Apart from the adoption of new or revised standards noted below, the accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.

Biological assets consist of mature oil palm trees.
The Group grows oil palm trees to produce palm oil. The plantation is located in Malaysia.
A valuation was conducted by Jones Lang Wootton, an independent professional valuer, on a subsidiary's oil palm estate development comprising land, ancillary facilities and biological assets, for the purposes of revaluing the biological assets of the subsidiary as at 30 June 2013.
At 31 December 2013, there has been no material change in the fair value of biological assets compared to 30 June 2013.
The Group is exposed to risks in respect of agricultural activity. The agricultural activity of the Group consists of the plantation development and cultivation of palm products.
The primary risk associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between expending cash on planting and trees reaching production so that cash can be received from the sale of palm oil to third parties. The Group's strategy to manage this risk is to stage the replanting (20-30 year replanting cycle) to reduce the effect on the cash flow.
7 Events after the Balance Sheet Date
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2013 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of CI Resources Limited and its controlled entities, or the state of affairs of CI Resources Limited and its controlled entities in subsequent periods.
8 Financial Instruments
The Directors have concluded that the fair value of those assets and liabilities are not materially different to book values. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments were:
- Cash The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.
- Term Deposits The carrying value is the fair value of these assets.
- Receivables/payables due to the short term nature of these financial rights and obligations, and/or market interest received/paid, their carrying values are estimated to represent their fair values.
- Derivatives The fair values of forward currency contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.
- Finance lease liability The fair value is the present value of minimum lease payments, which is also the approximate carrying value.
- Bank loan All the bank loans of the Group are interest bearing with floating interest rates which move in accordance with the market interest rates. Therefore the fair value of the bank loans approximates their carrying value.
Notes to the financial statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2013
8 Financial Instruments (continued)
Forward currency contracts – held for trading
The Group has entered into forward exchange contracts which are economic hedges but do not satisfy the requirements for hedge accounting.

| Sell US$ maturity 12 to 24 months | - | - | - | - |
These contracts are fair valued by comparing the contracted rate to the market rates for contracts with the same length of maturity. All movements in fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period they occur. The net fair value losses on foreign currency derivatives during the half-year were $1.345 million for the Group.
The group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:
Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted price in active markets;
Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly (as price) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

To the members of CI Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of CI Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of CI Resources Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor's Independence Declaration.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of CI Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
