OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your directors present their report, together with the financial statements of the Group, being the Company and its controlled entities for the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

Directors

The names of directors in office at any time during or since the end of the year are:

Julie Garland McLellan Appointed 1 March 2011 Christopher Michael Giles Appointed 24 September 2010 William Lewis Timms Appointed 18 December 2009 Raymond John Titman Appointed 23 July 2010 Resigned 29 February 2012 Christopher C Hext Appointed 29 June 2001 Resigned 8 July 2011

Principal Activities and Significant Changes in Nature of Activities

The principal activities of the consolidated group during the financial year were:

• manufacturing and marketing of paint brushes, paint rollers, painters tools and spray guns;

• manufacturing, marketing and exporting of garden sheds, outdoor storage systems, avaries and pet homes;

• manufacturing and marketing of scaffolding and related equipment; and

• hire of scaffolding and related products to the building and construction industry.

There were no significant changes in the nature of the consolidated group’s principal activities during the financial year.

Operating Results and Review of Operations for the year

Operating Results

The consolidated group revenue from continuing operations for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 was $28,832,631 and was down 5.7% from the prior year (2011: $30,588,286). The consolidated net result after tax attributable to members of the parent entity was a loss of $1,813,981 (2011 loss $2,834,583). Whilst revenue declined by 5.7% significant cost savings were achieved to partially mitigate the impact from the lower revenues.

Profitability was also impacted by our joint venture operation in Indonesia. This business continues to invest in growing its domestic market share in the paint applications category, and it has made good progress in growing this business making PT Ace Oldfields one of the leading brands in Indonesia.

There was a significant decline in distribution costs, some of these were activity related, some were conscious cost saving programs implemented during the year, whilst others were a reallocation of costs between distribution and administration expense.

Cash inflow from operating activities was $114,294 for the year, compared to an outflow of $1,166,033 in the prior year. This is a satisfactory result considering that trade creditors and other payables reduced by $1,020,260.

The company has embarked on a disciplined cost savings strategy to eliminate waste from the business with good progress being made during the year. The full year impact of these should be evident in the coming financial year with additional savings that have recently been identified.

Review of Operations

(i) Paint Applications Division

Trading conditions improved for the business during the reporting period with revenue growth of 2.8% compared to prior year. The expected gains from new entrants in the home improvement sector foreshadowed in last year’s annual report have started to materialise and further benefits from this are expected in the future. In June 2012, Oldfields announced price increases for many of the products in this segment to recover cost increases, the benefits of which are expected to flow in the upcoming year. This was the first price increase Oldfields had taken in this category since 2008/09. The division is also in the process of updating its packaging to give the product range a more consumer friendly and consistent theme, which will improve our presence on the retailers’ shelves. Oldfields has recently launched a range of new synthetic filament paint brushes to replace the older style bristle filament, which is a segment of the market that continues to decline, and has also embarked on a supplier rationalisation program, the benefits of which are also starting to be felt with lower product costs.

(ii) Treco Garden Sheds Division

Sales in this division increased by 3.9% from prior year for continuing operations. Sales made to many of our major customers in the domestic market declined compared to the previous year which is the result of the continued weakness in household spending, particularly relating to discretionary items such as high quality garden sheds. This category is not expected to improve in the coming year; costs have been reduced to maintain profitability.

During the year, the paint applications and sheds sales forces were merged, which will provide improved sales representation for the sheds business. This is expected to provide some upward momentum in revenues for the sheds division in the future.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT

Review of Operations (continued)

(iii) Scaffold Division

Total revenue in this category was down 11.4% compared to prior year, which reflects the slow-down in the construction sector, coupled with poor weather conditions on the east coast of Australia delaying a number of projects. Pricing in our hire segment continues to be under pressure as the level of work available declines. The business continues to focus very heavily on quality, cost and customer service. These three areas of focus are helping to offset the downturn in activity, which remains at historically low levels. The cost base of the business has been significantly reduced, as efficiencies are obtained. The merger last year of the two Brisbane facilities has delivered expected savings. In addition, the management and sales representation at a number of key branches has been strengthened and improvements in the business are becoming evident.

