Chairman’s Review

Dear Shareholder,

Securities in Raffles have not traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) since April 2007 and in order for Raffles’ Shares to be reinstated to trading on the ASX. Raffles must meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. To this end, your Directors have identified a new metals exploration project in NSW and have embarked on a public fundraising.

Raffles currently has a portfolio of equity investments with net assets in the order of $8.3 million and is implementing the change in scale and nature of activities approved by shareholders in December 2009 through establishing a mining exploration and resources business focused on the Precious Metal Resources Limited (PMR) Tenements.

The business is operated by Raffles subsidiary company – PMR.

At the date of this Annual Report, Raffles is seeking to raise $1.5 million through a public offer to fund exploration on the PMR Tenements.

The PMR Tenements are located at Halls Peak, 80 km south-east of Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.

Halls Peak is the inferred volcanic centre for extensive small but high grade Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits rich in copper, lead, zinc and silver, with variable but largely untested gold values. Further exploration aims to locate the right depositional environment to host an economic resource.

Several geochemical and geophysical anomalies are also present that should identify further high grade, near-surface sulphides.

Additional to the VMS prospectivity, there are indications for the presence of orogenic gold from breccia floaters and small pods of Au–rich quartz on the tenements carrying 1 to 10 g/t Au.

Exploration will focus on the three key known sulphide bodies initially aiming to bring them to a proven resource stage quite rapidly through a diamond and reverse circulation drilling program.

The Directors are confident that on completion of the offer Raffles will satisfy ASX requirements for reinstatement of Raffles’ shares to the Official List of the ASX.

Tan Sri Ibrahim Menudin Chairman

Annual Report – Period Ended 31 December 2010 Page 6

Coal – Tiaro Coal Limited (ASX: TCM) Tiaro Coal Limited (Tiaro) is an Australian mining company listed on the ASX undertaking exploration for commercially viable coal deposits with the potential to produce metallurgical (coking, PCI) coals from the Tiaro Coal Measures in southeast Queensland and other coal prospective areas with good infrastructure.

Hudson holds 31.8 million shares representing 39% of the issued capital of Tiaro.

Bauxite - Australian Bauxite Limited (ASX: ABZ) Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) is an Australian mining company listed on the ASX which holds the core of the newly discovered Eastern Australian Bauxite Province. Its 32 bauxite tenements in Queensland, NSW and Tasmania covering 7,231 km2 were rigorously selected on 3 principles:

good quality bauxite; proximity to infrastructure connected to export ports; and, free of socio-environmental or native title land constraints.

All tenements are 100% owned and free of obligations for processing and third-party royalties. ABx has already discovered many bauxite deposits and new discoveries are still being made as knowledge and expertise grows.

ABx’s bauxite is high quality and can be processed into alumina at low temperature – the type that is in short-supply globally. At ABx’s first drilling prospect in Inverell, northern NSW, an interim resource of 35 million tonnes has been reported from drilling 15% to 20% of the area prospective for bauxite and a resource of 12 million tonnes of bauxite has been reported at the Taralga project in southern NSW based on limited, first-pass reconnaissance drilling. Results from the Binjour Plateau in central QLD confirm that ABx has discovered a significant bauxite deposit including some bauxite of outstandingly high quality. ABx aspires to identify bauxite resources in excess of 200 million tonnes in one of the world’s best bauxite provinces.

ABx has the potential to create significant bauxite developments in three states - Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Its bauxite deposits are favourably located for direct shipping of bauxite to both local and export customers. Drilling of the ABx bauxite discoveries in Tasmania has only recently commenced but bauxite is con-firmed to extend over relatively large areas.

Hudson holds 55.6 million shares representing 55% of the issued capital of ABx.

Gold – Sovereign Gold Company Limited (ASX: SOC)

Sovereign Gold Company Limited (Sovereign Gold) is an Australian mining company listed on the ASX which is exploring a large Intrusion-Related Gold System at the Rock River-Uralla Goldfield in New South Wales. Its projects cover 1,200 square kilometres.

Annual Report – Period Ended 31 December 2010 Page 7

Available production records indicate that the Rocky River-Uralla Goldfield yielded 5,193 kg (approximately 167,000 ounces) of gold mostly from tertiary deep leads during the period 1858-1967.

Sovereign Gold’s exploration objective is to locate the hard rock ore sources.

Hudson holds 40 million shares representing 56% of the issued capital of Sovereign Gold.

