Company Secretary
The company secretaries in office for the parent entity at any time during or since the end of the year are:
Angela Stevens

Keong Chan
Appointed company secretary on 8 February 2010
The company secretaries have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.
The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were the ongoing market development of the Company’s Nutrimix Product, most specifically through its licence agreement with the Timms Cho Group who are developing a substantial Biodiesel project in China which would utilise the product. Additionally the company signed an agreement in the Middle East whereby it would produce its Nutrimix Product in Australia and sale and market it to companies within the United Arab Emirates. The Company also continued with trials of its product.
Significant changes in the nature of the Group’s principal activities during the financial year occurred as a result of the Global Financial Crisis, in turn diminishing the Company’s planned marketing and sales activities of its Nutrimix product.
The consolidated loss for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to ($28,967,986) (2008: ($1,098,434)).
A review of the operations of the Group during the financial year and the results of those operations found that the effect of the global financial crisis have seen a decrease in revenues of 100.00% to nil. This has affected the Group’s operating loss before tax which has increased on last year by 4446.25% to a loss of ($28,149,976).
The Group’s net asset position has decreased by 126.41% to ($5,999,861) as at 30 June 2009 (2008: $22,715,043) due to the aforementioned loss.
No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year.

Directors’ Report
Likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
The directors have considered the recently enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the company for the current, nor subsequent, financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.
No options to shares in the Group have been granted during the financial year and there were no options outstanding at the end of the financial year.
No director has received or become entitled to receive, during or since the financial period, a benefit because of a contract made by the Group, controlled entities or a related body corporate with a director, a firm of which a director is a member or an entity in which a director has a substantial financial interest except as a full-time employee of the Group, controlled entity or related body corporate.
During or since the end of the financial year the Group has not given an indemnity or entered an agreement to indemnify, or paid or agreed to pay insurance premiums.
No person has applied for leave of court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group or intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or any part of those proceedings.
The Group was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.
Remuneration Report
This report details the nature and amount of the remuneration for each key management person of Soil Sub Technologies Ltd and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration for 30 June 2008. As the current directors were not the directors at the financial year end for the 30 June 2009, it was determined that as some of the required information was unavailable due to the information and knowledge residing with the previous directors as the accounting records may have been incomplete details of remuneration for 30 June 2009 have been excluded.
Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy, which sets the terms and conditions for the key management personnel, was developed by the board of directors after seeking professional advice from independent consultants and was approved by the board. All executives receive a base salary, superannuation, fringe benefits, performance incentives and retirement benefits. The board of directors reviews executive packages annually by reference to company performance, executive performance, comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies and independent advice. The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed half yearly which is based on the forecast growth of the company’s profits and shareholders value. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre executives and reward them for performance which results in longterm growth in shareholder value.
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.
All remuneration paid to executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.
The board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the company being able to attract and retain the best executives to run the consolidated group. It will also provide executives with the necessary incentives to work to grow long-term shareholder value.

Directors’ Report
The payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the board as part of the review of executive remuneration. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The board can exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria.
Performance based remuneration
As part of each number of the key management personnel’s remuneration package there is a performance-based component, consisting of key performance indicators (KPIs). The intention of this program is to facilitate goal congruence between key management personnel with that of the business and shareholders. The KPIs are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with key management personnel to ensure buy-in. The measures are specifically tailored to the areas each key management personnel 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 board 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.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration.
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executivg�. This will be achieved via offering performance incentives based on key performance indicators.
The company is continuing to develop its product and to date the directors and executives of the company have been focussing on securing distribution agreements and the listing of the company on the Australian Securities Exchange. In view of this, and the current stage of development of the company, an analysis of revenue growth is not considered appropriate and has not been provided.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2009
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Soil Sub Technologies Limited and controlled entities (‘Consolidated’ or ‘Group’), and the separate financial statements and notes of Soil Sub Technologies Limited as an individual parent entity (‘Parent Entity’).
a. Limitations on Preparation
On 2 April 2009 the Company appointed an Administrator. The Administrator’s appointment was to Soil Sub Technologies Limited and did not extend to the subsidiary company, Nutrimix Distribution Pty Limited. The Administrators were appointed before the due date for the preparation of these accounts. The current Company Directors were not Directors as at the Reporting Date, nor were they parties involved with the Company.
Every reasonable effort has been made by the Directors to ascertain the true position of Soil Sub Technologies Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) and its controlled entities (“the Group”) as at 30 June 2009. However, there may be information that the Directors have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material on the accounts.
b. Basis of Preparation
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 to the extent possible described in note 1(a). Soil Sub Technologies Limited is a listed public company (suspended), incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going Concern
The balance sheet of the Group as at 30 June 2009 discloses a net working capital deficiency of (5,999,861).
The Group incurred a loss from ordinary activities of for the period ended 30 June 2009 of (28,967,986) (2008: (1,098,434)).
On 2 March 2009 the securities of Soil Sub Technologies Limited (SOI) were suspended from official quotation on the Official List of the Australian Stock Exchange (“the ASX”) as a result of the failure of the consolidated group to lodge December 2008 Half Yearly accounts as required.
On 2 April 2009 Richard Albarran and Blair Pleash of Hall Chadwick in Queensland were appointed as Voluntary Administrators by the Directors of the Company at that time. The appointment of the administrators was not made in relation to any of the Company’s subsidiaries.
At a meeting of the Company’s creditors on 20 July 2009, the creditors of the Company approved the execution of a Deed of Company Arrangement (“DOCA”) proposed by Trident .