Sales of scaffolding were lower than prior year, primarily due to a number of large one off export orders delivered during 2011 which were not recurring. Changes to workplace, health and safety legislation in New South Wales and Queensland have resulted in some additional sales in 2012,. It is expected that further sales from these changes will eventuate in 2013 as the laws come into effect in other states over the next 2-3 years.

Whilst revenue was marginally lower in the second half of the fiscal year, profitability improved as cost reduction measures and management changes were implemented.

Gross margins were impacted by the price pressure on hire rates during the year as a result of competition in the market.

With the lower cost base, improved management and sales representation, the business is now better positioned to withstand the continued slowdown in the construction sector, and will benefit when activity improves.

(iv) Property

The properties at Archerfield, Queensland and St Marys, New South Wales were sold during the year. Consideration from the sale of these properties was used to reduce the overall debt of the Group.

Financial Position

The net assets of the consolidated group have decreased by $1,938,437 to $756,100 at 30 June 2012 (from $2,694,537 at 30 June 2011). This decrease is largely due to the following factors:

• Unsustainably high net debt;

• Continued operating losses (largely generated by debt service obligations);

• Reduced construction activity affecting income from the scaffolding division;

• • Reduced value of the Indonesian joint venture operation as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.

• The board is pursuing debt reduction strategies and have secured the support of the debt provider until such time as these strategies can be implemented. The directors believe that the group is in a stable financial position and will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs during the year.

Dividends Paid or Recommended

Since the start of the financial year there have been no dividends paid or declared.

Events after the Reporting Period

On 30 August 2012, the Group signed a new finance facility agreement with its existing debt provider that will extend to June 2015. As part of this agreement the Group will buy back $10 million of debt for a consideration $5 million. The total consideration to buy back the debt will be funded through a capital raising which involves the issue of new equity, subordinate senior loan notes or a combination of both. In addition to the debt buy back, the debt provider will swap senior debt for a Deferred Senior Loan Note (DSLN) for approximately $2,500,000 with a 10 year maturity. The terms of the loan note are disclosed in Note 33.

Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies

To improve the consolidated group’s profit and maximise shareholder wealth, the following developments are intended for implementation in the near future:

(i) Continued focus on the Group's core business and customer service to drive marketing and sales.

(ii) Completion of the agreement with the principal lender and implementation of the recapitalisation (as described above).

REMUNERATION REPORT

Remuneration policy

The remuneration policy of Oldfields Holdings Limited has been designed to align key management personnel (KMP) objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the consolidated group’s financial results. The board of Oldfields Holdings Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain high-quality KMP to run and manage the consolidated group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the consolidated group is as follows:

• The remuneration policy is to be developed by the remuneration committee and approved by the Board after professional advice is sought from independent external consultants.

• All KMP receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, options and performance incentives.

7

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT

Remuneration policy (continued)

• The remuneration committee reviews KMP packages annually by reference to the consolidated group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

The performance of KMP is measured against criteria agreed bi-annually with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the consolidated group’s profits and shareholders’ value. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the committee’s recommendations. Any change must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance results leading to long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

KMP receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

Upon retirement, KMP are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to the date of retirement.

All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to the company and expensed.

The Board's policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Performance-based Remuneration

The KPIs are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with KMP. The measures are specifically tailored to the area each individual is involved in and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas the Board believes hold greater potential for group expansion and profit, covering financial and non-financial as well as short and long-term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the Group and respective industry standards.

Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed difficulty of the KPIs achieved. Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the remuneration committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the Group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPIs are set for the following year.

In determining whether or not a KPI has been achieved, Oldfields Holdings Limited bases the assessment on audited figures, however, where the KPI involves comparison of the Group or a division within the Group to the market, independent reports are obtained from organisations such as Standard & Poors.

No performance-based remuneration has been paid during or since the end of the year for any key management personnel.

Employment Details of Members of Key Management Personnel

The following table provides employment details of persons who were, during the financial year, members of KMP of the consolidated group. The table also illustrates the proportion of remuneration that was performance and non-performance based and the proportion of remuneration received in the form of options.

