Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
This Financial Report, comprising the financial statements and the notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to be consistent with current period disclosures.
The Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except for investments, which have been measured at fair value.
Accounting judgements and estimates
In the course of its operations the company applies judgements and makes estimates that affect the amounts recognised in the financial report. Estimates are based on a combination of historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable at the time.
Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
Accounting Standards that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted for the reporting period ending 31 December 2007, except IFRS8 Operating Segments. The adoption of IFRS8 has removed the requirement for Operating Segment disclosures in this Financial Report.
When applied in future periods, all other recently issued or amended standards are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s results or financial position; however they may impact Financial Report disclosures.
Changes in accounting policy
Since 1 January 2007, the company has adopted a number of Accounting Standards and Interpretations which were mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. Adoption of these Standards and Interpretations has not had any effect on the financial position or performance of the Company.
Operating revenue
Operating revenue comprises general insurance earned premiums, recoveries, investment income and interest income. Investment income is brought to account on an accrual basis. Other underwriting income comprises of sundry receipts.
Premium Revenue and Unearned premiums
(i) Premium revenue
General insurance premiums comprise amounts charged to policyholders or other insurers, including fire service levies, but excluding stamp duties and GST collected on behalf of third parties. The earned portion of premiums received and receivable, including unclosed business, is recognised as operating revenue. Movements in the provisions for impairment of premium receivables have been included in premium revenue.
(ii) Unearned premiums
Unearned premiums represent premium revenue attributable to future accounting periods. Unearned premium is determined by apportioning the premiums written in the year evenly over the period of insurance cover, reflecting the pattern in which risk emerges under these policies.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Unexpired risk liability
The adequacy of the unearned premium liability in respect of each class of business is assessed by considering current estimates of all expected future cash flows relating to future claims covered by current insurance contracts.
If the present value of the expected future cash flows relating to future claims exceeds the unearned premium liability less related intangible assets and related deferred acquisition costs then the unearned premium liability is deemed to be deficient.
The entire deficiency is recognised immediately in the income statement. The deficiency is recognised first by writing down any related intangible assets and then related deferred acquisition costs, with any excess being recorded in the balance sheet as an unexpired risk liability.
Outstanding Claims
The liability for outstanding claims is measured as the best estimate of the present value of expected future payments against claims incurred at the reporting date under general insurance contracts issued by the Company, with an additional risk margin to allow for the inherent uncertainty in the best estimate.
The expected future payments include those in relation to claims reported but not yet paid; claims incurred but not reported (IBNR), claims incurred but not enough reported (IBNER) and anticipated claims handling costs.
Claims handling costs include costs that can be associated directly with individual claims, such as legal and other professional fees, and costs that can only be indirectly associated with individual claims, such as claims administration costs.
The liability includes an allowance for inflation and superimposed inflation and is measured as the present value of the expected future ultimate cost of settling claims. The expected future payments are discounted to present value using a risk free rate.
A risk margin is applied to the outstanding claims liability, net of reinsurance and other recoveries, to reflect the inherent uncertainty in the best estimate. This risk margin increases the probability that the net liability is adequately provided for to a 75% confidence level.
Outwards reinsurance premium expense and deferred reinsurance premium
Premiums ceded to reinsurers are recognised as an expense over the period of cover using the methods applicable to premium revenue as set out in the premium revenue note above.
Reinsurance and other recoveries
Reinsurance and other recoveries consist of receivables on paid claims and outstanding claims and are recognised as revenue when claims are paid or the outstanding claim is raised. Reinsurance receivables are discounted to present value consistent with the discounting of outstanding claims. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The impairment charge is recognised in the income statement. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Fire brigade levies and other statutory charges
A liability for fire brigade levies and other statutory charges is recognised on business written to the balance date. Levies and charges payable are expensed on the same basis as the recognition of the related premium revenue, with the portion relating to unearned premiums being reported as deferred statutory charges.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investment Income
Dividend and interest income is recognised in the income statement on an effective interest method when the entity obtains control of the right to receive the revenue.
Realised gains and losses represent the change in value between the previously reported value and the amount received on sale of the asset. Unrealised gains and losses represent changes in the fair value of financial assets recognised in the period.
Assets backing general insurance liabilities
As part of its investment strategy, the Company actively manages its investment portfolio to ensure that investments mature in accordance with the expected pattern of future cash flows arising from general insurance liabilities.
The Company has determined that all assets are held to back general insurance liabilities on the basis that all assets of the Company are available for the settlement of claims if required. The following policies apply to assets held to back general insurance liabilities.
Financial assets
Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss. Initial recognition is at cost in the balance sheet and subsequent measurement is at fair value with any resultant unrealised gains or losses recognised in the income statement. Details of fair value for the different types of financial assets are listed below:
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand that is available on demand and deposits held at call with financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value, being the principal amount. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash also includes other highly liquid investments not subject to significant risk of change in value.
Cash trusts
The fair value of units in a listed cash trust reflects the quoted bid price at balance date. There is no reduction for realisation costs in the value of units in a cash trust. Unlisted unit trusts are recorded at fund managers valuations.
Debt securities
