assets - at trade date

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(iv) Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (continued)

Except for the following all financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

  • (a) financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

  • (b) financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or is accounted for using the continuing involvement approach.

The amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus cumulative amortisation of any difference between the initial amount and maturity amount and minus any write-down for impairment or uncollectibility.

(v) Trade and other receivables

Trade accounts and notes receivable and other receivables represent the principal amounts due at balance date plus accrued interest and less, where applicable, any unearned income and provisions for doubtful accounts.

(vi) Investments in Associates

An associate is an entity over which the economic entity has significant influence.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method (refer (vii) below) except when the investment is classified as held for sale in which case it is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

(vii) Equity Method of Accounting for Investments

The equity method is a method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the investor's share in net assets of the investee. The profit or loss of the investor includes the investor's share of the investee profit or loss after tax.

(viii) Property, Plant and Equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying amount values exceeds the estimated recoverable amount the assets are written down to the recoverable amounts.

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the 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 Office equipment 10% - 33% Furniture & Fittings 10% - 25% Computer Software 40%

Page 29 of 57

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(ix) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are identified and recognised separately at fair value at the date of acquisition.

Intellectual property

Intellectual property in the GPen software (as disclosed in Note 10) is deemed to have a finite useful life. Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the remaining useful life.

Class of Intangible Asset

Amortisation Rate

Intellectual property

10% per annum

Intangible assets are tested annually for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. Useful lives are examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

The remaining amortisation period for the GPen software is 9 years.

(x) Trade and other payables

Trade accounts and other payables and accrued liabilities represented the principal amounts outstanding at balance date plus, where applicable, any accrued interest.

(xi) Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowings.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.

Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised and as well as through the amortisation process.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

(xii) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the economic entity's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave, which will be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on costs.

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

(xiii) Share-based payment arrangements

Goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction are recognised as a increase in equity if the goods or services were received in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction or as a liability if the goods and services were acquired in a cash settled share-based payment transaction.

Page 30 of 57

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(xiii) Share-based payment arrangements (continued)

For equity-settled share-based transactions, goods or services received are measured directly at the fair value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably. If a reliable estimate cannot be made the value of the goods or services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted.

Transactions with employees and others providing similar service are measured by reference to the fair value at grant date of the equity instrument granted.

(xiv) Contingent Liabilities

A contingent loss is recognised as an expense and a liability if it is probable that future events will confirm that after taking into account any related probable recovery, an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred and, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the resulting loss can be made.

(xv) Events after the Balance Sheet Date

Assets and liabilities are adjusted for events occurring after the balance date that provide evidence of conditions existing at the balance date.

(xvi) Going Concern

The Directors are developing and commercialising the GPen superannuation administration platform as well as continuing to investigate other various business opportunities. They have access to funding to meet the operating costs of the Company.

The company’s largest shareholder Charter Pacific Corporation Limited has undertaken to provide financial support to the company, to continue its operations until it has sufficient working capital either from business operations or capital raisings to fund its activities.

The Directors have reviewed the forecasts and budgets for the next twelve months and consider that the development of the business suggests that if the budget is achieved the company will generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations and if the low end of the forecasts are achieved that with the support provided by Charter Pacific Corporation Ltd in the next twelve months the company will be able to meet its commitments and carry out its business plan.

(xvii) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet effective

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2007, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report:

  • AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (August 2005) replaces the presentation requirements of financial instruments in AASB 132. AASB 7 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007, and will require extensive additional disclosures with respect to the Group’s financial instruments and share capital.

  • AASB 2005-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (September 2005) makes consequential amendments to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation , AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , AASB 114 Segment Reporting , AASB 117 Leases , AASB 133 Earnings Per Share , AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement , AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts arising from the release of AASB 7. AASB 2005-10 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007 and is expected to only impact disclosures contained within the consolidated financial report.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(xvii) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet effective (continued)

  • AASB 8 Operating Segments replaces the presentation requirements of segment reporting in AASB 114 Segment Reporting . AASB 8 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and is not expected to have an impact on the financial results of the Company and the Group as the standard is only concerned with disclosures.

  • AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 makes amendments to AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations , AASB 107 Cash Flow Statements , AASB 119 Employee Benefits , AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements , AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting , AASB 136 Impairment Assets and AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts . AASB 2007-3 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and must be adopted in conjunction with AASB 8 Operating Segments . This standard is only expected to impact disclosures contained within the financial report.

  • Interpretation 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment prohibits the reversal of an impairment loss recognised in a previous interim period in respect of goodwill, an investment in an equity instrument or a financial asset carried at cost. Interpretation 10 will become mandatory for the Group’s 2008 financial statements. The Group has not recognised an impairment loss in relation to goodwill, investments in equity instruments or financial assets carried at cost in an interim reporting period nor subsequently reversed the impairment loss in the annual report. Application of the interpretation will therefore have no current impact on the Group’s or the parent entity’s financial statements.

  • Interpretation 11 AASB 2 Share-based Payment -- Group and Treasury Share Transactions addresses the classification of a share-based payment transaction (as equity or cash settled), in which equity instruments of the parent or another group entity are transferred, in the financial statements of the entity receiving the services. Interpretation 11 will become mandatory for the Group’s 2008 financial report. Interpretation 11 is not expected to have any impact on the consolidated financial report. The potential effect of the Interpretation on the Company’s financial report has not yet been determined.

  • AASB 2007-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation II amends AASB 2 Share-based Payments to insert the transitional provisions of IFRS 2, previously contained in AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards . AASB 2007-1 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007 and is not expected to have any impact on the consolidated financial report. The potential impact on the Company has not yet been determined.

  • Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements addresses the accounting for service concession operators, but not grantors, for public to private service concession arrangements. Interpretation 12 will apply for the Group’s 2009 financial report. The potential effect of the interpretation on the financial report has not yet been determined. At this time an entity must adopt the revised Interpretation 4 Determining when an arrangement contains a lease and Interpretation 129 Service Concession Arrangements: Disclosures .

  • AASB 2007-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation 12 makes amendments to AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards , AASB 117 Leases , AASB 118 Revenue , AASB 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates , AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statement , and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . AASB 2007- 2 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008 and must be applied at the same time as Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements.

  • AASB 2007-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards also amends references to “UIG Interpretation” to interpretations. This amending standard is applicable to annual reporting periods ending on or after 28 February 2007.

Directors' and Executive Officers’ Remuneration

Loans and other transactions with specified directors and specified executives

Loans

There were no loans outstanding at the reporting date to directors.

There were no loans made, guaranteed or secured by any entity in the economic entity to any of the directors.

Remuneration Policies

Remuneration levels for directors, secretaries and if required senior executives of the company (“the directors and senior executives”) will be competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and senior executives. The Chairperson will obtain independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the company’s remuneration strategy.

The remuneration structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration structures take into account:

  • the capability and experience of the directors and senior executives;

  • the directors and senior executives ability to control the relevant performance;

  • the entity’s performance; and

  • the amount of incentives within each directors and senior executives remuneration.

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration and short and longterm performance-based incentives.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Remuneration levels are if necessary reviewed annually by the Chairperson through a process that considers individual and overall performance of the entity. If required external consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure the directors’ and senior executives’ remuneration is competitive in the market place.

Performance-linked remuneration

Performance linked remuneration includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward executive directors and senior executives for the results achieved during the preceding year. The short-term incentive (STI) is an “at risk” bonus provided in the form of cash, while the long-term incentive (LTI) is provided as options over ordinary shares of Monteray Group Limited under the rules of the Executive and Employee Option Plan.

Short-term incentive bonus

Each year the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer if required review the performance of the executive directors and senior executives. The performance generally includes measures relating to the entity, the relevant segment, and the individual, and include financial, people, and strategy and risk measures. The measures are chosen as they directly align the individual’s reward to the performance of the entity and to its strategy and performance.

