NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MAY 2002
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are a special purpose financial report which have been
prepared solely for use by directors and members of the company.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accrual basis
of accounting as set out in AASB 1001 and other applicable Accounting Standards,
except for:
(i) AASB 1004 "Disclosure of Operating Revenue"
(ii) AASB 1005 "Financial Reporting by Segments"
(iii) AASB 1017 "Related Party Disclosures"
(iv) AASB 1020 "Accounting for Income Tax (Tax Effect Accounting)"
(v) AASB 1021 "Depreciation"
(vi) AASB 1026 "Statement of Cash Flows"
(vii) AASB 1033 "Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Instruments"
Furthermore, other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues
Group Consensus Views) have not been adopted.
The company has applied Accounting Standard AASB 1025 "Application of Reporting
Entity Concept and other Amendments". Since the directors consider the company
is not a reporting entity as defined in AASB 1025, the company is not required
to comply with all Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional
reporting requirements.
The above Standards and Consensus Views have not been complied with since the
directors consider the cost of compliance outweighs the benefits to members of
the resulting information and that non-compliance with these Standards does not
affect the truth and fairness of the financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical costs and
do not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current
valuations of non-current assets.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the
company in the preparation of the financial statements. The accounting policies
have been consistently applied, unless stated otherwise.
a) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation are provided on non-current assets by charges
against income at rates based on the estimated useful life of the respective
assets principally using the reducing value method.

Liability method of tax effect accounting whereby the current liability and
future liability in respect of the year's profits are included at the rates
applicable at balance date in accordance with the law at that date and future
income tax benefits are brought to account when the future realisation of the
benefit can be regarded as assured beyond any reasonable doubt.