Archer Exploration Limited (ASX: AXE)

Archer Exploration Limited (Archer) is an Australian mining company listed on the ASX and is a copper, gold and uranium explorer focused on the discovery of ore deposits. Archer owns a portfolio of projects, covering an area in excess of 7,000 km2, in the highly prospective Gawler Craton and Adelaide Fold Belt regions of South Australia. Archer’s Evelyn Dam prospect in the West Roxby Project is an iron ore-copper-gold-uranium (IOCG-U) target which has a gravity anomaly similar in size to the nearby Olympic Dam operations.

Hudson Resources holds 6.5 million shares representing 10% of the issued capital of Archer.

HIGL holds 6.2 million shares representing 9.6% of Archer.

Precious Metal Resources Limited

Raffles is seeking to commit some $1.25 million toward exploration on the PMR tenements.

PMR1 Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of PMR is the holder of Exploration Licences 5339, 4474 and 7679 (PMR Tenements) located at Halls Peak, 80 km south-east of Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.

Halls Peak is the inferred volcanic centre for extensive small but high grade Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits rich in copper, lead, zinc and silver, with variable but largely untested gold values. Further exploration aims to locate the right depositional environment to host a major deposit in excess of 100,000 tonnes (t). Several geochemical and geophysical anomalies are also present that should identify further high grade, near-surface sulphides.

Additional to the VMS prospectivity, there are indications for the presence of orogenic gold from breccia floaters and small pods of Au–rich quartz on the tenements carrying 1 to 10 g/t Au(fieldwork by vendors, Leu reports).

A substantial body of exploration data has been generated over the years by the Geology Survey of NSW and a number of major mining companies including, BHP Ltd., MIM Ltd., The Zinc Corporation, Allstate Exploration NL, Carpentaria Exploration Co. Ltd., CRA Exploration Limited and Amoco Minerals Australia Co. Raffles, through PMR will expand on this work, unhindered by the plethora of small prospectors that originally held prime areas.

Exploration will focus on the three key known sulphide bodies initially aiming to bring them to a proven resource stage quite rapidly through a diamond and reverse circulation drilling program.

PMR Proposed Development Program

1. Mining

Currently, the main areas of interest are the Gibsons Mine Area, Faints-Firefly and Khans Creek Lode, which at today’s prices are highly attractive targets. The sulphide lenses outcrop and only short adits were required to access the sulphide, e.g. BHP’s adit (1973) was developed for only 27m to intersect the sulphides at Khans Creek. The Silver Tunnel is accessible at surface via a direct drive on the sulphides and all lodes are accessible by existing dirt roads, however the topography is steep and the width of the roads currently limits the size of trucks to haul ore.

It is likely on current limited assay data that useful gold credits will be available once mining starts. Compared to other metals, there are relatively few assays of the gold content of massive sulphides. Gold, where assayed, is often low and recorded as a trace.

In the Gibsons Mine Area, there is the possibility that pattern drilling may reveal a sufficient density of small stacked stratabound VMS bodies to support open cut mining. As these essentially occur at surface, only a short adit is needed to access the sulphide. If the general grade of potential ore lenses at Hall Peak have a gold equivalent of 0.7 to 2 oz/t (based on numerous reports including those by Vendor, Leu reports), as currently indicated, then shallow narrow vein mining should be cost effective. The intention is to ship unprocessed ore to off-take buyers for direct smelting.

An independent engineering study will be commissioned to review the mine development costs, (capital costs), exploration and mine production costs, infrastructure costs, transport costs, and port costs, to direct ship Gibson’s ore.

To produce direct shipping ore from the Gibson’s and Milking Cow lodes will require an engineering feasibility study covering stockpiling, blending, stripping ratio and waste disposal.

An approximate estimate of the drilling cost is $0.5M. Given a sulphide body the size of Gibson’s, the total value of a tonne of possible ore is approximately $1,700. If costs of extraction and processing are between $700 and $800/t, the project has a potential value of around $33M; more if extensions are found. This has to be offset by the capital expenditure at the mine, local infrastructure upgrades (roads) and a possible upgrading of the bridge over the Chandler River.

2. Metallurgy and Treatment

Fine grinding and flotation tests will be undertaken to establish if saleable concentrates of galena (lead), sphalerite (zinc), copper (chalcopyrites) and silver can be produced from the ores. If successful, the company will be able to generate a cash flow early in the exploration program that underpins the initial capital investment. Alternatively, the Run-Of-Mine ore can be crushed to ⅛ inch and concentrated on tables for direct shipping.