The employment terms and conditions of KMP are formalised in contracts of employment.

The employment contracts stipulate a range of one to three months notice period on resignation. The Group may terminate an employment contract without cause by providing a 3-6 months written notice or making payment in lieu based on the individual's annual salary component, together with a redundancy payment between 5% - 10% of the individual's fixed salary component. Termination payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct, the Group can terminate the individual's employment contract at any time. Any options not exercised before that date will lapse.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Oldfields Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities (the “consolidated group” or “group”). The separate financial statements of the parent entity, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 31 August 2012 by the directors of the company.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under the Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Oldfields Holdings Limited and its Australian wholly-owned entities have entered into a deed of cross guarantee under which the company and it's subsidiaries guarantee the debts of each other.

Going Concern

The Group made a loss for the year ended 30 June 2012 of $1,744,035 (2011: $3,021,043). The Group has also reported a net current asset deficiency of $10,193,662 (2011: $9,177,965) which is due to the classification of bank loans as current in accordance with the requirements of AASB101 Presentation of Financial Statements (refer note 23). These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding the above, the directors' believe that the Group will continue to operate as a going concern for the following reasons: � On 30 August 2012, the Group signed a new finance facility agreement with its existing debt provider that will extend to June 2015. As part of this agreement the Group will buy back $10 million of debt for a consideration $5 million. The total consideration to buy back the debt will be funded through a capital raising which involves the issue of new equity, subordinate senior loan notes or a combination of both. In addition to the debt buy back, the debt provider will swap senior debt for a Deferred Senior Loan Note (DSLN) for approximately $2,500,000 with a 10 year maturity. The terms of the loan note are disclosed in Note 33.

• On 30 August 2012, the Group also received a debt forbearance agreement which will extend to 31 October 2012 for the above proposed capital raising;

• The directors' are working to achieve the conditions precedent in the facility agreement will be met and will continue to support the prudent management of cash whilst growing the core businesses to a level at which they will be sustainably generating positive operating cashflows; and

� The Group's debts are being paid as and when they fall due.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of liabilities that might result should the company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Oldfields Holdings Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Oldfields Holdings Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 18 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intragroup balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are reported separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

Business Combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(a) Principles of Consolidation (continued) Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

(i) the consideration transferred;

(ii) any non-controlling interest; and

(iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.

Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination.

Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interests is determined using valuation techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group's cash generating units or groups of cash generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.

Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill.

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of comprehensive income.

(b) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred it is treated as the provision of financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.

Investment property revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment.

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

(c) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(d) Income Tax

The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Tax Consolidation

Oldfields Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the 'stand-alone taxpayer' approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity.

The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the Group's taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(f) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(s) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

(h) Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. For noncurrent assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Investments in Associates

Associates are companies in which the Group has significant influence through holding, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting power of the Group. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate company. In addition, the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate company is included in the Group’s profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount on acquisition whereby the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate exceeds the cost of investment is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume recognising its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

Details of the Group’s investment in associates are shown at Note 17.

(j) Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are carried at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less accumulated depreciation for buildings.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation surplus in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are recognised against revaluation surplus directly in equity; all other decreases are recognised in profit or loss. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(s) for details of impairment).

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 that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

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

Class of Fixed Asset	Depreciation Rate
Buildings	2.5%
Leasehold improvements	20-33%
Plant and equipment	5-33%
Motor vehicles	18-20%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s 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 statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(k) Investment Property

Investment properties are held to generate long-term rental yields. All tenant leases are on an arm’s length basis. Investment properties are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. The fair value of an investment property is the amount for which the asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

Fair values of investment properties are determined annually based on a valuation by an independent valuer who has recognised and appropriate professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of investment property being valued. Fair values are determined by the valuer using market information, including prices for similar properties in comparable locations.

Changes to fair values of investment properties are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

(l) Intangibles Other than Goodwill

Patents and trademarks

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. They have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years.

Research and development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Capitalised development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

(m) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

(n) 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.