The financial performance objectives are “profit after tax” and “return on capital” compared to budgeted amounts. The non-financial objectives vary with position and responsibility and include measures such as achieving strategic outcomes.

22 RELATED PARTIES (continued)

Directors' and Executive Officers’ Remuneration (continued)

Short-term incentive bonus (continued)

At the end of the financial year if required the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer assess the actual performance of the entity. The Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer may obtain independent advice on bonus levels. The results and advice are reviewed by the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer and a recommendation is then approved by the Board. The Board approves the cash incentive to be paid to the individuals.

Long-term incentive

Options are issued under the Executive and Employee Option Plan (made in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders at a general meeting dated 29 May 2001), and it provides for eligible employees to be granted options over ordinary shares at the absolute discretion of the Board.

The nature of the company’s business does not always allow for the returns and results of the performance by eligible employees to be measured quantitatively on an annual basis. Therefore the decision to issue options under the Executive and Employee Option Plan is primarily based upon the eligible employees reaching certain strategic milestones with the company’s investments. Such milestones are measured against those established at the time of the initial investment. Examples may include: restructuring of a company, completion of an M&A, taking a company to a public listing. These types of examples may increase the long term value of the company’s investment without necessarily producing immediate profits.

In considering the entity’s performance and benefits for shareholders’ wealth the Chairperson has regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years.

Net profit is considered in setting the STI as one of the financial performance targets is “profit after tax”. Changes in share price and dividend are included in the total shareholder return (TSR) calculation which is one of the performance criteria assessed for the LTI. The other performance criteria assessed for the LTI is growth in earnings per share, which again takes into account the entity’s net profit and the achievement of strategic milestones.

None of the remuneration provided to directors and executives during the year was linked to achievement of a performance milestone.

Service agreements

It is the entity’s policy that service contracts for executive directors and senior executives be entered into. A service contract with an executive director or senior executive would provide for the payment of benefits where the contract is terminated by the entity or the individual. The executive directors and senior executives would also be entitled to receive on termination of employment their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits.

Directors' and Executive Officers’ Remuneration (continued)

Service agreements (continued)

A service contract would outline the components of remuneration paid to the executive directors and senior executives but would not prescribe how remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels will be reviewed each year to take into account cost-of-living changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy.

At any time the service contract can be terminated either by the entity or the executive director or senior executive providing notice for a period of time in line with market practice at the time the terms are agreed. The company may make a payment in lieu of notice for the same period of time, equal to 100% of base salary.

The executive director or senior executive would have no entitlement to termination payment in the event of removal for misconduct.

The former CEO Mr. Malcolm Park was appointed under a five year contract that allowed for termination by either party on six months notice or immediately by payment of salary in lieu of the notice period or immediately without notice in the case of misconduct.

Mr. Graham Halbish was appointed Executive Chairman of the Company for a 12 Month period commencing 1 October 2006. The agreement is for a fixed term and does not provide for the payment of benefits on termination. The total remuneration payable is $150,420 inclusive of superannuation. Non-executive directors fees are not payable to Mr. Halbish for the period of the agreement.

Non-executive directors

Total remuneration for all non-executive directors, last voted upon by shareholders, is not to exceed $150,000 per annum and fees are set based on fees paid to other non-executive directors of comparable companies. Directors’ base fees are presently set at $48,000 per annum. The company does not enter into individual contracts with non-executive directors.

The Chairperson received $12,000 whilst a non executive director between 1 July 2006 and 30 September 2006. Non-executive directors do not receive performance related remuneration in the form of STI’s and LTI’s. Directors’ fees cover all main board activities however, as approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 14 July 2006, five million options were issued to each of Mr. Halbish, Mr. Dart and Mr. Cole in recognition for their past services to the company, (refer Note 4 – Share Based Payments)

The Company does not have a Director’s Retirement Scheme in place at present.