The Silver Tunnel silver-rich sulphides average 25.23% Pb and 50.9 oz Ag (in Leu, 1998).

3. Exploration

Exploration will focus on the three key known sulphide bodies initially and bring them to a proven resource stage quite rapidly through a diamond and reverse circulation drilling program.

The principal exploration objective will be to pattern drill the Gibsons Mine area, specifically the Gibson’s No. 1 Lode. This near-surface mine area was diamond drilled in 1970 by Allstate Exploration and interpretation of drillhole data showed apparent widths of 3-5m, possibly open to the northwest. Mineralisation will most probably consist of a series of lensy, discontinuous sulphide pods rather than a coherent structure.

Exploration will also extend over the numerous superficially explored lodes (e.g. the Swedes Tunnel Lode and the sulphide bodies at Devils Drop and Sunnyside Field, etc.) and prospective gossans and geochemical and geophysical anomalies. F

Executive’s remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually having regard to relevant comparative information and independent expert advice. As well as basic salary, remuneration packages include superannuation. Directors are also able to participate in an Employee Share Option Plan. Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended to attract and retain executives capable of managing the Group’s operations. Consideration is also given to reasonableness, acceptability to shareholders and appropriateness for the current level of operations. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is determined by the Board based on recommendations from the Remuneration Committee and the maximum amount approved by shareholders from time to time. Cash bonuses Cash bonuses granted to directors and officers are at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee. No bonus was granted for the financial year ended 31 December 2010. Performance conditions The elements of remuneration as detailed within the Remuneration Report are dependent on the satisfaction of the individual’s performance and the Group’s financial performance.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Overview

The Company and the Board of Directors are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance and aim to comply with the “Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations” set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.

However, given the current size of both the Company's operations and the Board of Directors, it is not appropriate, cost effective or practical to comply fully with those principles and recommendations.

Where a recommendation has not been followed this fact has been disclosed together with the reasons for the departure.

Consistent with the ASX best practice recommendations, the Company’s corporate government practices are regularly reviewed.

Compliance with ASX Corporate Governance Council best practice recommendations

The ASX listing rules requires public listed companies to include in their annual report a statement regarding the extent to which they have adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council best practice recommendations.

This statement provides details of the Company’s adoption of the best practice recommendations.

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight.

Companies should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management.

Board Responsibilities

The Board of Directors is accountable to shareholders for the performance of the group. In carrying out its responsibilities, the board undertakes to serve the interest of shareholders honestly, fairly and diligently.

The Board’s responsibilities are encompassed in a formal charter. The charter is reviewed annually to determine whether any changes are necessary or desirable.

The responsibilities of the Board include:

reporting to shareholders and the market;

ensuring adequate risk management processes exist and are complied with;

reviewing internal controls and external audit reports;

ensuring regulatory compliance;

monitoring financial performance, including approval of the annual and half-yearly financial reports and liaison with the Company’s auditors;

reviewing the performance of senior management;

monitoring the Board composition, Director selection and Board processes and performance;

validating and approving corporate strategy;

reviewing the assumptions and rationale underlying the annual plans and approving such plans; and

authorising and monitoring major investment and strategic commitments.

Director’s Education

The Company issues a formal letter of appointment for new Directors setting out the terms and conditions relevant to that appointment and the expectations of the role of the Director.

The Company also provides a formal induction process which provides key information on the nature of the business and its operations.

Continuing education is provided via the regular Board updates provided by the divisional chief executives.

Role of Chairman and Chief-Executive Officer

The Chairman is responsible for leading the Board, ensuring that Board activities are organised and efficiently conducted and for ensuring the Directors are properly briefed for meetings. The Chairman is also responsible for implementing the Consolidated Entity’s strategies and Board policies.

Raffles Capital Limited and controlled entities ABN 66 009 106 049 Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Annual Report – Period Ended 30 April 2010 Page 19

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been delegated responsibilities for managing the day to day operations of the Company.

A formal charter is in place which lays out the duties and responsibilities of the CEO.

This charter also requires that the responsibilities and accountabilities of both the board of Directors and the CEO are clearly defined. The assessment and monitoring of the CEO is the chief responsibility of the board.