Debt securities are initially recognised at fair value, representing the purchase cost of the asset exclusive of any transaction costs. Debt securities are subsequently measured at fair value, with any realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in the income statement for the period in which they arise. The fair value of a traded interest bearing security reflects the bid price at balance date. Interest bearing securities that are not frequently traded are valued by discounting the estimated recoverable amounts, using prevailing interest rates. Debt securities are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Derivatives
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at their fair value. All derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive, and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Derivatives are exchange traded and are fair valued using their publicly quoted bid price on the date of valuation.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Tax
Income tax
Income tax expense is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period based on the income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to: (i) temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their balance sheet carrying amounts, and (ii) unused tax losses.
Deferred tax
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 for each jurisdiction.
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.
Tax Consolidation
AMP Limited, TGI Australia Ltd and certain other wholly owned controlled entities of AMP Limited comprise a tax-consolidated group of which AMP Limited is the head entity. The implementation date for the tax-consolidated group was 30 June 2003.
Under tax consolidation, AMP Limited as head entity, assumes the following balances from subsidiaries within the tax-consolidated group:
(i) Current tax balances arising from external transactions recognised by entities in the tax-consolidated group occurring after the implementation date, and;
(ii) Deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits recognised by entities in the tax-consolidated group occurring after the implementation date.
A tax funding agreement has been entered into by the head entity and the controlled entities in the tax-consolidated group. Controlled entities in the tax-consolidated group will continue to be responsible, by the operation of the tax funding agreement, for funding tax payments required to be made by the head entity arising from underlying transactions of the controlled entities. Controlled entities will make (receive) contributions to (from) the head entity for the balances recognised by the head entity described in (i) and (ii) above. The contributions will be calculated in accordance with the tax funding agreement.
Assets and liabilities which arise as a result of differences between the periods in which the underlying transactions occur, and the period in which the funding payments under the tax funding agreement are made, are recognised as intercompany balances receivable and payable in the balance sheet. The recoverability of balances arising from the tax funding arrangements is based on the ability of the tax-consolidated group to utilise the amounts recognised by the head entity.
The entity will be required to make a payment to terminate its liability under the tax funding agreement if it leaves the tax consolidation group.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
All revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of any GST paid, except where they relate to products and services which are input taxed for GST purposes or the GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant tax authorities. In such circumstances, the GST paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the particular expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the tax authorities is included as a receivable or payable in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are reported on a gross basis reflecting any GST paid or collected. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, local tax authorities are classified as operating cash flows.
Foreign currency transactions and translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the functional currency). The presentation currency of this financial report, and the functional currency, is Australian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Income and expense items denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at balance sheet date, with exchange gains and losses recognised in the income statement. The corresponding foreign currency translations of overseas outstanding claims liabilities and receivables are reported as a component of claims expense and premium revenue, respectively. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Receivables
Receivables are financial assets and are measured at fair value. Given the short-term nature of most receivables, the recoverable amount approximates fair value. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The impairment charge is recognised in the income statement. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Payables
Trade creditors and accruals are recognised as liabilities for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the entity.
Amounts Due To or From Related Parties
Amounts are carried at fair value being nominal amounts due and payable. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that the related party will not be able to pay its debt.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Company makes estimates and assumptions in respect of certain key assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key areas in which critical estimates and judgements are applied are described below.
(a) The ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts
Provision is made at year-end for the estimated cost of claims incurred but not settled at the balance sheet date, including the cost of claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company.
The estimated cost of claims includes direct expenses to be incurred in settling claims gross of the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure that it has appropriate information regarding its claims exposures. However, given the uncertainty in establishing claims provisions, it is likely that the final outcome will prove to be different from the original liability established.
The estimation of claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) is generally subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than the estimation of the cost of settling claims already notified to the Company, where more information about the claim event is generally available. IBNR claims may often not be reported to the insurer until many years after the events giving rise to the claims has happened. The liability class of business will typically display greater variations between initial estimates and final outcomes because there is a greater degree of difficulty in estimating IBNR reserves. For the short tail class, claims are typically reported soon after the claim event, and hence tend to display lower levels of volatility. In calculating the estimated cost of unpaid claims the Company uses a variety of estimation techniques, generally based upon analysis of historical experience, which assumes that the development pattern of the current claims will be consistent with past experience. Allowance is made, however, for changes or uncertainties which may create distortions in the underlying statistics or which might cause the cost of unsettled claims to increase or reduce when compared with the cost of previously settled claims including:
    changes in Company processes which might accelerate or slow down the development and/or recording of paid or incurred claims, compared with the statistics from previous periods;
 