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

(o) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

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. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy any vesting requirements. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows attributable to employee benefits.

(p) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

(q) Leases

Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset (but not the legal ownership) are transferred to entities in the consolidated group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recognising an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

\

(r) Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Financial Instruments (continued)

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

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.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss.

(ii) 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 subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

(iv) Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

They are subsequently measured at fair value with any remeasurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.

• Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are expected to be sold after 12 months from the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets.

(v) Financial Liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

Derivative instruments

The Group designates certain derivatives as either:

• (i) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or

(ii) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges). At the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the group's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions is documented.

Assessments, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items are also documented.

• (i) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, together with any changes in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk.

• (ii) Cash flow hedge

• The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred to a hedge reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.

Amounts accumulated in the hedge reserve in equity are transferred to the statement of comprehensive income in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Financial Instruments (continued)

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).

In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.

When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

(s) Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.

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.

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

(t) 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 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 profit or loss, 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 other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss.

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 exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;

• 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 with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(u) 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 Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

(v) Comparative Figures

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

Where the Group has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement of items in the financial statements or reclassified items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

(w) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements 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

(i) Impairment - General

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Key Judgments

(i) Provision for Impairment of Receivables

The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors financial position.

(ii) Provision for impairment of inventories

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories, and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

(ii) Estimation of useful lives of assets

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and definite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

(x) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. The Group has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The Group’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the Group but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:

• AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

• These Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.

The key changes made to accounting requirements include:

• ─ simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;

• ─ simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;

• ─ removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;

• ─ removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;

• ─ allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;

• ─ requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and

• ─ requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these pronouncements on its financial statements.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(x) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods (continued)

• AASB 2010–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012).

• This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes and incorporates Interpretation 121: Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued NonDepreciable Assets into AASB 112.

Under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by selling it. The amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

The amendments are not expected to significantly impact the Group.

• AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011), AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011) and AASB 2011–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 101, 107, 112, 118, 121, 124, 132, 133, 136, 138, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 5, 9, 16 & 17] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) and Interpretation 112: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees.

The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of this Standard on its financial statements.

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint arrangements to be classified as either ‘joint operations’ (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or ‘joint ventures’ (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint ventures are required to adopt the equity method of accounting (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed).

AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a ‘structured entity’, replacing the ‘special purpose entity’ concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structured entities. This Standard will affect disclosures only and is not expected to significantly impact the Group.

To facilitate the application of AASBs 10, 11 and 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued. These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.

• AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 [AASB 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 2010–7, 101, 102, 108, 110, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 1004, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 131 & 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurement.

AASB 13 requires:

• inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and

• enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and financial liabilities) to be measured at fair value.

These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.

• AASB 2011–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income [AASB 1, 5, 7, 101, 112, 120, 121, 132, 133, 134, 1039 & 1049] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2012). The main change arising from this Standard is the requirement for entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently.

This Standard affects presentation only and is therefore not expected to significantly impact the Group.

• AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011–10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) [AASB 1, AASB 8, AASB 101, AASB 124, AASB 134, AASB 1049 & AASB 2011–8 and Interpretation 14] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

These Standards introduce a number of changes to accounting and presentation of defined benefit plans. The Group does not have any defined benefit plans and so is not impacted by the amendment.

AASB 119 (September 2011) also includes changes to the accounting for termination benefits that require an entity to recognise an obligation for such benefits at the earlier of:

• (i) for an offer that may be withdrawn – when the employee accepts; (ii) for an offer that cannot be withdrawn – when the offer is communicated to affected employees; and

• (iii) where the termination is associated with a restructuring of activities under AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and if earlier than the first two conditions – when the related restructuring costs are recognised.

The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these changes to AASB 119.

	3,832,690 4,303,972

(a) Provision For Impairment of Receivables

Current trade and term receivables are non-interest bearing loans and generally on 30-day terms. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade or term receivable is impaired. These amounts have been included in the distribution expenses item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Movement in the provision for impairment of receivables is as follows:

Consolidated Group Current trade receivables Consolidated Group Current trade receivables	Opening Balance Charge for the Year Amounts Written Off Closing Balance 01.07.10 30.06.11 $ $ $ $ (436,769) 62,816 126,934 (247,019)

	(247,019) 87,548 102,143 (57,328)

Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 12. The class of assets described as Trade and Other Receivables is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counter party to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.