Performance is assessed against pre-determined objectives on a regular basis.

The Chairman’s other responsibilities include:

- Ensuring that general meetings are conducted efficiently and that shareholders have adequate opportunity to express their views and obtain answers to their queries.

- Present the view of the Board formally.

Principle 2 – Structure the board to add value

Companies should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties.

Board of Directors

Composition of the board

The Board is comprised of one Executive Director and three Non-Executive Directors, all of whom have a broad range of skills and expertise.

There are three independent Directors. In determining independence the board has regard to the guidelines of Directors independence in the ASX Corporate Governance Council and Best Practice Recommendations and other best practice guidelines.

The Board considers that its composition provides for the timely and efficient decision making required for the Company in its current circumstances.

The Board’s size and composition is subject to limits imposed by the Company’s constitution which provides for a minimum of three Directors and a maximum of ten.

Details of the members of the Board, their experience, expertise and qualifications are set out in the Directors’ Report on pages 9-11.

The position / status and term in office of each Director at the date of this report is as follows:

Name of Director Position/Status Term in Office

Tan Sri Ibrahim Menudin Chairman/ Independent 1 year 3 months

Vincent Tan Executive Director / Non-Independent 1 year 3 months

Richard Yap Non-Executive Director / Independent 1 year 2 months

Benjamin Amzalak Non-Executive Director / Independent 1 year

The Board currently holds four scheduled meetings each year together with any ad hoc meetings as may be necessary. The Board met seven times during the year and Directors’ attendance is disclosed on page 11 of the Directors’ Report.

Access to Independent Professional Advice

All Directors are required to bring an independent judgement to bear on board decisions.

To facilitate this, each Director has the right of access to all relevant Company information and to the Company’s Executives. The Directors also have access to external resources as required to fully discharge their obligations as Directors of the Company. The use of this resource is co-ordinated through the chairman of the board.

Annual Report – Period Ended 30 April 2010 Page 20

Nomination Committee

The role of the nominations committee is undertaken by the full board.

The Board reviews its composition on an annual basis to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience. When a vacancy exists, for whatever reason, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new Director with particular skills, the Board will select appropriate candidates with relevant qualifications, skills and experience. External advisers may be used to assist in such a process. The Board will then appoint the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders.

For Directors retiring by rotation, the board assesses the Director before recommending re-election.

The ASX Corporate Governance Council's "Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations" recommends the appointment of a Nomination Committee for prospective Board appointments. The Board considers that the Company and the Board are currently not of sufficient size to justify the establishment of a separate Nomination Committee.

Board Performance Evaluation

The Company has processes in place to review the performance of the Board and its committees and individual Directors. Each year the Board of Directors give consideration to broad corporate governance matters, including the relevance of existing committees and to reviewing its own and individual Directors performance. The Chairman is responsible for monitoring the contribution of individual Directors and consulting with them in any areas of improvement.

Individual Directors use an approved form to assess the performance of the board and the chairman.

Principle 3 – Promote ethical and responsible decision making

Companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision making.

Code of Conduct

The Board acknowledges the need for continued maintenance of the highest standards of Corporate Governance Practices and ethical conduct by all Directors and employees of the Consolidated Entity.

The Company has established a code of conduct applicable to all Directors and employees. The requirement to comply with the code is mandatory and is communicated to all employees. The code sets out standards of conduct, behaviour and professionalism.

The shareholder communications strategy, the securities trading policy and the continuous disclosure policy collectively form a solid foundation for the Company’s ethical practices.

Policy on Dealing in Company Securities

The Company has a policy on how and when the Directors and employees may deal in the Company’s securities.

In addition to these legal and regulatory restrictions, the Company has adopted a robust trading policy whereby trading in Company shares are prohibited under certain circumstances, and short-term trading is discouraged.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the Directors and employees deal in the Company’s securities in a manner which properly reflects their fiduciary duty, and that they do not transact in those securities whilst in possession of price sensitive information.

This policy requires that all Directors and Senior Executives to disclose their share trade intentions to the Managing Director or Chairman prior to dealing in the Company’s securities.

The Company maintains compliance standards and procedures to ensure that the policy is properly implemented. In addition there is also an internal review mechanism to assess compliance and effectiveness. Details of both the Company’s Code of Conduct and Share Trading Policy which, among other things, describes ‘closed periods’ and ‘prohibited periods’ that describes when trading is restricted. These policies have been lodged with the ASX and are contained on the Company’s website under Corporate Governance.