    changes in the legal environment;
 
    the effects of inflation;
 
    the impact of large losses;
 
    movements in industry benchmarks.
Where possible the Company adopts multiple techniques to estimate the required level of provisions. This assists in giving greater understanding of the trends inherent in the data being projected. The projections given by the various methodologies also assist in setting the range of possible outcomes. The most appropriate estimation technique is selected taking into account the characteristics of the business class and the extent of the development of each accident year.
Provisions are calculated gross of any reinsurance recoveries. A separate estimate is made of the amounts that will be recoverable from reinsurers based upon the gross provisions.
Details of specific assumptions used in deriving the outstanding claims liability at year-end are detailed in note 3.
(b) Assets arising from reinsurance contracts
Assets arising from reinsurance contracts are also computed using the above methods. In addition, the recoverability of these assets is assessed on a periodic basis to ensure that the balance is reflective of the amounts that will ultimately be received, taking into consideration factors such as counterparty and credit risk. Impairment is recognised where there is objective evidence that the Company may not receive amounts due to it and these amounts can be reliably measured.

3. ACTUARIAL METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Claims estimates are derived from analysis of the results of several different actuarial models. These models take case estimates as well as payments into account and assume that reported incurred amounts or reported payment amounts will develop steadily from period to period. Other models adopt an ultimate loss ratio for each year that reflects both the long term expected level, as well as incorporating recent experience. The analysis is performed by accident year for the direct insurance class.
Claims are first estimated on an undiscounted basis and are then discounted to allow for the time value of money. The valuation methods adopted include an implicit allowance for future inflation but do not identify the explicit rate. This allows for both general economic inflation as well as any superimposed inflation detected in the modelling of payments experience. Superimposed inflation arises from non-economic factors such as developments of legal precedent.
The liability class of business may be subject to the emergence of new types of latent claims, but no specific allowance is included for this as at the balance sheet date. Such uncertainties are considered when setting the risk margin appropriate for this class.
A description of the processes used to determine the key assumptions is provided below:
The average weighted term to settlement is calculated separately by class of business, based on historical settlement patterns.
The reinsurance percentage is calculated based on past reinsurance recovery rates and the structure of the reinsurance arrangements in place.
The discount rates are derived from market yields on Government securities as at the balance date, in the currency of the expected claim payments.
Expense rate. Claim handling expenses are calculated based on the projected costs of administering the remaining claims until expiry.
The ultimate to incurred claims ratio is derived by accident or underwriting year based on historical development of claims from period to period.
The effect of changes in the assumptions have been shown in the reconciliations of general insurance assets and liabilities in Note 15.
Process for determining risk margin
The risk margin was determined initially for each portfolio, allowing for the uncertainty of the outstanding claims estimate for each portfolio. Uncertainty was analysed for each portfolio taking into account past volatility in general insurance claims, potential uncertainties relating to the actuarial models and assumptions, the quality of the underlying data used in the models, and the general insurance environment. The estimate of uncertainty is generally greater for long tailed classes when compared to short tail classes due to the longer time until settlement of outstanding claims.
The overall risk margin was determined allowing for diversification between the different portfolios and the relative uncertainty of each portfolio. The assumptions regarding uncertainty for each class were applied to the net central estimates, and the results were aggregated, allowing for diversification in order to arrive at an overall provision that is intended to have a 75% probability of adequacy.

3. ACTUARIAL METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
Sensitivity analysis — general insurance contracts
There are a number of variables which impact the amounts recognised in the financial statements arising from insurance contracts.
The profit or loss and equity of the Company are sensitive to movements in a number of key variables as described below.
     
Variable   Description of variable
 
Average weighted term to settlement
  Expected payment patterns are used in determining the outstanding claims liability. A decrease in the average term to settlement would lead to claims being paid sooner than anticipated.
 
   
Discount rate
  The outstanding claims liability is calculated by reference to expected future payments. These payments are discounted to adjust for the time value of money.
 
   
Expense rate
  An estimate for the internal costs of administering claims is included in the outstanding claims liability.
 
   
Ultimate to incurred claims ratio
  The estimated ultimate claims cost is generally greater than the claims reported as incurred to date, due to claims that are incurred but not reported (IBNR) or due to future developments on existing claims.
 
   
Reinsurance percentage
  Assumes money will be recoverable from reinsurers on future claims paid.
The following table provides an analysis of the sensitivity of the profit after income tax and total equity to changes in these assumptions both gross and net of reinsurance.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES & FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company’s policies and procedures in respect of managing risks are set out in this note below.
The Board has ultimate responsibility for risk management and governance, including ensuring an appropriate risk framework is in place and is operating effectively. There are, however, other bodies and individuals associated with the Company that manage and monitor financial risk.
The Board
The Board is responsible for the approval of policy regarding shareholder capital investment strategy, policyholder asset and liability strategy and setting the financial risk appetite.
The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring the existence of effective financial risk management policies and procedures.
The Approved Actuary
The Approved Actuary is responsible for reporting on solvency and capital adequacy. A Financial Condition report (FCR) and an Insurance Liability Valuation report (ILVR) must be provided to the Board and the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) at least annually, the ILVR must be peer reviewed annually by an external independent actuary. The Insurance Act also imposers obligations on the Approved Actuary to bring to the attention of the company or in certain circumstances APRA any matter that the Approved Actuary thinks requires action to be taken to avoid prejudice in the interests of the policy holders.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES & FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
As part of the overall governance framework the and in accordance with Prudential Standards GPS 220 Risk Management and GPS 230 Reinsurance Management issued APRA, the Board and senior management have developed, implemented and maintain a sound and prudent Risk Management Strategy (RMS) and a Reinsurance Management Strategy (REMS).
The RMS and REMS identify the Company’s policies and procedures, processes and controls that comprise its risk management and control systems. These systems address all material risks, financial and non-financial, likely to be faced by the Company. Annually, the Board certifies to APRA that adequate strategies have been put in place to monitor those risks, that the Company has systems in place to ensure compliance with legislative and prudential requirements and that the Board has satisfied itself as to the compliance with the RMS and REMS. The RMS and REMS have been approved by both the Board and APRA.
Key aspects of the processes established in the RMS to mitigate risks include:
    A formal regular process of risk identification and evaluation, supplemented by a documented control assessment process, is completed by management and communicated to the Board in line with the Board approved Risk Management Strategy.
 