The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill, have finite useful lives. The current amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense per the statement of comprehensive income. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life.

Impairment disclosures

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units which are based on the group’s reporting segments.

Scaffold segment Total Wholesale/retail segment	2012 2011 $ $ 140,565 140,565 838,429 838,429
	978,994 978,994

The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit above is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a 5-year period.

The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations:

Wholesale/retail segment Scaffold segment

Growth Rate	Discount Rate
3.00%	13.02%
3.00%	12.71%

Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets for each reporting segment. These budgets use historical weighted average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the period which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the segments operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular segment. No reasonable change to the key assumptions would cause the recoverable amount to exceed the carrying value of goodwill.

(b) Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a sustainable debt to equity ratio, generate long-term shareholder value and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

The group is subject to financing covenants as detailed in Note 23.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group's financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year. This strategy is to identify opportunities to reduce the Group's gearing ratio. The gearing ratios for the year ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 are as follows:

Note 29 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

The Group does not have any significant contingent liabilities or contingent assets as at 30 June 2012 or 30 June 2011.

Note 30 Operating Segments

General Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings as the diversification of the Group's operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

• the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;

• the manufacturing process;

• the type or class of customer for the products or service;

• the distribution method; and

• any external regulatory requirements.

Types of products and services by segment

• (i) Wholesale/retail

The wholesale/retail segment manufactures and markets paint brushes, paint rollers, painters tools, spray guns, Treco garden sheds, outdoor storage systems, aviaries and pet homes.

(ii) Scaffolding The scaffolding segment manufactures and markets scaffolding and related equipment. In addition, this segment is engaged in hiring scaffolding and related products to the building and construction industry.

• (iii) Consumer products The consumer products segment manufactures and distributes cleaning and personal care products. This segment ceased operation during the prior year with the orderly wind down of H&O Products Pty Ltd in October 2010.

(iv) Property

The property segment manages investment properties held by the Group. This segment ceased operation during the year with the sale of properties at Archerfield, Queensland and St Marys, New South Wales.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Note 30 Operating Segments (continued)

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

(a) Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

(b) Inter-segment transactions

All inter-segment transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group's financial statements.

Corporate charges are allocated to reporting segments based on the segment's overall proportion of revenue generation within the Group. The Board of Directors believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries.

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If intersegment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

(c) Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of the economic value from the asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

(d) Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. There have been no substantive changes in the types of risks the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Board’s objectives, policies and processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.

a. Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on the division within the Group, credit terms are generally 30 to 45 days from the invoice date.

Credit Risk Exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period, excluding the value of any collateral or other security held is equivalent to the carrying amount and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position. Credit risk also arises through the provision of financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to parties securing the liabilities of certain subsidiaries (refer Note 12(a) for details).

Collateral held by the Group securing receivables is detailed in Note 12(c).

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details with respect to credit risk of Trade and Other Receivables is provided in Note 12.

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed at Note 12.

b. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

• preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;

• monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

• maintaining a reputable credit profile; and

• managing credit risk related to financial assets.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. The bank does however maintain the right to review the facilities annually with the next annual review date being 31 July 2013. Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable on demand since the Group has no control over the timing of any potential settlement of the liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and do not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

Certain financial assets have been pledged as security for debt and their realisation into cash may be restricted subject to terms and conditions attached to the relevant debt contracts. Refer to Note 23(e) for further details.

c. Market Risk

• i. Interest rate risk

• Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.

Interest rate risk is managed using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt.

ii. Foreign exchange risk

The board and senior management regularly monitor foreign currency movements and has undertaken to use hedging contracts here appropriate to the value of up to 100% of it's US dollar requirements over a maximum 90-day period.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and commodity and equity prices. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible.