Annual Report – Period Ended 31 December 2010 Page 21

Diversity and Gender

The Board embraces the view that “diversity is an economic driver of competitiveness for companies” (from Corporate Governance Principles with 2010 Recommendations). The Board’s substantial international experience arises from the diversity of its members’ cultural background. At this stage, the Board has not formalised a diversity policy as suggested in Recommendation 3.2. It is the Board’s position that the spirit of this Recommendation is self-evident from the structure of the Board and its senior management team. The Company has likewise yet to adopt Recommendations 3.3 and 3.4. These Recommendations require that a diversity policy include measurement objectives for facilitating greater participation of woman to the Board, and produce tables describing the proportion of females across the Company’s Board, management and employee tiers. The implementation of an appropriate diversity policy to reflect the circumstances of the Company and the industry in which the Company operates is currently under review. The Board wishes to note that it supports these Recommendations in principle and anticipates their adoption in the near future.

Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

Companies should have a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting.

Audit Committee

The role of the Audit Committee is undertaken by the full board.

The committee did not meet during the year and the members’ attendance records is disclosed in the table of Directors’ meetings included in the Directors’ Report on page 11.

The committee has a formal charter which has been reviewed by the committee and the board.

The minutes of the committee meetings are reviewed in the subsequent meeting of the board and the chairman of the committee reports on the committees conclusions and recommendations.

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include:

reviewing the annual and half year financial reports to ensure compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and generally accepted accounting principles;

monitoring corporate risk management practices;

review and approval of the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies and procedures;

reviewing the nomination, performance and independence of the external auditors; and

organising, reviewing and reporting on any special reviews or investigations deemed necessary by the Board.

The structure of the audit committee does not comply with recommendations 4.2 in that it does not consist of only non-executive Directors. This matter continues to be under review and as circumstances allow consideration will be given to the appropriate time to adopt the ASX Corporate Governance Guideline.

The audit committee has received confirmation in writing from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that:

The Company’s Financial Report for the financial year ended presents a true and fair view in all material respects of the Company’s financial position and operational result and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

External Auditors

The full Board is responsible for the appointment, removal and remuneration of the external auditors, and reviewing the terms of their engagement, and the scope and quality of the audit. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Board receives regular reports from management and the external auditors at least once a year, or more frequently if necessary. The external auditors have a clear line of direct communication at any time to the Chairman of the Board.

The current auditors, K.S. Black & Co, were appointed in 2010. The Australian accounting bodies’ statement on professional independence requires mandatory rotation of audit partners for listed companies every five years. K.S. Black & Co confirms that they conform with the requirements of this statement.

K.S. Black & Co are required to attend the Annual General Meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure

Companies should promote timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the Company.

The Company promotes timely and balanced disclosure of any material matters concerning the Company.

The Company has a written policy on information disclosure that focuses on continuous disclosure of any information concerning the Company and its controlled entities that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the Company’s securities.

The Company Secretary in consultation with the Chairman and CEO, is responsible for communications with the ASX. He is also responsible for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the general public.

Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders

Companies should respect the rights of shareholders and facilitate the effective exercise of those rights.

Communication with Shareholders

The Board recognises and respects the rights of our shareholders as the beneficial owners of the Company. In order to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights, the Company follows a communications strategy that aims to empower shareholders by:

communicating effectively with them; providing easy access to balanced and understandable information about the Company; and encouraging and facilitating shareholder participation in general meetings.

The Company achieves this through the following avenues:

i) Regular mailings The Company provides shareholders with copies of all announcements made to the ASX by mail on request. Copies are also available via an electronic link to the ASX web site, ensuring that all shareholders are kept informed about the Company.

Shareholders also have the option of receiving a hard copy of the Annual Report each year.

ii) General meetings All shareholders are invited to attend the Annual General Meetings which are held at the Company’s Registered Office in Sydney. The full Board and senior executives are present and available to answer questions from the floor, as are the External Auditor and a representative from the Company’s legal advisors.

Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk

Companies should establish a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control.

The Board oversees the establishment, implementation and review of the Company’s Risk management System. To ensure it meets its responsibilities, the Board has implemented appropriate systems for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing material risk throughout the organisation.

Management is required to provide monthly status reports to the Board which identify potential areas of business risk arising from changes in the financial and economic circumstances of its operating environment.