    Actuarial models, using information from management information systems, to monitor claims patterns and other relevant statistics. Past experience and statistical methods are used as part of the process.
 
    The maintenance and use of various specialist information systems, which provide up to date and reliable data on claims liabilities.
 
    Documented procedures that are followed by claims staff that are experienced in the various classes of business previously written.
 
    Reinsurance has been used, particularly in the early period of the run-off to limit the Company’s exposure to large single claims. The REMS provides that exposures continue to be monitored and where feasible reinsurance be purchased as means of limiting risk.
 
    The mix of investment assets is driven by the nature and term of the insurance liabilities. The management of assets and liabilities is closely monitored in an attempt to match the maturity dates of assets with the expected pattern of claim payments.
Risk and Mitigation
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of risks.
The major risks associated with insurance contracts include:
a)   Development of claims
 
    There is a possibility that changes may occur in the estimate of our obligations at the end of a contract period. The tables in note 15 show the estimates of total ultimate claims at successive year-ends.
 
b)   Terms and conditions of direct and inwards reinsurance business
 
    There is limited scope to improve the existing terms and conditions. The company has been in orderly run off since 1999, and no new contracts have been entered into since that time with the exception of riskcap.
 
c)   Concentration of insurance risk
 
    The exposure to concentrations of insurance risk can be mitigated with the purchase of reinsurance where management believes that the price /risk transfer is suitable.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES & FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Financial risks include:
    Market risk
 
a)   Interest rate risk
 
    Interest rate risk arises to the extent that there is a mismatch between the fixed-interest portfolios used to back the outstanding claims liability and those outstanding claims. The interest rate risk is managed by matching the duration profiles of the investments assets and the outstanding claims liability.
 
    The accounting policy notes describe the policies used to measure and report the assets and liabilities of the Company. Where the applicable market value is determined by discounting future cash flows, movements in interest rates will result in a reported unrealised gain or loss in the profit and loss account.
 
    AMP Capital Investors Limited manages the investment portfolios on behalf of the Company. The Company seeks to reduce its interest rate risk through the use of investment portfolios as a hedge against its insurance liabilities. To the extent that these assets and liabilities can be matched, unrealised gains or losses on revaluation of liabilities resulting from interest rate movements will be offset by unrealised losses or gains on revaluation of investment assets.
 
    Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The following table demonstrates the impact of a 100 basis point change in Australian interest rates, with all other variables held constant, on the company’s shareholder profit after tax. It is assumed that the change occurs as at the reporting date (31 December) and there are concurrent movements in interest rates and parallel shifts in yield curves.
                 
    31 Dec 07   31 Dec 06
    Impact on Profit   Impact on Profit
Change in Variable   after tax $’000   after tax $’000
+100 basis points
    (697 )     (1,000 )
- 100 basis points
    697       1,000  
b)   Foreign Currency risk analysis
 
    Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in exchange rates.
 
    The Company’s financial assets are all held in Australian dollars. This matches the currency profile of the liabilities with the exception of some policies written in USD. As a result the entity is exposed to some currency mismatch.
 
    Other exposures to foreign currency are immaterial.
 
    Foreign Currency sensitivity analysis

The following table demonstrates the impact of a 10% increase or decrease in the Australian dollar against the USD, where the USD is seen as the relevant proxy of liabilities. It is assumed that the relevant change occurs at reporting date.

    Liquidity risk
 
    Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to met its debt obligations or other cash outflows as they fall due because of lack of liquid assets. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of assets and liabilities. As required by APRA prudential Standard GPS 220, the Company has developed and implemented a risk management strategy which is described earlier in this note to control this risk.
 
    The table below summaries the maturity profile of the company’s financial liabilities at 31 December based on contractual undiscounted obligations.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that arises from a counterparty failing to meet their contractual commitments in full and on time, or from losses arising from the change in value of traded financial instruments as a result of changes in credit risk on that instrument.
Credit risk arising from exposure to individual counter parties in the investment portfolios is managed by the investment manager, AMP Capital Investors’ Compliance and Business Risk team, according to a separate investment mandate approved by the Board which aims to duration band match the insurance liability profile within specified credit criteria constraints. Compliance with the mandate is reported to the Board of Directors.
Credit risk in trade receivables in managed by analysing the credit ratings of the underlying debts.
Other than loans to related parties, there are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Derivative transactions
The Company uses derivatives in the following way:
Investment management operations
Authority has been given to the investment managers to use derivatives in managing the investment portfolios. There may be various reasons why investment in derivatives is more appropriate than investment in the underlying physical asset including hedging, liquidity and pricing.
The types of derivatives, which the investment manager can use include, interest rate swaps and futures, share price index futures and forward currency agreements.

