Principle
Ref.
Recommendation
Ref.
Notification of Departure Explanation for Departure
2 2.1 A majority of board members are not
independent directors
Two of the four board members are considered to
be independent in accordance with the ASX
definition. In view of the size of the Company
and the nature of its activities the board considers
that the current board is a cost effective and
practical method of directing and managing the
Company.
2 2.4 The board has not established a
nomination committee
The board has no formal nomination committee.
Acting in its ordinary capacity from time to time
as required, the board carries out the process of
determining the need for, screening and
appointment of new directors. In view of the size
of the Company and resources available, it is not
considered that a separate nomination committee
would add any substance to this process.
4 4.3 The board has established an audit
committee, however, the structure of
audit committees should be such that it
consists of:

Only non-executive directors

A majority of independent
directors

An independent Chairman, who is
not the Chairman of the board, and

Atleast threemembers.
The CII Audit Committee consists of Messrs
Brown and Brennan, both independent directors.
The committee is chaired by Mr Brennan. CII’s
directors do not consider that the Company’s
affairs are of such a size and complexity to merit
the establishment of larger audit committee.
9 9.2 The board has not established a
remuneration committee
The full board is responsible for setting
remuneration levels and individual performance
targets. Due to the size of the Company it is
considered to be efficient and cost effective.
Advice from professional independent advisors
willbe sought wherenecessary.

Financial Statements – 31 December 2007

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2007

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the year ended 31 December 2007, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Accounting Standards (AIFRS), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers the Consolidated Entity of CI Resources Limited and its controlled entity, and CI Resources Limited as an individual parent entity. The financial report has also been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Compliance with IFRSs

Australian Accounting Standards include AIFRSs. Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the financial statements and notes of CI Resources Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies.

(b) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary of CI Resources Limited (“company” or “parent entity”) as at 31 December 2007 and the results of the subsidiary for the financial period then ended.

CI Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Minority interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet respectively.

Financial Statements – 31 December 2007

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2007

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

(d)

Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

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 Australian Taxation Office is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

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 Australian Taxation Office, are presented as operating cash flow.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australia Taxation Office.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(f) Financial instruments

Recognition

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

Financial Statements – 31 December 2007

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2007

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the consolidated entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the balance sheet.

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the consolidated entity’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are reflected at fair value except investments in unlisted companies, which are held at cost. Unrealised gains and losses arising from the 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 repayments and amortization.

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

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the consolidated entity establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include reference to the fair values of recent arm’s length transactions, involving the same instruments or other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances.

Impairment

The Consolidated Entity assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2007

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(g) 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 the date of acquisition. Goodwill on the acquisition 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.

(h)

Investments in associates

Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognises the group’s share of post acquisition reserves of associates.

(i) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

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 consolidated entity 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.

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 are included in the income statement.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation 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 assets original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Depreciation

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

The depreciation rates used for plant and equipment range from 5% to 33%. The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying value 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.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(j) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Functional and presentation currency

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

Transactions 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 date of the transaction. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when the fair values were determined.

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

Group companies

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

  • Assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing on that reporting date;

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

  • Retained profits are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the Balance Sheet. These differences are recognised in the Income Statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(k) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(l) Comparative figures

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

(m) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid.

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2007

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(n) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the consolidated entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(o) Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

(p) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the consolidated entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The consolidated entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There were no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(q)

Segment reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

(r)

Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Financial Statements – 31 December 2007

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2007

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(s) Acquisition of assets

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all acquisitions of assets (including business combinations) regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the consolidated entity’s identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(t) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 120 days from the date of recognition.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(u)

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(v) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims are recognised when: the consolidated entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

(w) Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

Retirement benefit obligations

The consolidated entity contributes to various defined contribution funds for its employees.

Contributions to the defined contribution funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

Share-based payments

The fair value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.

The market value of shares issued to employees for no cash consideration under the employee share scheme is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when the employees become entitled to the shares.

(x) Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.

(y) Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except when it related to a qualifying asset in which case it would be capitalised.