13
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
The DOCA assists the Administrator to raise funds for the benefit of the creditors by causing SST to enter into a Reconstruction Deed with Trident Capital, a party experienced in such reconstructions.
The proposal put forward by Trident was adjusted with approval received from creditors at a meeting held on 5 January 2010 and evidenced by a Deed of Variation for the DOCA executed on 20 January 2010, and a Deed of Variation for the Reconstruction Deed executed on 20 January 2010.
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
A notice of meeting to shareholders was sent to all shareholders on 25 January 2010, for a meeting held on 25 February 2010. The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because under the Trident Proposal the purpose is to;
-
Consolidate existing capital on a 1 for 5 basis such that the 89,564,434 shares on issue when the Group was placed in administration will be consolidated to 17,912,434 shares;
-
Issue of 100 million Shares at an issue price of $0.001 (0.1 cents) each to raise $100,000; and
-
Issue of 250 million Shares at an issue price of $0.01 (1 cent) each to raise $2.5 million.
In raising this capital the Group will then make payment of $515,000 to the Creditor’s Trust to effectuate the DOCA with the Administrators, thereby allowing them to resign as Administrators of the Company and allowing the Company to relist on the ASX. The capital was raised and the offer was closed on the 25 March 2010.
The ability of the Company and the consolidated group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital and receiving licence fees or revenue from the sale of its Nutrimix Products.
Upon effectuation of the DOCA and all conditions associated with the reinstatement of the shares on the ASX, the Company’s securities will be reinstated on the ASX.
It should be noted that as at the date of this report the capital has been raised and the DOCA has been effectuated.
Accordingly the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. To the extent that the Group is not successful in raising capital, or in gaining reinstatement to official quotation on the ASX there is a level of uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to continue to operate as a going concern.
c. Principles of Consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Soil Sub Technologies Limited (“Soil Sub”). Control exists where Soil Sub has the capacity to dominate the decision making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Soil Sub to achieve the objectives of Soil Sub.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 11 to the financial statements.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
Minority interests, being that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests held by persons outside the Group, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Balance Sheet and in the consolidated Income Statement.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilitk�s. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method. The purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be identified and for the cost of the acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained. Cost is determined as the aggregate of fair values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for control together with costs directly attributable to the business combination. Any deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate.
Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of the acquirer’s interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in profit or loss
d. Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore 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 unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax 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, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. 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 legally enforceable right of set-off exists, 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
e. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a weighted average basis and include cost specific to the inventory items and any other cost which contribute to bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
f. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows 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 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 charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to bÀrevaluation reserve in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line or diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Properties held for investment purposes are not subject to a depreciation charge. 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 |
|---|---|
| Plant and Equipment 2.5% - 50% Low value pool 18.75% or 37.5% Motor vehicles 18.75% - 50% Leasehold improvements 2.5% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
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 income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
g. Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording 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 charged 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 life of the lease term.
h. Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Derecognition
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial assets at fair value through profit and 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, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or 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. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Held-to-maturity investments
These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to-maturity investments held by the Group are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Soil Sub Technologies (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ABN 39 078 388 155
17
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to the income statement unless they are designated as hedges.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
i. Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
j. Intangibles
Goodwill
Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Patents and Licences
Acquired both separately and from a business combination
Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost and from a business combination are capitalised at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets.
The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.
Soil Sub Technologies (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ABN 39 078 388 155
18
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the income statement through the ‘amortisation’ line item.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists and in the case of indefinite lived intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.
A summary of the policies applied to the Group's intangible assets is as follows:
| Patents and trademarks | Website development costs | Exclusivity licence | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Useful lives | Finite | Finite | Finite |
| Method used | Amortised over the term of the patent and revalued to fair value where deemed appropriate |
Amortised over 2 ½ years and revalued to fair value where deemed appropriate |
Amortised over the term of the licence and revalued to fair value where deemed appropriate |
| Internally generated /Acquired |
Acquired | Acquired | Acquired |
| Impairment test / Recoverable amount Testing |
Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists |
Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists |
Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists |
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.
k. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each Group entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange difference arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.
l. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have also been measured at their nominal amount.
Soil Sub Technologies (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ABN 39 078 388 155
19
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
m. 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.
n. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
o. 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. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance 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.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
p. 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 of sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
q. 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. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

r. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key Judgment – Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
Key Estimate – Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.
Key Estimate – Impairments
On 8 June 2007 the Group finalised a major marketing initiative by execution of an exclusive sub-licence agreement with Hong Kong based entity, Timms Cho Group Limited, for that entity to manufacture the NutriMix Product throughout the Peoples’ Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, initially for the use in a bio-diesel project being undertaken by this Group. The Group would receive a licence fee of US$5,000,000 payable over 4 years with ongoing minimum royalty revenue of US$6,250,000 each year for the first 4 years of the agreement relating specifically to the bio-diesel project. Total revenue relating to the licence fee and the bio-diesel project would be not less than US$30M in the first 4 years. The Timms Cho Group subsequently identified a retail market for a bagged NutriMix product, and an extension to the original agreement was signed in April 2008. The company was to receive a royalty of 7.5% of gross revenue. Timms Cho Group Limited budgeted on sales of up to 300,000 tonnes per annum for the first 2 to 3 years.
Pursuant to the sub-licence agreement entered into with Timms Cho Group Limited, 16,000,000 shares were issued to the sub-licencee. Furthermore, as a result of the successful negotiation of the sub-licence agreement, 6,100,000 shares were issued to certain parties as success, and/or introduction fees. The share issues and resulting noncurrent assets totalling $21,500,000 were reflected in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2008.
The Company no longer holds intellectual property rights over the countries the subject of the sub-licence. Accordingly the Directors resolved to reduce the value of this asset to nil. The write down of the value of this Licence Agreement results in the majority of the total write down of $28,404,656 to assets. The effect of the write-down is disclosed in notes 3, 8, 9 and 13.
The effect of the reversal of licence receivables resulted in a reversal of liabilities associated with this transaction. These liabilities include deferred tax liabilities and unearned income.
The financial report was authorised for issue on the 14[th] of April 2010 by the board of directors.

Impairment Disclosures
The Directors believe there remains inherent value in certain of the Intellectual Property retained in the company, notably the NutriMix Trademark and associated patents covering Australia and New Zealand. It remains the Company’s intent, once it has raised further capital, to further exploit these patents through the commercialisation of the business in these markets. The sum of $275,000 is the upper end of a sum agreed by the Directors with a secured creditor, Ardisia Pty Ltd, to provide for the release of Ardisia’s security in order for the Company to utilise these Trademarks and intellectual property. Refer to Note 1 for additional information on balances written off.

NOTE 27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial Risk Management
The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts payable, and loans.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations.
The group does not have any derivative instruments at 30 June 2009.
- i. Treasury Risk Management
Currency exposure does not have a material impact on the group.
- ii. Financial Risks
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. For further details on interest rate risk refer to Note 27(b). Note that effective of the 1 April 2009 when the group was in voluntary administration interest on loans ceased to accrue.
Foreign currency risk
The group is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Liquidity risk
The group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained.
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.
Price risk
The group is not exposed to any material commodity price risk.
(b) Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:
| Financial Assets: Cash Trade and other receivables |

