agreement with Steven Shilkin to purchase the assets and settle the $750,000 owing by Steven Shilkin to EL Corporation Ltd on 20th March 2013. However, Summit Light Ventures Ltd had a delay in their settlement with Steven Shilkin. The Company has been advised that the completion will be scheduled for end April 2013.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies The financial report covers the consolidated group of EL Corporation Limited and controlled entities, and EL Corporation as an individual entity. EL Corporation Limited is a listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. This 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 (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Basis of Preparation 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 the 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 statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. (a)
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, the company and consolidated entity incurred losses of $419,610 and $423,152 respectively and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $392,097 and $393,659 respectively for the year ended 31 December 2012. As at that date the company and consolidated entity had net current assets of $175,757 and $176,291 respectively and net assets of $181,109 and $181,643 respectively. The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company and consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns, after consideration of the following factors: • As disclosed in Note 14, the balance of $1,135,000 reflected as financial liabilities at 31 December 2011 was converted to
share capital during the year at a share price of $0.05c per share. • Atlas Capital (Pte) (“Atlas”) is a major financier of EL Corporation Limited (“EL Corporation”). Atlas has confirmed that it is
its intention to provide continuing financial support to EL Corporation sufficient to allow it to meet its current and future financial obligations and to enable it to pay its debts as and when they become due.
• Atlas has confirmed that should cash reserves be insufficient for EL Corporation to meet its financial obligations as and
when they fall due over the next 12 months, Atlas will inject further funds as necessary. • The directors have considered expected future cashflow requirements, and have satisfied themselves that EL Corporation
has the financial resources available to meet those needs. • The company has the ability to continue to raise additional funds pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001. • The ability of the company and consolidated entity to further scale back certain parts of their activities that are non
essential so as to conserve cash. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the company and consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
(b) Principles of Consolidation A controlled entity is any entity over which EL Corporation Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so
as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the powers to govern, the existence and effect of holding actual and potential voting rights are considered.
A list of controlled entity is contained in Note 11 to the financial statements.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of 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, the operating results have been included (excluded) from the date the control was obtained (ceased).
All inter-group balances and transactions between entities of 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
(c) 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 the 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 and 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. When 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 assets 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 tax levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable 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 assets and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax Consolidation
EL Corporation Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have not formed an income tax consolidated group under tax legislation.
(d) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, 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 that 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 employed 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 consolidated 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 the 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 is charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation The depreciable amount of all 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. 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 10-30% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date. An assets’ carrying
amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than the 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 statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(e) Leases and Hire Purchase Contracts 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 transferable to the entities in the consolidated 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
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 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.
(f) Financial Instruments Recognition Financial instruments are initially measured at costs on trade date, which includes trade costs, when the related contractual rights
or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 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 AASB139: 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 fair value of these assets are included in the statement of comprehensive income 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. 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 The group has not utilised any derivatives during the year. 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 assesses whether there us 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 statement of comprehensive income.
Financial guarantees Where material, financial guarantees are issues, which requires the issuer to make specific payments to reimburse the holder for
a loss it incurs because a specific debtor fails to make a payment when due, are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation id accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. When the entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118. The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on:
- The likelihood of the guarantee party defaulting in a year period: - The proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guarantee party defaulting; - The maximum loss exposed if the guarantee party were to default.
Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(g) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying value of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there us
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 statement of comprehensive income. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
(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 if post acquisition reserves of associates.
(i) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each 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.
Transaction and Balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using 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 transaction. Non-monetary 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 statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences 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 statement of comprehensive income.
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 at the reporting date; - Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and - Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction. -
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(j)
Employee Benefits
Equity-settled compensation The group does not operate and share-based compensation plans. (k) 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 the outflow can be reliably measured. (l) 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 statement of financial position.
(m) Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and
rewards of ownership of the goods and cessation of all involvement in those goods. Revenue from investment properties is recognised on an accrual basis or straight line basis in accordance with lease agreements. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon the delivery of services to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(n) 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.
(o) Good and service Tax (GST) Revenue, 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 ST us recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position 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.

(p) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the
current financial year. (q) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial reports 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.
Key judgements - provision for impairment of other receivables Included in other receivables at the end of the reporting period is an amount receivable in relation to a refundable deposit for the acquisition of an investment amounting to $750,000. This amount is now past due date but the directors understand that the full amount of the deposit is likely to be recoverable in the near future, and therefore no provision for impairment has been made.
(r) 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:
• AASB 9: Financial Instruments and AASB 2010–11: 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).
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; • 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:
(a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
• AASB 2011–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
[AASB 1, 5, 7, 101, 112, 120, 121, 132, 133, 134, 1039 & 1049] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2012)..
The main change arising from this Standard is the requirement for entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently. This Standard affects presentation only and is therefore not expected to significantly impact the Group.
The Group does not anticipate the early adoption of any of the above Australian Accounting Standards.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
EL CORPORATION LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report We have audited the accompanying financial report of EL Corporation Limited (“the company”), which comprises the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2012, and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the company and 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply 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 about 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
opinions.
29
Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of EL Corporation Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report. Basis for Qualified Opinion
As disclosed in Note 20(a), included in trade and other receivables is $750,000 which was expected to be received in full on 20 March 2013. No payment has been received as at the date of this report which creates a significant uncertainty as to the recoverability of this asset. We have been unable to perform alternative audit procedures to enable us to form an opinion on the recoverability of this asset. We have therefore been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of the carrying value of the $750,000 deposit as at 31 December 2012. Consequently, we are unable to determine whether any adjustments to the carrying value of this asset are necessary.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph: (a) the financial report of EL Corporation Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity’s financial positions as at 31 December 2012 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1. Report on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 8 to 9 of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2012. 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. Opinion In our opinion the Remuneration Report of EL Corporation Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