The Board regularly assess the Company’s performance in light of risks identified by such reports.

Management are also required to design implement and review the Company’s risk management and internal control system. The Board reviews the effectiveness of the implementation of the Company’s risk management and internal control on a regular basis.

The Board does not employ an internal auditor, although as part of the Company’s strategy to implement an integrated framework of control, the Board requested the external auditors review internal control procedures. Recommendations once presented are considered by the Board.

The Chairman and Chief Financial Officer have stated in writing to the Board that:

The Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view in all material respects of the Company’s financial condition and operating results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

The integrity of the financial statements is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board. The Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently in all material respects.

The Board requires this declaration to be made bi-annually. Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Annual Report – Period Ended 31 December 2010 Page 28

Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 31 December 2010

1. Corporate Information

The financial report of Raffles Capital Limited (the Company) for the period ended 31 December 2010 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 29 March, 2011 and covers the Company as an individual entity as well as the Consolidated Entity consisting of the Company and its subsidiaries as required by the Corporations Act 2001. During the year, the Company changed its financial reporting date to 31 December 2010.

The financial report is presented in Australian currency.

The Company is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). At this time, the Company’s shares are suspended from trading.

2. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

a Basis of Preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncement of the Australian Accountancy Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Statement of Compliance

Australian Accounting Standards ('AASBs') include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report of Raffles Capital Limited complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Estimates and judgements 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 entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Details of critical accounting estimates and assumptions about the future made by management at reporting date are set out below:

Impairment of assets

The Company assess 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. Calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Critical judgements

Management have made the following judgements when applying the Group's accounting policies:

Recognition of deferred tax assets

In line with the Group’s accounting policy (Note 2f) and as disclosed in Note 6, deferred tax assets have not been recognised.

Measurement of financial assets

If there is an active market for financial assets they have been fair valued in line with market prices, if not they are carried at cost.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for where noted in these accounting policies.

Annual Report – Period Ended 31 December 2010 Page 29

b Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Raffles Capital Limited (“the parent entity”) as at 31 December 2010 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. The Company and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a 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 de-consolidated 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 Consolidated Entity 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Raffles Capital Limited.

c 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. Reporting to management by segments is on this basis

d Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the

currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Raffles Capital Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates

prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(iii) Group companies The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different

from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the

closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position; income and expenses for each Statement of Comprehensive Income are translated at average

exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

e Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of Goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and can be reliably measured. Risks and rewards are considered passed to buyer when goods have been delivered to the customer.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset

f 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. 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.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

The Company and its wholly owned entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian Taxation law. Raffles Capital Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach.

Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

The amounts receivable/payable under tax funding arrangements are due upon notification by the entity which is issued soon after the end of each financial year. Interim funding notices may also be issued by the head entity to its wholly owned subsidiaries. These amounts are recognised as current inter-company receivables or payables.

g Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation

authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are included in Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

h Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and in at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, investment in money market instruments maturing within less than 6 months, net of bank overdrafts.

i Trade and other 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 60 days from the date of recognition.

Collectability 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 entities in the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

j Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

k 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). Non financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting period.

l Financial Instruments

Recognition and initial 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.

Annual Report – Period Ended 31 December 2010 Page 32

Classification and subsequent measurement

Finance 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:

(a) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; (b) less principal repayments; (c) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially

recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the 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.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.

(ii) 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 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 reporting date. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.)

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments 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 reporting date. (All other investments are classified as current assets.) If during the period the Group sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to be disposed of within 12 months after reporting date. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets.)

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

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 the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is 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.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires 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 where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value 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.

m Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the Statement of Financial Position date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by entities in the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. Entities in the Consolidated Entity use a variety of methods and make assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to entities in the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments.

n Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

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

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to the asset

revaluation reserve in equity. A revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included within shareholder’s equity unless it reverses a revaluation decrease on the same asset previously recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. A revaluation deficit is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income unless it directly offsets a previous revaluation surplus on the same asset in the asset revaluation reserve. On disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to sold assets is transferred to retained earnings. Independent valuations are performed regularly to ensure the carrying amounts of land and buildings do not differ materially from the fair value at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

- Plant and equipment 5 – 15 years - Buildings 30 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Statement of Financial Position 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 (note 2 (m)).