(LETTERHEAD)
Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors of TGI Australia Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TGI Australia Limited as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related income statements, statements of changes in equity, and cash flow statements for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TGI Australia Limited at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
This Financial Report, comprising the financial statements and the notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except for investments, which have been measured at fair value, and insurance liabilities, which have been discounted to present value.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Financial Report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the current year and comparative period, unless otherwise stated. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed by this Financial Report as compared with the 31 December 2005 Financial Report. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to be consistent with current period disclosures.
Accounting Standards that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted for the reporting period ending 31 December 2006. When applied in future periods, these recently issued or amended standards are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s results or financial position; however they may impact Financial Report disclosures.
Operating revenue
Operating revenue comprises general insurance earned premiums, recoveries, investment income and interest income. Investment income is brought to account on an accrual basis. Other underwriting income comprises of sundry receipts.
Premium Revenue and Unearned premiums
(i) Premium revenue
General insurance premiums comprise amounts charged to policyholders or other insurers, including fire service levies, but excluding stamp duties and GST collected on behalf of third parties. The earned portion of premiums received and receivable, including unclosed business, is recognised as operating revenue. Movements in the provisions for impairment of premium receivables have been included in premium revenue.
(ii) Unearned premiums
Unearned premiums represent premium revenue attributable to future accounting periods. Unearned premium is determined by apportioning the premiums written in the year evenly over the period of insurance cover, reflecting the pattern in which risk emerges under these policies.
Unexpired risk liability
The adequacy of the unearned premium liability in respect of each class of business is assessed by considering current estimates of all expected future cash flows relating to future claims covered by current insurance contracts.
If the present value of the expected future cash flows relating to future claims exceeds the unearned premium liability less related intangible assets and related deferred acquisition costs then the unearned premium liability is deemed to be deficient.

TGI Australia Ltd
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006
The entire deficiency is recognised immediately in the income statement. The deficiency is recognised first by writing down any related intangible assets and then related deferred acquisition costs, with any excess being recorded in the balance sheet as an unexpired risk liability.
Outstanding Claims
The liability for outstanding claims is measured as the best estimate of the present value of expected future payments against claims incurred at the reporting date under general insurance contracts issued by the Company, with an additional risk margin to allow for the inherent uncertainty in the best estimate.
The expected future payments include those in relation to claims reported but not yet paid; claims incurred but not reported (IBNR), claims incurred but not enough reported (IBNER) and anticipated claims handling costs.
Claims handling costs include costs that can be associated directly with individual claims, such as legal and other professional fees, and costs that can only be indirectly associated with individual claims, such as claims administration costs.
The liability includes an allowance for inflation and superimposed inflation and is measured as the present value of the expected future ultimate cost of settling claims. The expected future payments are discounted to present value using a risk free rate.
A risk margin is applied to the outstanding claims liability, net of reinsurance and other recoveries, to reflect the inherent uncertainty in the best estimate. This risk margin increases the probability that the net liability is adequately provided for to a 75% confidence level.
Outwards reinsurance premium expense and deferred reinsurance premium
Premiums ceded to reinsurers are recognised as an expense over the period of cover using the methods applicable to premium revenue as set out in the premium revenue note above.
Reinsurance and other recoveries
Reinsurance and other recoveries consist of receivables on paid claims and outstanding claims and are recognised as revenue when claims are paid or the outstanding claim is raised. Reinsurance receivables are discounted to present value consistent with the discounting of outstanding claims. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The impairment charge is recognised in the income statement. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Fire brigade levies and other statutory charges
A liability for fire brigade levies and other statutory charges is recognised on business written to the balance date. Levies and charges payable are expensed on the same basis as the recognition of the related premium revenue, with the portion relating to unearned premiums being reported as deferred statutory charges.
Investment Income
Dividend and interest income is recognised in the income statement on an effective interest method when the entity obtains control of the right to receive the revenue.
Realised gains and losses represent the change in value between the previously reported value and the amount received on sale of the asset. Unrealised gains and losses represent changes in the fair value of financial assets recognised in the period.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006
Assets backing general insurance liabilities
As part of its investment strategy, the Company actively manages its investment portfolio to ensure that investments mature in accordance with the expected pattern of future cash flows arising from general insurance liabilities.
The Company has determined that all assets are held to back general insurance liabilities on the basis that all assets of the Company are available for the settlement of claims if required. The following policies apply to assets held to back general insurance liabilities.
Financial assets
Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss. Initial recognition is at cost in the balance sheet and subsequent measurement is at fair value with any resultant unrealised gains or losses recognised in the income statement. Details of fair value for the different types of financial assets are listed below:
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand that is available on demand and deposits held at call with financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value, being the principal amount. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash also includes other highly liquid investments not subject to significant risk of change in value.
Cash trusts
The fair value of units in a listed cash trust reflects the quoted bid price at balance date. There is no reduction for realisation costs in the value of units in a cash trust. Unlisted unit trusts are recorded at fund managers valuations.
Debt securities
Debt securities are initially recognised at fair value, representing the purchase cost of the asset exclusive of any transaction costs. Debt securities are subsequently measured at fair value, with any realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in the income statement for the period in which they arise. The fair value of a traded interest bearing security reflects the bid price at balance date. Interest bearing securities that are not frequently traded are valued by discounting the estimated recoverable amounts, using prevailing interest rates. Debt securities are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Derivatives
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at their fair value. All derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive, and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Derivatives are exchange traded and are fair valued using their publicly quoted bid price on the date of valuation.
Income Tax
Income tax
Income tax expense is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period based on the income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to: (i) temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their balance sheet carrying amounts, and (ii) unused tax losses.

