Principal Activity

The principal activity of the Consolidated Group during the financial year was provision of services to its Shareholders to reduce their overheads and increase their revenue.

Results

The consolidated profit of the Consolidated Group after providing for income tax amounted to $3,581,110 (2009: $1,064,354).

Review of Operations

The corporate objective of the Consolidated Group was to reduce overhead costs of Australian owned general insurance brokerages and to seek out opportunities that will further enhance their returns. Specific benefits to Shareholders being targeted by the Consolidated Group at present include:

  • Marketing preferred premium funding products and insurance partner products to Shareholders;
  • Development of generic underwriting products;
  • Best practice compliance and training solutions;
  • Supply of technical operations standards manual;
  • Sourcing group buying discounts and services from non-insurance providers to assist Shareholders to manage their operational costs; and
  • Development of software to reduce back-office costs.

During the financial year, there was the Annual Convention held in March 2010 by Steadfast Convention Pty Ltd (Steadfast Convention). Revenue for Steadfast Convention was $1,874,242 (2009: $1,753,341), and expenses were $1,985,536 (2009: $1,716,080) resulting in a loss of $111,294 (2009: profit of $37,261).

Dividends Paid or Recommended

As disclosed in Prospectus No 1, the Company was established to provide its Shareholders with benefits that may arise from group buying rather than as a conventional investment which returns dividends and capital growth. However, the Board may declare dividends from time to time as an additional benefit to Shareholders.

Dividends declared by the Company to Shareholders for the financial year amounted to $1.354.011. All dividends declared by the Company are fully franked.

Rebates Paid to Shareholders

The Company derives income as a result of the revenue generated by the sale of Steadfast preferred products by its Shareholders through Steadfast's strategic partners. Steadfast rebates for the current year to Shareholders were approved by the Board at the rate of up to 36.29% on qualifying income and amounted to $6,145,989 (Rebates for 2009 were paid at 50% and amounted to $7,220,106). Rebates to Shareholders in respect of Macquarie Premium Funding amounted to $2,375,469 (2009: $747,351).

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

During the year, SME Insurance Survey's Pty Ltd was incorporated where 50% of total shares in the entity are owned by the company, in turn creating an associate relationship.

After Balance Date Events

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Consolidated Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Group in future financial years.

Future Developments

The Consolidated Group will continue to develop further opportunities to reduce the overhead costs of Shareholders and further enhance their returns. The Company continues to develop back office computer software solutions to further reduce operating expenses.

Environmental Issues

The Consolidated Group's operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory.

Options

No options to shares in the Consolidated Group have been granted during the financial year and there were no options outstanding at the end of the financial year.

Benefits under Contract with Directors

The Company pays Shareholders Service expenses to Netsafe Global Pty Ltd of which Jonathan Upton (a Director of Steadfast) is also a Director.

Indemnifying Directors and Officers

During or since the financial year the Consolidated Group has paid premiums to insure all its Directors and Officers against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in the capacity of Director of the Consolidated Group, other than conduct involving a willful breach of duty in relation to the Consolidated Group. The total premium paid during the year was $9,422 (2009: $9,422).

Proceedings on Behalf of the Company

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Steadfast Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Consolidated Group or the Group).

Basis of Preparation

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.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. 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.

ł, à,

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\mathbb{P}^{1,1}$ and $\mathbb{P}^{1,1}$

E

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Steadfast Group Limited at the end of the reporting period.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 28 to the financial statements.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of the 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 Consolidated Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).

All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

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

(b) 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 as 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, 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.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Income Tax (continued)

Tax consolidation

The Consolidated Group and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax Consolidated Group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the 'stand-alone taxpayer' approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. The Group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2009. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax payable by the Group in proportion to their contribution to the Group's taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.

L.

÷,

(c) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are generally settled within 30 to 60 days. The collectability of debts is assessed at balance date and specific provision is made for any doubtful accounts.

(d) Trade and Other Pavables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

(e) 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 Tax 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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities. which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(f) Revenue and Other Income

The Group has negotiated with preferred partner insurance companies and preferred premium funders to receive a marketing and administration fee based on the amount of preferred product business its shareholders place with those companies. These amounts will be recognised as income as they are earned.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive the dividend has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST.

(g) Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Property

Buildings are accounted for on a cost basis less accumulated depreciation.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis less depreciation.

