A = Number of meetings attended
B = Number of meetings held during the time the director held office
during the year.
(c) The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the period
were:
. Manufacture of tyres for vehicles and aircraft
. Wholesaling and retailing of vehicle and aircraft tyres;
There were no significant changes in the nature of the principal
activities of the consolidated entity during the year.
(d) The net loss of the consolidated entity for the year after deducting
outside equity interests and after providing for income tax was
$92,056,394. The comparative figure for the previous year ended 30th June
2000, was a net loss of $15,639,468. The contribution to profits by each
entity in the consolidated entity is set out in Note 28 to the financial
statements.
The directors have apportioned the loss to the partners in accordance with
the Partnership Agreement.
(e) For the year ended 30/th/ June 2001, South Pacific Tyres paid nil (2000 :
$7,276,000) to the partners by way of a distribution of profits.
(f) The directors' review of the operations of the consolidated entity during
the year, and the results of those operations is as follows:
Worldwide industry over-capacity and severe pressure from competitive
imports made last year very difficult for South Pacific Tyres. It was also
a period of significant change in all operations.
A loss after tax of $92.1 million was incurred by South Pacific Tyres,
compared with the previous years' loss of $15.6 million. The losses
reflected the lower volumes, falling prices, and other inefficiencies
which are currently being addressed in a wide-ranging review of SPT
operations. The losses include $32.3 million non-recurring restructuring
costs including $26.3 million associated with the closure of the medium
truck radial tyre plant at Somerton (closure costs of $52.3 million net of
$25.0 million supply agreement consideration) and $6.0 million costs
associated with an overhead reduction program.
Market share decreased even though total Australian demand for tyres
increased slightly. Competitive imports, mainly from low cost Asian
manufacturers, increased significantly - up to 21.4% in light truck
radials, 8.5% in truck radials, and 7.3% in passenger radials. The
increase in competitive imports from Asia has increased more than three
fold in the past 10 years.

Directors Report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(g) In the opinion of the directors, other than referred to in this report,
there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the
consolidated entity that occurred during the year.
(g) Since the end of the financial year, the following matters or
circumstances have arisen that have significantly affected, or may
significantly affect, the operations, results of operations or state of
affairs of the consolidated entity.
A memorandum of undertaking has been signed by the partners on issues
regarding the future of the South Pacific Tyres Joint Venture, including
the basis of future funding and opportunities for continuance or
dissolvement of the partnership. Agreement to give effect to the
understandings in the memorandum is subject to completion of a definitive
agreement.
Further, on the 28th September 2001, South Pacific Tyres announced
details of major restructuring plans for its Australian tyre
manufacturing operations. The restructure is aimed at turning around its
recent poor performance to ensure its survival as a profitable
competitive business. The key elements include:
. Closure of the Footscray factory over the period December 2001,
through to March 2002, with a total of 440 redundancies;
. Reconfiguration of passenger tyre production to consolidate all
current Somerton and Thomastown production of this category at the
Somerton site by July 2002, with 380 redundancies and the closure of
the Thomastown factory;
. Streamlining of some related corporate and executive level
administration with the redundancy of 70 staff.
(i) The operations of the partnership are subject to various environmental
regulations under both Commonwealth and State legislation. The
partnership has an Environmental Specialist who monitors compliance with
environmental regulations. The directors are not aware of any breaches of
the legislation during the financial year which are material in nature.
(j) Likely Developments
Information about likely developments in the operations of the
consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations in
future financial years, has not been included in this report because
disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable
prejudice to the consolidated entity.
(k) No director of the partnership, since the end of the previous financial
year, has received or become entitled to receive a benefit (other than a
benefit included in the aggregate amount of remuneration received or due
and receivable by directors shown in the financial statements or the
fixed salary of a full time employee of the partnership or of a related
corporation) by reason of a contract made by the partnership or a related
corporation with the director or with a firm of which he is a member, or
with an entity in which the director has a financial interest.
(l) This special purpose financial report has been drawn up in accordance
with Section 11 of the Partnership Agreement. As required by that
section, the financial report has been prepared as if the partnership
were a public company under the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report complies with the Corporations Act 2001, Urgent
Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board, and, except as stated below,
applicable Accounting Standards. The directors do not consider the
partnership to be a reporting entity and the matters required to be
disclosed by AASB 1017 - Related Party Disclosures, and AASB 1029 -
Accounting for Employee Entitlements ( disclosure requirements only ),
have not been included in the financial report, as the directors do not
consider those matters to be relevant.
(m) Indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors
Since the end of the previous financial year, the partnership has not
indemnified or made a relevant agreement for indemnifying against a
liability any person who is or has been an officer or auditor of the
partnership.