TGI Australia Ltd
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006
Deferred tax
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 for each jurisdiction.
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.
Tax Consolidation
AMP Limited, TGI Australia Ltd and certain other wholly owned controlled entities of AMP Limited comprise a tax-consolidated group of which AMP Limited is the head entity. The implementation date for the tax-consolidated group was 30 June 2003.
Under tax consolidation, AMP Limited as head entity, assumes the following balances from subsidiaries within the tax-consolidated group:
(i) Current tax balances arising from external transactions recognised by entities in the tax-consolidated group occurring after the implementation date, and;
(ii) Deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits recognised by entities in the tax-consolidated group occurring after the implementation date.
A tax funding agreement has been entered into by the head entity and the controlled entities in the tax-consolidated group. Controlled entities in the tax-consolidated group will continue to be responsible, by the operation of the tax funding agreement, for funding tax payments required to be made by the head entity arising from underlying transactions of the controlled entities. Controlled entities will make (receive) contributions to (from) the head entity for the balances recognised by the head entity described in (i) and (ii) above. The contributions will be calculated in accordance with the tax funding agreement.
Assets and liabilities which arise as a result of differences between the periods in which the underlying transactions occur, and the period in which the funding payments under the tax funding agreement are made, are recognised as intercompany balances receivable and payable in the balance sheet. The recoverability of balances arising from the tax funding arrangements is based on the ability of the tax-consolidated group to utilise the amounts recognised by the head entity.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)
All revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of any GST paid, except where they relate to products and services which are input taxed for GST purposes or the GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant tax authorities. In such circumstances, the GST paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the particular expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the tax authorities is included as a receivable or payable in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are reported on a gross basis reflecting any GST paid or collected. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, local tax authorities are classified as operating cash flows.
Foreign currency transactions and translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the functional currency). The presentation currency of this financial report, and the functional currency, is Australian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Income and expense items denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at balance sheet date, with exchange gains and losses recognised in the income statement. The corresponding foreign currency translations of overseas outstanding claims liabilities and receivables are reported as a component of claims expense and premium revenue, respectively. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Receivables
Receivables are financial assets and are measured at fair value. Given the short-term nature of most receivables, the recoverable amount approximates fair value. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The impairment charge is recognised in the income statement. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Payables
Trade creditors and accruals are recognised as liabilities for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the entity.
Amounts Due To or From Related Parties
Amounts are carried at fair value being nominal amounts due and payable. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that the related party will not be able to pay its debt.

The Company makes estimates and assumptions in respect of certain key assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key areas in which critical estimates and judgements are applied are described below.
(a) The ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts
Provision is made at year-end for the estimated cost of claims incurred but not settled at the balance sheet date, including the cost of claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company.
The estimated cost of claims includes direct expenses to be incurred in settling claims gross of the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure that it has appropriate information regarding its claims exposures. However, given the uncertainty in establishing claims provisions, it is likely that the final outcome will prove to be different from the original liability established.
The estimation of claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) is generally subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than the estimation of the cost of settling claims already notified to the Company, where more information about the claim event is generally available. IBNR claims may often not be reported to the insurer until many years after the events giving rise to the claims has happened. The liability class of business will typically display greater variations between initial estimates and final outcomes because there is a greater degree of difficulty in estimating IBNR reserves. For the short tail class, claims are typically reported soon after the claim event, and hence tend to display lower levels of volatility. In calculating the estimated cost of unpaid claims the Company uses a variety of estimation techniques, generally based upon analysis of historical experience, which assumes that the development pattern of the current claims will be consistent with past experience. Allowance is made, however, for changes or uncertainties which may create distortions in the underlying statistics or which might cause the cost of unsettled claims to increase or reduce when compared with the cost of previously settled claims including:
    changes in Company processes which might accelerate or slow down the development and/or recording of paid or incurred claims, compared with the statistics from previous periods;
 
    changes in the legal environment;
 
    the effects of inflation;
 
    the impact of large losses;
 