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

	Profit	Equity
Year ended 30 June 2012	$	$

Note 35 Financial Risk Management (continued)

Fair Values

Fair value estimation

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying amounts as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgment and the assumptions have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. Where securities are unlisted and no market quotes are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.

Differences between fair values and carrying amounts of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount rates being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the Group. Most of these instruments, which are carried at amortised cost (ie term receivables, held-tomaturity assets, loan liabilities), are to be held until maturity and therefore the fair value figures calculated bear little relevance to the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Oldfields Holdings Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Oldfields Holdings Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply 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. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

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 company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 company’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.

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

BDO East Coast Partnership ABN 83 236 985 726 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Oldfields Holdings Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion

In our opinion:

• (a) the financial report of Oldfields Holdings Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

• (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

• (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

• (b) the consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 ‘Going Concern’ in the financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,744,035 during the year ended 30 June 2012 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $10,193,662. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 6 to 8 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2012. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Oldfields Holdings Limited for the year ended 30 June 2012 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The board of directors of Oldfields Holdings Limited is committed to high standards of corporate governance and adopts wherever possible the principles outlined in the Corporate Governance Principles and Best Practice Recommendations with 2010 amendments, published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.

The recommendations are written in a principles based fashion and individual boards are able to choose whether to follow the recommended practices or to adopt other practices that are better suited to the individual circumstances of the Group. Given the size and specific circumstances of Oldfields Holdings Limited the Board recognises that some of the best practice recommendations are not suited to obtaining the best shareholder outcomes at the present time. This situation is monitored by the Board and the recommendations will be adopted as and when the Group’s circumstances allow.

All relevant best practice recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council have been applied for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 unless specifically disclosed below. Where a recommended practice has not been followed a detailed description of the practices adopted in its stead is provided together with a commentary on how the risks of nonadoption of the recommended practice are mitigated.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 2. STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

The board currently has three directors, comprising two non-executive directors, including the chairman, and one executive director.

The board has adopted the following principles:

• The same individual should not exercise the roles of chairman and chief executive officer;

• The board should not comprise a majority of executive directors; and

• The board should comprise persons with a broad range of skills and experience appropriate to the needs of the Group.

Recommendation 2.1 – Majority of the board should be independent directors.

Independent directors are those who are independent of management and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.

In assessing the independence of directors, an independent director is a non-executive director and:

• Is not a substantial shareholder, as defined in section 9 of the Corporations Act, of the Group or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Group;

• Has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Group or another group member, and there has been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the board;

• Has not within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Group or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; and

• Is not a material supplier or customer of the Group or other group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

At the date of this report only the chairman is an independent director.

The following directors do not meet the independence criteria listed above:

• William Lewis Timms: appointed 18[th] December 2009, currently a non-executive director and substantial shareholder;

• Christopher Charles Hext: appointed 29[th] June 2001, resigned 8[th] July 2011, formerly a non-executive director and substantial shareholder;

• Christopher Giles: appointed 24[th] September 2010, currently an executive director and shareholder; and

• Ray Titman: appointed 23[rd] July 2010, resigned 29 February 2012, formerly an executive director and shareholder.

The board manages the risk of having a majority of non-independent directors through the provision of a well-qualified independent chairman, restrictions on trading in shares, restrictions on related party transactions, a close relationship with the principal provider of debt funding and a strong independent audit with a focus on controls.

Recommendation 2.2 – The chair should be an independent director.

The current chairman, Julie Garland McLellan is an independent director.

Recommendation 2.3 – The chairman and the CEO should not be the same person.

The duties and responsibilities of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer are separate and each position is held by a different individual.

Recommendation 2.4 – The board should establish a Nomination Committee.

Given the size and requirements of the Group, the board has decided that a nomination committee is not required at this point in time. At present all members of the board consider the composition of the board and appointment of new directors.

Recommendation 2.5 – Disclose the process for evaluation of the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors.