(z) New accounting standards and interpretations

The following new/amended accounting standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for financial years ended 31 December 2007. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2007 and are expected to impact the entity in the period of initial application. In all cases the entity intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated in the table below.

Inserts accounting
treatment options that
currently exist under
IFRSs back into AIFRSs
and removes Australian-
specific disclosures that
were originally added
into AIFRSs on first-
time adoption from 1
January 2005.
Periods
commencing on
or after 1 July
2007
Most changes relate to certain
Australian-specific disclosures
not being required.
The entity does not intend to
adopt any reinstated options for
accounting treatment when the
standard is adopted. As such,
there will be no future financial
impacts on the financial
statements.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

AASB reference Title and Affected
Standard(s):
Nature of Change Application
date:
Impact on Initial Application
AASB 123
(revised June
2007)
Borrowing Costs To the extent that
borrowing costs are
directly attributable to
the acquisition,
construction or
production of a
qualifying asset, the
option of recognising
borrowing costs
immediately as an
expense has been
removed. Consequently
all borrowing costs for
qualifying assets will
have to be capitalised.
Periods
commencing on
or after 1
January 2009
The transitional provisions of
this standard only require
capitalisation of borrowing costs
on qualifying assets where
commencement date for
capitalisation is on or after 1
January 2009. As such, there
will be no impact on prior period
financial statements when this
standard is adopted.
IFRS 3 (revised
2008)
.
Business Combinations Released as part of long
term international
convergence project
between IASB and
FASB. The revised
standard introduces
more detailed guidance
on accounting for step
acquisitions,
adjustments to
contingent
consideration, assets
acquired that the
purchaser does not
intend to use,
reacquired rights and
share-based payments
as part of purchase
consideration. Also, all
acquisition costs will
have to be expensed
instead of being
recognised as part of
goodwill.
Business
combinations
where the
acquisition date
is on or after the
beginning of the
first reporting
period that
commences 1
July 2009 or
later
As there is no requirement to
retrospectively restate
comparative amounts for
business combinations
undertaken before this date,
there is unlikely to be any
impact on the financial
statements when this revised
standard is first adopted.
However, due to the nature of
some of the changes in the
revised standard, business
combinations that the entity
undertakes after this date may in
future impact negatively on the
results of the entity. For
example, acquisition costs will
have to be expensed instead of
being recognised as part of
goodwill.
Specific changes in respect of
step acquisitions and sell downs
may introduce situations
whereby adopting the revised
standard may improve
profitability.

**Standard(s): **
Nature of Change Application
date:
Impact on Initial Application
IAS 27 (revised
2008)
Consolidated and
Separate Financial
Statements
The revised standard
clarifies that changes in
ownership interest
which result in control
being retained are
accounted for within
equity as transactions
with owners. Losses
will be attributed to the
non-controlling interest
even if this results in a
debit balance for the
non-controlling interest.
Investments retained
where there has been a
loss of control will be
recognised at fair value
at date of sale.
Periods
commencing on
or after 1 July
2009
As there is no requirement to
retrospectively restate the effect
of these revisions, there is
unlikely to be any impact on the
financial statements when this
revised standard is first adopted.
However, Xi Feng International
Pte Ltd may incur losses. To the
extent that Xi Feng incurs losses
for the financial year ending 31
December 2010, such losses will
be attributed to the non-
controlling interest. No
adjustment will be made to
comparatives for losses not
previously attributed to the non-
controllinginterest.
AASB 2008-1
(issued February
2008)
Amendments to AASB 2
– Share-based Payments –
Vesting Conditions and
Cancellations
The definition of
_vesting conditions_has
changed and the
accounting treatment
clarified for
cancellations to share-
based payment
arrangements by the
counterparty. This is to
ensure that conditions
other than performance
conditions do not result
in a ‘true up’ of the
share-based payment
expense and are treated
in a manner similar to
market conditions.
Periods
commencing on
or after 1
January 2009
To date the entity has not issued
any options to employees that
include non-vesting conditions
and as such there will be no
impact on the financial
statements when this revised
standard is adopted for the first
time.
AASB
Interpretation 11
(issued Feb
2007)
AASB 2 – Group and
Treasury Share
Transactions
Clarifies the accounting
treatment under AASB
2:Share-Based
_Payments_where the
parent entity grants
rights to its equity
instruments to
employees of its
subsidiaries, or where a
subsidiary grants to its
employees rights to
equity instruments of its
parent.
Periods
commencing on
or after 1 March
2007
[in the accounts of Xi Feng Pte
Ltd]
There will be no impact because
at the reporting date neither the
entity nor its parent entity has
granted any rights to equity
instruments for employee
services.
[in the accounts of CI
Resources Ltd]
There will be no impact because
at the reporting date the entity
has not issued any equity
instruments to employees of
subsidiaries.