NOTE 30. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
The AASB has issued new, revised and amended standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group follows:
-
AASB 3: Business Combinations, AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, AASB 2008-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 [AASBs 1,2,4,5,7,101,107, 112, 114, 116, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138 & 139 and Interpretations 9 & 107] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009) and AASB 2008-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate [AASB 1, AASB 118, AASB 121, AASB 127 & AASB 136] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). These standards are applicable prospectively and so will only affect relevant transactions and consolidations occurring from the date of application. In this regard, its impact on the Group will be unable to be determined. The following changes to accounting requirements are included:
-
acquisition costs incurred in a business combination will no longer be recognised in goodwill but will be expensed unless the cost relates to issuing debt or equity securities;
Soil Sub Technologies (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ABN 39 078 388 155
38
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2009
-
contingent consideration will be measured at fair value at the acquisition date and may only be provisionally accounted for during a period of 12 months after acquisition;
-
a gain or loss of control will require the previous ownership interests to be remeasured to their fair value;
-
there shall be no gain or loss from transactions affecting a parent’s ownership interest of a subsidiary with all transactions required to be accounted for through equity (this will not represent a change to the Group’s policy);
-
dividends declared out of pre-acquisition profits will not be deducted from the cost of an investment but will be recognised as income;
-
impairment of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be considered when a dividend is paid by the respective investee; and
-
where there is, in substance, no change to Group interests, parent entities inserted above existing groups shall measure the cost of its investments at the carrying amount of its share of the equity items shown in the balance sheet of the original parent at the date of reorganisation.
The Group will need to determine whether to maintain its present accounting policy of calculating goodwill acquired based on the parent entity’s share of net assets acquired or change its policy so goodwill recognised also reflects that of the non-controlling interest.
-
AASB 8: Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 [AASB 5, AASB 6, AASB 102, AASB 107, AASB 119, AASB 127, AASB 134, AASB 136, AASB 1023 & AASB 1038] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). AASB 8 replaces AASB 114 and requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Board for the purposes of decision making. While the impact of this standard cannot be assessed at this stage, there is the potential for more segments to be identified. Given the lower economic levels at which segments may be defined, and the fact that cash generating units cannot be bigger than operating segments, impairment calculations may be affected. Management does not presently believe impairment will result however.
-
AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 2007-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101, and AASB 2007-10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (all applicable to annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 101 and amendments supersede the previous AASB 101 and redefines the composition of financial statements including the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income. There will be no measurement or recognition impact on the Group. If an entity has made a prior period adjusto�nt or reclassification, a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period will be required.
-
AASB 123: Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116 & AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 & 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 123 has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and will therefore require the capitalisation of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Management has determined that there will be no effect on the Group as a policy of capitalising qualifying borrowing costs has been maintained by the Group.
-
AASB 2008-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard – Share-based Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations [AASB 2] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). This amendment to AASB 2 clarifies that vesting conditions consist of service and performance conditions only. Other elements of a share-based payment transaction should therefore be considered for the purposes of determining fair value. Cancellations are also required to be treated in the same manner whether cancelled by the entity or by another party.
-
AASB 2008-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (July 2008) (AASB 2008-5) and AASB 2008-6: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (July 2008) (AASB 2008-6) detail numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to accounting standards arising from the IASB’s annual improvements project. No changes are expected to materially affect the Group.
-
AASB 2008-13: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation 17 – Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners [AASB 5 & AASB 110] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009). This amendment requires that non-current assets held for distribution to owners to be measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to distribute.
The Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements and does not expect these requirements to have any material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of Soil Sub Technologies Limited
(Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement)
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Soil Sub Technologies Limited (the company) and Soil Sub Technologies Limited and Controlled Entities (the consolidated entity), which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2009, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with IFRS.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Soil Sub Technologies Limited (Continued)
==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Basis for Disclaimer of Auditor’s Opinion
As noted in Note 1 to the financial statements, on 2 April 2009 the Company appointed an Administrator. The Administrator’s appointment was to Soil Sub Technologies Limited and did not extend to the subsidiary company, Nutrimix Distribution Pty Limited. The current Directors of the company were not Directors as at the reporting date, nor were they parties involved with the Company at that time.
Every effort has been made by the Directors to ascertain the true position of the Soil Sub Technologies Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) and its controlled entities (“the Group”) as at 30 June 2009. However, there may be information that the Directors have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material on the accounts.
Furthermore, the director’s declaration indicates an inability by the Directors to declare that the financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including;
-
The financial statements set out on pages 9 to 39 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and:
-
(a) comply with Accounting Standards; and
-
(b) give a true and fair view of the financial position as at 30 June 2009 and of the performance for the year ended on that date of the company and consolidated group;
-
due to the existence of the limitations on the preparation of the financial report as discussed in Note 1, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Finance Officer are unable to declare that;
-
(a) the financial records of the company for the financial year have been properly maintained in accordance with s286 of the Corporations Act 2001 ;
-
(b) the financial statements and notes for the financial year comply with the Accounting Standards; and
-
(c) the financial statements and notes for the financial year give a true and fair view;
Due to these limitations we are unable to obtain all the information and perform the required procedures in order to form our opinion on the financial report.
Disclaimer of Auditor’s Opinion
Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Auditor’s Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly we do not express an opinion on the financial report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the report of the directors for the year ended 30 June 2009. 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.