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

o Investment property

Investment property is held for long-term rental yields and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property is carried at fair value, which is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices in less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. These valuations are reviewed annually. Changes in fair values are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of other income.

p Tenement exploration, valuation and development costs.

Costs incurred in the exploration for, and evaluation of, tenements for suitable resources are carried forward as assets provided that one of the following conditions is met:

the carrying values are expected to be justified through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or

exploration activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of recoverable mineral resources, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Expenses failing to meet at least one of the aforementioned conditions are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the commercial development of resources are deferred to future periods, provided they are, beyond any reasonable doubt, expected to be recoverable. These costs are be amortised from the commencement of commercial production of the product to which they relate on a straight-line basis over the period of the expected benefit.

q Leases

Company as lessee Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases and capitalised at inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property, or if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the net asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of incentives received from

the lessor) are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Company as lessor

Lease income from operating leases is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying value of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same bases as the lease income.

r Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of

financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

s Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the period of the loans and borrowings using the effective interest method.

t Employee benefits

Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Personal Sick Leave Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating personal sick leave expected to be settled within one year of Statement of Financial Position date are recognised in other liabilities in respect of employees' services rendered up to Statement of Financial Position date and are measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating personal sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. Long Service Leave The liability for long serve leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

u Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.

v Share-based payments Ownership-based remuneration is provided to employees via an employee share option plan.

Share-based compensation is recognised as an expense in respect of the services received, measured on a fair value basis.

The fair value of the options at grant date is independently determined using a Black Sholes 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.

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each Statement of Financial Position date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.

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

w Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

x New Accounting Standards for Application

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. There are no standards and interpretations applicable.

y Status of ASX trading halt

The consolidated entity sold its property investment business to a third party in August 2005, representing the loss of its core business activity at that time. Since then the consolidated entity has had the principal activity of investing cash reserves in short term deposits. Management requested a trading halt on 24 April 2007.

During the year under review, management have pursued various business opportunities in a bid to resume operation of the property investment business and obtain ASX approval for the trading halt to be lifted.

The Company is actively pursuing ventures as well as working with ASX to ensure compliance with its requirements as a listed entity and is working towards its reinstatement.

3. Financial risk management

a. General objectives, policies and processes

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and polices and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The Groups' risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material.

The Board receives reports from the Chief Financial Officer through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The Group’s finance function is to also review the risk management policies and processes and report their findings to the Audit Committee.

The overall objective of the Board is to set polices that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

b. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors or counterparties to derivative contracts fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group excluding the available for sale financial assets.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount of the financial assets, as summarised under note(a) above.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date, all located in Australia, as summarised under note (a) above.

c. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that is, borrowing repayments. Bank loans and payable are details below. It is the policy of the Board of Directors that treasury reviews and maintains adequate committed credit facilities. The company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flow and maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to ensure adequate liquid funds are maintained.

d. Market Risk

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk).

(i) Interest rate risk The Group does not apply hedge accounting.

The Group is constantly monitoring its exposure to trends and fluctuations in interest rates in order to manage interest rate risk.

The consolidated entity’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the consolidated entity’s short term deposits held.

Sensitivity Analysis The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible changes in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profit after tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group’s equity.

There is no concentration of risk.

e. Capital Risk Management

In managing its capital, the Group’s primary objectives are to pay dividends and maintain liquidity. These objectives dictate any adjustments to capital structure. Rather than set policies, advice is taken from professional advisors as to how to achieve these objectives. There has been no change in either these objectives, or what is considered capital in the year.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets.

Consistently with others in the industry, the Group and the parent entity monitor capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including 'Financial liabilities' and 'trade and other payables' as shown in the Statement of Financial Position) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the Statement of Financial Position (including minority interest) plus net debt.

It is the Group’s policy to maintain its gearing ratio at a healthy and manageable level. The Group’s gearing ratio at the Statement of Financial Position date is nil (2009: nil)

There have been no other significant changes to the Group’s capital management objectives, policies and processes in the year nor has there been any change in what the Group considers to be its capital.

The deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent of the deferred tax liability where it is not probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise the temporary differences in excess of the deferred tax liabilities.

The group has generated sufficient taxable income in the current and prior periods. However, if a significant new investment is undertaken by the company (refer to the Directors’ report) current levels of taxable income may not be sustained in immediate future periods. As a result, a deferred tax asset balance greater than the deferred tax liability balance has not been recognised.