(c) These investments are not recorded at fair value because their fair values cannot be reliably measured. Fair values cannot be readily determined as there is no publicly available information to support the fair values. The directors have determined that at 31 December 2006 and 2007, there is no readily available and ascertainable information and therefore cannot disclose the requirements of paragraph 30 (c) of AASB 7. It is also the intention of the Board to maintain the equity holdings in the above and have no intention of disposing the investments in the foreseeable future.

The fair value shares in unlisted companies and shares in controlled entities cannot be reliably measured as variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant. As a result, all unlisted investments are reflected at cost. Management has determined that the estimate of total consolidated fair values for unlisted investments would range in values exceeding the cost of the total investment. Unlisted investments exist within markets which would permit the assets to be disposed of if required.

Note 22. Events occurring after reporting date

On 30 January 2008 the Company released the following statement to the market:

CI Resources Limited, owns a 51% interest in the Singaporean company, Xifeng International Pte Ltd, which in turn holds a 32% interest in Guizhou Tiangfeng Chem-Phos Co Ltd in the Peoples’ Republic of China.

Guizhou Tiangfeng Chem-Phos Co Ltd owns the Pingba fertiliser plant in Guizhou, which is capable of producing sulphuric acid, monammonium phosphate (MAP) and NPK (nitrogen/phosphorous/ potassium) fertilisers.

CI Resources Limited has been informed that the Qingzhen City Environmental Protection Court has identified pollutants being discharged from the gypsum waste dump at the Pingba plant, and has ordered the major shareholder to prevent this pollutant run-off.

The order requires the MAP plant to cease operations by 31 March 2008 if action is not taken to prevent the discharge.

The waste dump was established at least ten years before Xifeng International Pte Ltd invested in the plant, and certain environmental obligations rest with the former owner of the plant.

CI Resources Limited, through its investment in Xifeng International, is currently seeking to clarify the legal issues surrounding the court order.

The Board of CI Resources Limited confirms that the company is committed to upholding the highest standards of environmental responsibility.

Other than that shown above, there are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since 31 December 2007 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • (d) the consolidated entity’s operations in future financial years, or

  • (e) the results of those operations in future financial years, or

  • (f) the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Note 25. Financial instruments and financial risk management

CI Resources is exposed to risks from movements in interest rates and foreign exchange risks that affect its assets and liabilities. Financial risk management aims to limit these market risks through focusing on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company and the Group.

(i) Interest rate risk

CI Resources, both parent and group, is exposed to interest rate risks in Australia. To minimise the effects of the potential adversities, the management attempt to limit these effects through constant reviewing of the financial markets.

Interest rate risk is presented by way of sensitivity analysis in accordance with AASB 7. These show the effect on interest income and shareholders equity. The interest rate sensitivity is based on the following assumptions.

Interest rate analysis is based on those in effect at 31 December 2007 and based on the 1 year variable bond yield.

If market rates had been 36 basis points higher then the profit and loss, and bank and cash, would have been $17,345 higher (31 December 2006: $11,561 higher – using 30 basis points). If market rates had been 36 basis points lower then the profit and loss, and bank and cash, would have been $18,693 lower (31 December 2006: $17,968 lower – using 30 basis points).