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 assets' employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of ail fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the Consolidated Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

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

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Freehold improvements $6.67 - 100%$
Furniture and fittings 20%
Office equipment 10 - 100%
Computer equipment 33.33 - 100%
Computer software 100%
Buildina 2.5%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance 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.

ŧ

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(h) Segment Reporting

The Consolidated Group operates in Australia only and the principal activity is the provision of services to Shareholders to reduce their overheads and increase their revenue.

(i) Intangibles

(i) Research and development

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

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

(j) Leases

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.

(k) Investments in Associates

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

The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the investor's share of the associate's profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the relation to the Group's investment in the associate

When the reporting dates of the Group and the associate are different, the associate prepares, for the Group's use, financial statements as of the same date as the financial statements of the Group with adjustments being made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between that date and the date of the investor's financial statements.

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

Details of the Group's investments in associates are shown at Note 12.

(I) Interests in Joint Ventures

The Consolidated Group's share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of jointly controlled assets have been included in the appropriate line items of the consolidated financial statements.

The Consolidated Group's interests in joint venture entities are brought to account using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements.

Where the Group contributes assets to the joint venture or if the Group purchases assets from the joint venture, only the portion of the gain or loss that is not attributable to the Group's share of the joint venture shall be recognised. The Group however will recognise the full amount of any loss when the contribution results in a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss.

Details of the Group's investment in joint ventures is shown at Note 13.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(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. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at reporting date.

ò.

$\mathbb{Z}$

$\mathbb{Z}^2$

÷.

$\frac{1}{4}$

(n) Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

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

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

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as:

the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; a.

  • less principal repayments; b.
  • plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the c. effective interest method; and
  • d. less any reduction for impairment.

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

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

Loans and receivables $(i)$

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period (all other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets).

Held-to-maturity investments (ii)

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

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period (all other investments are classified as current assets).

$(iii)$ Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Impairment of assets $(iv)$

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible 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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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.

(o) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(o) Employee Benefits (continued)

Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

(p) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

$\overline{a}$

÷.

(q) Borrowing Costs

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

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

(r) Comparative Figures

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

(s) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements 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 Estimates - Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. There is no impairment required at 30 June 2010.

Key Judgments - Provision for Impairment of Receivables

The intercompany loan receivable from Steadfast Hub Pty Ltd was written off at year end, as it was deemed unrecoverable.

(t) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

During the current year the Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.

The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions. The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these standards and interpretations has had on the financial statements of the Group.

AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements

In September 2007 the Australian Accounting Standards Board revised AASB 101 and as a result, there have been changes to the presentation and disclosure of certain information within the financial statements. Below is an overview of the key changes and the impact on the Group's financial statements.

Disclosure impact

Terminology changes - The revised version of AASB 101 contains a number of terminology changes, including the amendment of the names of the primary financial statements.

Reporting changes in equity - The revised AASB 101 requires all changes in equity arising from transactions with owners, in their capacity as owners, to be presented separately from non-owner changes in equity. Owner changes in equity are to be presented in the Statement of Changes in Equity, with non-owner changes in equity presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The previous version of AASB 101 required that owner changes in equity and other comprehensive income be presented in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

Statement of Comprehensive Income - The revised AASB 101 requires all income and expenses to be presented in either one statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, or two statements, a separate Income Statement and a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The previous version of AASB 101 required only the presentation of a single income statement.

The Group's financial statements now contain a Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Other comprehensive income - The revised version of AASB 101 introduces the concept of 'other comprehensive income' which comprises of income and expenses that are not recognised in profit or loss as required by other Australian Accounting Standards. Items of other comprehensive income are to be disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Entities are required to disclose the income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income. The previous version of AASB 101 did not contain an equivalent concept.

(u) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued new and amended accounting 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:

(i) AASB 9: Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 10 & 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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

These standards are applicable retrospectively and amend the classification and measurement of financial assets. The Group has not yet determined the potential impact on the financial statements.

The changes made to accounting requirements include:

  • simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;
  • simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives; $\overline{a}$
  • removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;
  • removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;
  • allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument; and
  • reclassifying financial assets where there is a change in an entity's business model as they are initially classified based on: L.
    • a. the objective of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; and
    • b. the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.

The Group does not anticipate the early adoption of any of the above Australian Accounting Standards.

The financial report was authorised for issue on $26$ October 2010 by the Board of Directors.

Decrease in interest rate by 2% 57,982 41,402
Change in equity
Increase in interest rate by 2% (39, 484) (41, 402)

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.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

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