Directors Report

directors' and officers' liability and legal expenses insurance contracts
for the year ended 30th June 2001. Such insurance contracts insure

are or have been directors or executive officers of the partnership. The
directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities
covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors'
and officers' liability and legal expenses' insurance contracts, as such
disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

1. Statement Of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this
financial report are:
(a) Basis of preparation
In accordance with Section 11 of the Partnership Agreement, South Pacific Tyres
("the partnership") is required to prepare a financial report as if it were a
public company under the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.
In the opinion of the directors, the partnership is not a reporting entity. The
financial report of the partnership has been drawn up as a special purpose
financial report for distribution to the members and for the purpose of
fulfilling the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards,
Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 that have a
material effect with the following exceptions:
(i) AASB 1005 Financial Reporting by Segments
(ii) AASB 1017 Related Party Disclosures
(iii) AASB 1028 Accounting for Employee Entitlements (disclosure
requirements only)
It has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and except where stated,
does not take into account changing money values or fair values of non-current
assets.
These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the
consolidated entity and, except where there is a change in accounting policy,
are consistent with those of the previous year.
(b) Reclassification of financial information
Some line items and sub-totals reported in the previous financial year have been
reclassified and repositioned in the financial statements as a result of the
first time application on 1 July 2000 of the revised standards AASB 1018
Statement of Financial Performance, AASB 1034 Financial Report Presentation and
Disclosures and the new AASB 1040 Statement of Financial Position.
Adoption of these standards has resulted in the transfer of the reconciliation
of opening to closing retained profits from the face of the statement of
financial performance to Note 20.
Revenue and expense items previously disclosed as abnormal have been
reclassified and are now disclosed as individually significant items in Note 4.
These items are no longer identified separately on the face of the statement of
financial performance.
The following assets and liabilities have been removed from previous
classifications and are now disclosed as separate line items on the face of the
statement of financial position:
- deferred tax assets, previously presented within other non-current assets
- current tax liabilities, previously presented within current provisions
- deferred tax liabilities, previously presented within non-current
provisions.
(c) Principles of consolidation
Controlled entities
The financial statements of controlled entities are included from the date
control commences until the date control ceases.
Outside interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled
by the partnership are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial
statements.
SPT Statutory Accounts 30/06/2001 Page 8
Notes to Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Statement Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Principles of consolidation (continued)
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Unrealised gains and losses and inter-entity balances resulting from
transactions with or between controlled entities are eliminated in full on
consolidation.
(d) Revenue recognition - Note 3
Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the
amount of goods and services tax (GST) payable to the taxation authority.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised (net of returns, discounts and
allowances) when control of the goods passes to the customer.
Rendering of services
Revenue from rendering services is recognised when the service has been
completed.
Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective
yield on the financial asset.
Other revenue
Supply agreement revenue relating to tyre purchasing commitments is recognised
at the date of the agreement with the supplier.
Sale of non-current assets
The gross proceeds of non-current asset sales are included as revenue at the
date control of the asset passes to the buyer, usually when an unconditional
contract of sale is signed.
The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the
carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on
disposal. Any related balance in the asset revaluation reserve is transferred to
the capital profits reserve on disposal.
(e) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and
services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). In these circumstances the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item
of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a
current asset or current liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST
components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which
are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash
flows.
(f) Foreign currency
Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated to Australian currency at the rates
of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and
payable in foreign currencies at balance date are translated at the rates of
exchange ruling on that date.
Exchange differences relating to amounts payable and receivable in foreign
currencies are brought to account as exchange gains or losses in the statement
of financial performance in the financial year in which the exchange rates
change.
SPT Statutory Accounts 30/06/2001 Page 9
Notes to the Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Statement Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Foreign currency (continued)
Translation of controlled foreign entities
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations that are self-sustaining are