The board has undergone a significant change in composition during the reporting period and has not completed a formal evaluation process within that period. A formal evaluation will be undertaken as a matter of course in 2013. The chairman performs an informal evaluation of individual directors and also of each board meeting. During the course of the year the following meetings were held and attended:

• Confidentiality;

• Fair dealing;

• Protection of assets;

• Compliance with laws and regulations; and

54

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 02 000 307 988

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Recommendation 3.5 - Provide information recommended in the Guide on Principal 3.

A copy of the Code of Conduct can be obtained from the Corporate Governance section of the Group’s website. A copy of the Diversity Policy can be obtained from the Corporate Governance section of the Oldfields website. The proportion of women within the company is disclosed.

Principle 4. THE BOARD SAFEGUARDS THE INTEGRITY OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer state, in writing, to the board that the Group’s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Group’s financial position and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

Recommendation 4.1 – the board should establish an audit committee.

The board has an audit committee, which:

• Has two members who are non-executive directors;

• • Has a written charter which can be obtained from the Corporate Governance section of the Group’s website; and

• Includes members who are all financially literate.

Details of the members are disclosed in the Director’s Report.

The board recognises that an independent audit committee is an important feature of good corporate governance.

55

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 02 000 307 988

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Recommendation 4.2 – The audit committee should be structured so that it consists only of non-executive directors, consists of a majority of independent directors, is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board, and has at least three members.

The audit committee:

• consists only of non-executive directors, however all directors are entitled to receive the papers of the committee and to attend meetings of the committee and to meet with the auditors;

• is chaired by an independent chairman. It is recommended that the chairman of the audit committee is not the chairman of the board. In the case of Oldfields Holdings Limited, there are only two non-executive directors on the board. One is chairman of the board and resides in Sydney and the other is a substantial shareholder and resides in Perth. The board has determined that given the need for the chairman of the audit committee to work closely with the auditors, it is more appropriate for the most independent and locally residing director to take this role. The board reviews committee composition as changes to the board occur and will review this arrangement at such times in the future.

• has two members. Given the size and structure of the board, as discussed in Recommendation 2.1, the board feels that two members both of whom are financially literate, is sufficient at this time.

The risk with a small committee is that the members will lack the diversity to raise and recognise issues. The risk with having the chairman of the board being chairman of the audit committee is that there is a lack of independent oversight due to the concentration of power and information in one person. This risk is managed through specific working arrangements with the auditors having access to the full board at any time upon their request and through ensuring that the chairman of the board and audit committee is a well-qualified independent director. It is intended to review this arrangement and adopt the recommended practice if and when the board composition changes.

Recommendation 4.3 – Audit committee should have a formal charter.

The audit committee has a formal charter, the key elements of the charter are:

• Role of the committee;

• Membership;

• Meetings;

• Responsibilities;

• Authority;

• Independence; and

• Non-audit work.

The board and audit committee closely monitor the independence of the external auditor. The audit committee meets a minimum of twice a year. The committee also meets in private, with management without the external auditor and, at a separate time, with the external auditor without management.

Recommendation 4.4 - Provide information recommended in the Guide on Principal 4.

The members of the audit committee are:

• Julie Garland McLellan (Chairman); and

• William Lewis Timms.

The details of the qualifications of the audit committee members are disclosed in the Directors’ Report.

The details of the number of audit committee meetings held are contained in the Directors’ Report.

Departures from recommendations included in Principle 4 have been disclosed in the discussion of the relevant recommendations.

Principle 5. THE BOARD MAKES TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

Recommendation 5.1 – Establish policy on ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies.

The Group has established procedures to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rules which require that when an entity becomes aware of any information concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the entity’s securities, the entity must immediately tell ASX that information.

The Shareholder Communication Strategy is available on the Oldfields website.

Principle 7. RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

Recommendation 7.1 – Companies should establish policies for the oversight and management of material business risks and disclose a summary of those policies.

RISK MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

1. Introduction

This statement provides an overview of the Group's risk management policies and internal compliance and control systems in accordance with Principle 7 of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance.

2. Responsibility

The board of directors are responsible for oversight on a regular basis of the Group's procedures and risk management policies. The responsibility of the board is codified under the Board Charter, which is available on the Group’s website. The Group also has an audit committee, the responsibilities of which are documented in the Audit Committee Charter which is also available on the Group’s website.