    movements in industry benchmarks.
Where possible the Company adopts multiple techniques to estimate the required level of provisions. This assists in giving greater understanding of the trends inherent in the data being projected. The projections given by the various methodologies also assist in setting the range of possible outcomes. The most appropriate estimation technique is selected taking into account the characteristics of the business class and the extent of the development of each accident year.
Provisions are calculated gross of any reinsurance recoveries. A separate estimate is made of the amounts that will be recoverable from reinsurers based upon the gross provisions.
Details of specific assumptions used in deriving the outstanding claims liability at year-end are detailed in note 3.
(b) Assets arising from reinsurance contracts
Assets arising from reinsurance contracts are also computed using the above methods. In addition, the recoverability of these assets is assessed on a periodic basis to ensure that the balance is reflective of the amounts that will ultimately be received, taking into consideration factors such as counterparty and credit risk. Impairment is recognised where there is objective evidence that the Company may not receive amounts due to it and these amounts can be reliably measured.

3. ACTUARIAL METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Claims estimates are derived from analysis of the results of several different actuarial models. These models take case estimates as well as payments into account and assume that reported incurred amounts or reported payment amounts will develop steadily from period to period. Other models adopt an ultimate loss ratio for each year that reflects both the long term expected level, as well as incorporating recent experience. The analysis is performed by accident year for the direct insurance class.
Claims are first estimated on an undiscounted basis and are then discounted to allow for the time value of money. The valuation methods adopted include an implicit allowance for future inflation but do not identify the explicit rate. This allows for both general economic inflation as well as any superimposed inflation detected in the modelling of payments experience. Superimposed inflation arises from non-economic factors such as developments of legal precedent.
The liability class of business may be subject to the emergence of new types of latent claims, but no specific allowance is included for this as at the balance sheet date. Such uncertainties are considered when setting the risk margin appropriate for this class.
A description of the processes used to determine the key assumptions is provided below:
The average weighted term to settlement is calculated separately by class of business, based on historical settlement patterns.
The reinsurance percentage is calculated based on past reinsurance recovery rates and the structure of the reinsurance arrangements in place.
The discount rates are derived from market yields on Government securities as at the balance date, in the currency of the expected claim payments.
Expense rate. Claim handling expenses are calculated based on the projected costs of administering the remaining claims until expiry.
The ultimate to incurred claims ratio is derived by accident or underwriting year based on historical development of claims from period to period.
The effect of changes in the assumptions have been shown in the reconciliations of general insurance assets and liabilities in Note 15.
Process for determining risk margin
The risk margin was determined initially for each portfolio, allowing for the uncertainty of the outstanding claims estimate for each portfolio. Uncertainty was analysed for each portfolio taking into account past volatility in general insurance claims, potential uncertainties relating to the actuarial models and assumptions, the quality of the underlying data used in the models, and the general insurance environment. The estimate of uncertainty is generally greater for long tailed classes when compared to short tail classes due to the longer time until settlement of outstanding claims.
The overall risk margin was determined allowing for diversification between the different portfolios and the relative uncertainty of each portfolio. The assumptions regarding uncertainty for each class were applied to the net central estimates, and the results were aggregated, allowing for diversification in order to arrive at an overall provision that is intended to have a 75% probability of adequacy.

Sensitivity analysis – general insurance contracts
There are a number of variables which impact the amounts recognised in the financial statements arising from insurance contracts.
The profit or loss and equity of the Company are sensitive to movements in a number of key variables as described below.
     
Variable   Description of variable
Average weighted term to settlement
  Expected payment patterns are used in determining the outstanding claims liability. A decrease in the average term to settlement would lead to claims being paid sooner than anticipated.
Discount rate
  The outstanding claims liability is calculated by reference to expected future payments. These payments are discounted to adjust for the time value of money.
Expense rate
  An estimate for the internal costs of administering claims is included in the outstanding claims liability.
Ultimate to incurred claims ratio
  The estimated ultimate claims cost is generally greater than the claims reported as incurred to date, due to claims that are incurred but not reported (IBNR) or due to future developments on existing claims.
Reinsurance percentage
  Assumes money will be recoverable from reinsurers on future claims paid.
The following table provides an analysis of the sensitivity of the profit after income tax and total equity to changes in these assumptions both gross and net of reinsurance.

4. INSURANCE CONTRACTS – RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
The Company has an objective to control insurance risk thus reducing volatility. The company’s policies and procedures in respect of managing risks are set out in this note below.
a)   Objective in managing risks arising from insurance contracts and policies for mitigating those risks.
 
    In accordance with Prudential Standards GPS 220 Risk Management and GPS 230 Reinsurance Management issued by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), the Board and senior management have developed, implemented and maintain a sound and prudent Risk Management Strategy (RMS) and a Reinsurance Management Strategy (REMS).
 
    The RMS and REMS identify the Company’s policies and procedures, processes and controls that comprise its risk management and control systems. These systems address all material risks, financial and non-financial, likely to be faced by the Company. Annually, the Board certifies to APRA that adequate strategies have been put in place to monitor those risks, that the Company has systems in place to ensure compliance with legislative and prudential requirements and that the Board has satisfied itself as to the compliance with the RMS and REMS. The RMS and REMS have been approved by both the Board and APRA.
 