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Group and parent are exposed to fluctuations in the Australian dollar against the Singaporean dollar. The risk is managed by reference to potential adverse effects in the market. For the Group and parent, directors believe the potential exchange rate effects would not have a material effect to the income statement or equity.

(iii) Liquidity Risk

The Group has no significant exposure to liquidity risk as there is effectively no debt, however should there be a risk of a nonmaterial nature then the group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows.

The Group nor the parent is not subject to any other risks other than those described above.

Capital risk management

The Group and the parent entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide shareholders and stakeholders in the future and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

As at 31 December 2006 and 2007 the entity attempted to ensure the parent and the Group was debt free, the gearing ratios for both the parent and Group was:

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2007

Note 26. Segment reporting (continued)

Secondary reporting – business segments

The Consolidated Entity operates predominantly in the investment sector.

Note 27. Differences from preliminary final report

In accordance with Listing Rule 4.5A, set out below are certain differences between information contained in the Appendix 4E lodged with the ASX and this financial report.

At the time of lodging the Preliminary Final Report preliminary financial information had been received from Phosphate Resources Limited, on which the Consolidated Entity relied to equity account for the investment. This information had not yet been subject to audit review. Once final audit reviewed information was received the following differences between the Preliminary Final Report and this Financial Report have arisen. All changes are relevant to the Consolidated Entity only.

The profit after income tax has decreased from $1,849,526 to $1,380,022, this is due to an increase in accrued expenses taken up and an increase in taxation provision within Phosphate Resources Limited.

Earnings per share has decreased from 2.53 cents per share to 1.89 cents per share.

Total assets has decreased from $14,373,294 to $13,903,790, and net assets from $14,172,110 to $13,702,606 as a result of the decreased share of profits from PRL.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report and AASB 124 Remuneration Disclosures Contained in the Directors Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of CI Resources Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2007, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the period ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.

We have also audited the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report. As permitted by the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Company has disclosed information about the remuneration of directors and executives (“remuneration disclosures”), required by Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures, under the heading “Remuneration Report” in pages 9 – 12 of the directors’ report and not in the financial report.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

BDO Kendalls is a national association of separate partnerships and entities

==> picture [121 x 24] intentionally omitted <==

Independence

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

Qualification

Limitation of Scope – Xi Feng International Pte Ltd

The group, through its controlled entity Xi Feng International Pte Ltd, maintains an investment of 32% in Guizhou Taingfeng Chem-Phos Co Ltd, an associated entity. The accounts of the associated entity were qualified due to their auditors being unable to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the balance of a long term equity investment it maintains, as they were not supplied with financial statements of the investee to support the balance.

As a result, any change in this long term equity investment balance could ultimately result in a change in the equity accounted investment and profit and loss of the controlled entity.

Given this limitation of scope, we are unable to conclude on the financial effect, if any, on the carrying value of the equity associated investment in the consolidated accounts or its commensurate effect on the consolidated profit and loss.

Limitation of Scope – Phosphate Resources Limited

The company maintains an investment of 38% in Phosphate Resources Limited. The group has equity accounted this investment in the consolidated financial statements.

The accounts at 31 December 2007 of Phosphate Resources Limited were unaudited, and as such BDO were unable to satisfy ourselves as to their accuracy via alternative audit procedures.

Given this limitation of scope, we are unable to conclude on the accuracy and financial effect, if any, on the carrying value of the equity accounted investment in the consolidated accounts or its commensurate effect on the consolidated profit and loss.

Inability to Form an Opinion – Impairment of Investment

In January 2008 the company was informed that the Qingzen City Environmental Protection Court had identified pollutants being discharged from the gypsum dump at the Pingba plant in China. An order requiring the plant to cease operations by March 31 2008 if action is not taken to prevent the discharge was issued.

The effect that the Pingba plant closure will have on impairing the carrying value of the investment held in Guizhou Taingfeng Chem-Phos Co Ltd, an associate of a CI Resources Limited subsidiary, Xi Feng International Pt Ltd, is not yet able to be quantified.

As such BDO is not able to conclude on the carrying value of the equity accounted investment in the consolidated accounts or its commensurate effect on the consolidated profit and loss.