3. Risk Management Monitoring

The board has implemented a combination of internal policies and procedures and use of external audits to monitor risk management and its effectiveness.

3.1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's)

The board has implemented risk management policies covering areas of business risk such as:

• Work health and safety;

• Finance and treasury;

• Human resources;

• Asset protection (insurance); and

• Codes of conduct.

The policies referred to are regularly reviewed and an internal mechanism exists whereby the board and committee members have access to these reports on an internal intranet site. The board manages these risks appropriately with reference to identification, implementation and review of these risks and procedures.

3.2. External Audits

The external audit of the Group is conducted annually. There is also a formal review at least once every year. Both the audit and review are conducted by an external auditor.

The Group has a Work Health and Safety Committee which has received training and certification by external OH&S providers.

The Group engages with qualified external advisors annually in relation to asset protection. Where possible the board adopts the most practical and affordable insurance policies suitable to protect major assets of the Group.

In general an external qualified auditor and or valuers are engaged by the board in determining large asset values on acquisition of assets. An external valuation is obtained to determine and verify carrying values of investment property by an external independent registered property valuer at least every three years.

3.3. Risk Management Statements

The integrity of the Group's financial reports relies on sound business and risk control systems.

Annually, the chief executive officer (CEO), the chief financial officer (CFO) and group financial controller are required to sign a Risk Management Statement that is provided to the audit committee in writing.

The CEO and CFO sign a statement regarding the adequacy of financial controls in accordance with section 295a of the Corporations Act 2001.

The board requires management to report on the key business risks for each area of the business at each board meeting.

3.4 Internal Audit

Given the Group's size, an internal auditor is not practical. In addition the presence of executive directors on the board allows for detailed oversight of risks within each business by managers who are familiar with the risk environment but not directly involved in the management of that particular business.

60

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 02 000 307 988

RISK MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

3.5 External Covenants

The Group has voluntarily associated itself with the following self-regulated authorities:

• EOWA (Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act): The Group reports annually on targets and policy to an external agency in regards to Equal Opportunity Guidelines and Policy within the work force. The board receives and reviews this annually; and

• Australian Packaging Covenant: The Group sets targets to reduce packaging waste and environmental impact of packaging waste. Targets are set and guidelines adopted and where possible administered by management. The board reviews these targets annually.

The Group has also entered into an agreement with its principal lender (Westpac Banking Corporation) which provides external overview of financial risks by a representative of the bank.

4. Formal Risk Management Practices

The Group operates a formal process for risk management which includes:

• Risk identification;

• Risk analysis;

• Risk evaluation;

• Risk mitigation;

• Risk monitoring and reporting; and

• Risk communication.

The risk management process meets appropriate professional standards and is reviewed annually by the board of directors. The process meets, but is not limited to the requirements of Principle 7 of the ASX Principles for Good Corporate Governance.

5. Risk Reporting and Communication

Risks are reported and their monitoring and management are communicated in accordance with the diagram below:

Material Risks	General Reporting	Accountabilities
	Board of Directors
Direct risk response or accept material risk	Review and approve risk mitigation strategies or accept risk	Oversight of framework and sufficiency of reporting
	Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Implement risk response or escalate to board of directors	Review and approve risk reporting and mitigation strategies	Oversight of corporate risks and adequacy of framework
	Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Recommend material risk escalation to CEO or board of directors	Consolidate risk assessments and prepare summary reporting	Implement and monitor ERM framework and ERM system
	Finance Department
Identify and report material risks as they arise	Prepare risk assessments in accordance with ERM framework	Operationally manage risks and escalate issues

Communication

Effective risk management is reliant on the timely and open communication of actual or potential risk events across the organisation. Free and frank communication is at the heart of the Group's risk management approach, and where the processes and accountabilities described in these standards may not support a suitably rapid response to any risk, then communication should be undertaken using whatever means achieve the best outcome for the Group.

For the avoidance of doubt, Oldfields Holdings Limited has a policy of ‘not shooting the messenger’ and encourages all staff to report risks of which they are aware.