    Key aspects of the processes established in the RMS to mitigate risks include:
    A formal regular process of risk identification and evaluation, supplemented by a documented control assessment process, is completed by management and communicated to the Board in line with the Board approved Risk Management Strategy.
 
    Actuarial models, using information from management information systems, to monitor claims patterns and other relevant statistics. Past experience and statistical methods are used as part of the process.
 
    The maintenance and use of various specialist information systems, which provide up to date and reliable data on claims liabilities.
 
    Documented procedures that are followed by claims staff that are experienced in the various classes of business previously written.
 
    Reinsurance has been used, to limit the Company’s exposure to large single claims. The REMS provides that exposures continue to be monitored and where feasible reinsurance be purchased as means of limiting risk.
 
    The mix of investment assets is driven by the nature and term of the insurance liabilities. The management of assets and liabilities is closely monitored in an attempt to match the maturity dates of assets with the expected pattern of claim payments.
b)   Development of claims
 
    There is a possibility that changes may occur in the estimate of our obligations at the end of a contract period. The tables in note 15 show our estimates of total ultimate claims at successive year-ends.
 
c)   Terms and conditions of direct and inwards reinsurance business
 
    There is limited scope to improve the existing terms and conditions. The company is been in orderly run off since 1999, and no new contracts have been entered into since that time with the exception of the Riskcap self insurance program.
 
d)   Concentration of insurance risk
 
    The exposure to concentrations of insurance risk is able to be mitigated with the purchase of reinsurance where management believes that the price /risk transfer is suitable.
 
e)   Interest rate risk
 
    Interest rate risk arises to the extent that there is a mismatch between the fixed-interest portfolios used to back the outstanding claims liability and those outstanding claims. The interest rate risk is managed by matching the duration profiles of the investments assets and the outstanding claims liability.
 
f)   Credit risk
 
    Other than loans to related parties, there are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
(a) Specific purposes for which derivative transactions are undertaken
The Company uses derivatives in the following way:
Investment management operations
The Company has given authority to AMP Capital Investors Limited (the investment manager) to use derivatives in managing investment portfolios. There may be various reasons why investment in derivatives is more appropriate than investment in the underlying physical asset including hedging, liquidity and pricing.
The types of derivatives which the investment manager uses are interest rate swaps and futures.
(b) Extent of derivative transactions
                                 
    Notional   Net market   Notional   Net market
    value   value   value   value
    31 Dec 2006   31 Dec 2006   31 Dec 2005   31 Dec 2005
    $’000   $’000   $’000   $’000
 
                               
Investment management operations
                               
Commercial Bond contract
    19,286       213       25,560       288  
The notional value refers to the value of the underlying assets of the derivatives contract. The fair value is the unrealised gain/(loss) on the outstanding contracts.
The interest rate contracts used by the Company are for hedging purposes.
(c) Fair Values
The recorded bid price equates to net fair value for listed debt and equity securities. For derivative contracts, fair value equates to the unrealised gain/loss on the outstanding contract. For the following financial instruments, the cost carrying amount is considered to equate to their fair value:
  cash deposits
  loans to related parties
  receivables
  payables.
(d) Special terms and conditions
All financial instruments of the Company are held or issued on normal commercial terms at market rates of interest. There are no special terms or conditions affecting the nature and timing of the financial instruments not otherwise disclosed in these accounts. The accounting policies and terms and conditions for each class of financial asset or liability at the balance date are detailed in Note 1 and throughout the other notes to these financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006
26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES (continued)
(e) Credit risk
Trading investments are recorded in the accounts at fair value which represents the Company’s exposure to credit risk in relation to these instruments. The Company’s credit risk exposure to derivatives is the fair value as recorded above.
The credit risk of the Company arising from exposure to individual entities in investment portfolios is monitored and controlled by AMP Capital Investors Limited in accordance with Credit Policy guidelines.
Credit risk in trade receivables in managed by analysing the credit ratings of the underlying debts.
(f) Interest rate risk on financial instruments
The accounting policy notes describe the policies used to measure and report the assets and liabilities of the Company. Where the applicable market value is determined by discounting future cash flows, movements in interest rates will result in a reported unrealised gain or loss in the profit and loss account.
AMP Capital Investors Limited manages investment portfolios on behalf of the Company. The Company seeks to reduce its interest rate risk through the use of investment portfolios as a hedge against the insurance liabilities of the Company. To the extent that these assets and liabilities can be matched, unrealised gains or losses on revaluation of liabilities resulting from interest rate movements will be offset by unrealised losses or gains on revaluation of investment assets.
The Company uses derivatives to manage the interest rate risk on its other interest sensitive assets and liabilities set out in Note 25(a).
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risks and the effective interest rates of financial assets and liabilities at the reporting date, are as follows:

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors of TGI Australia Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TGI Australia Limited as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related income statements, statements of changes in equity, and cash flow statements for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TGI Australia Limited at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