translated at the rates of exchange ruling at balance date. Equity items are
translated at historical rates. The statements of financial performance are
translated at a weighted average rate for the year. Exchange differences arising
on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.
The balance of the foreign currency translation reserve relating to a foreign
operation that is disposed of, or partially disposed of, is transferred to
retained earnings in the year of disposal.
(g) Derivatives
The consolidated entity is exposed to changes in interest rates, foreign
exchange rates and commodity prices from its activities. The consolidated entity
uses the following derivative financial instruments to hedge these risks:
interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial
instruments are not held for speculative purposes.
Hedges
Anticipated transactions
Where transactions are designated as a hedge of the purchase or sale of goods or
services, purchase of qualifying assets, or an interest transaction, gains and
losses on the hedge arising up to the date of the transaction, together with any
costs or gains arising at the time of entering into the hedge, are deferred and
included in the measurement of the transaction when it has occurred as
designated. Any gains or losses on the hedge transaction after that date are
included in the statement of financial performance.
The net amounts receivable or payable under open swaps and forward rate
agreements and the associated deferred gains or losses are not recorded in the
statement of financial position until the hedge transaction occurs. The net
receivables or payables are then revalued using the foreign currency and
interest rates current at reporting date. Refer to Note 22.
Other hedges
All other hedge transactions are initially recorded at the relevant rate at the
date of the transaction. Hedges outstanding at balance date are valued at the
rates ruling on that date and any gains or losses are brought to account in the
statement of financial performance. Costs or gains arising at the time of
entering into the hedge are deferred and amortised over the life of the hedge.
(h) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating
to borrowings and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with
arrangement of borrowings and finance lease charges. Borrowing costs are
expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets
are assets which take more than 12 months to get ready for their intended use or
sale. In these circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the cost of the
asset. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction
or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised
is those incurred in relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on
those borrowings. Where funds are borrowed generally, borrowing costs are
capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.
(i) Taxation - Note 6
Partnership
Income tax is not provided for in the financial statements of South Pacific
Tyres, as the partnership does not pay tax. The partners are taxable in their
individual capacities on their share of the net partnership income.
SPT Statutory Accounts 30/06/2001 Page 10
Notes to the Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Statement Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(i) Taxation - Note 6 (continued)
Controlled entities
The controlled entities adopt the income statement liability method of tax
effect accounting.
Income tax expense is calculated on operating profit adjusted for permanent
differences between taxable and accounting income. The tax effect of timing
differences, which arise from the items being brought to account in different
periods for income tax and accounting purposes, is carried forward in the
statement of financial position as a future income tax benefit or a provision
for deferred income tax.
Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the
asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits relating to
tax losses are only brought to account when their realisation is virtually
certain. The tax effects of capital losses are not recorded unless realisation
is virtually certain.
(j) Accounting for acquisitions
Acquired businesses are accounted for on the basis of the cost method. Fair
values are assigned at the date of acquisition to all the identifiable
underlying assets acquired and to the liabilities assumed. Specific assessment
is undertaken at the date of acquisition of any additional costs to be incurred.
Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase consideration plus incidental
costs over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired on the
acquisition of the business, is amortised to the statement of financial
performance using the following criteria:
Goodwill Acquired Write-Off Period
Up to $1.25m Written off over 5 years in equal instalments, but
at a rate of not less than $250,000 pa
$1.25m to $10m Written off over 20 years on a straight line basis,
but at a rate of not less than $250,000 pa
The unamortised balance of goodwill is reviewed at least annually. Where the
balance exceeds the value of expected future benefits, the difference is charged
to the statement of financial performance.
Research and development costs
Research and development expenditure is expensed as incurred.
Subsequent additional costs
Costs incurred on assets subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised when
it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally
assessed performance of the asset will flow to the consolidated entity in future
years. Costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalisation are expensed as
incurred.
(k) Revisions of accounting estimates
Revisions of accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in current and
future periods only.
(l) Receivables - Note 8
The collectability of debts is assessed at balance date and specific provision
is made for any doubtful accounts.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors to be settled within agreed terms are carried at amounts due.
(m) Inventories - Note 9
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs
include direct materials, direct labour, other direct variable costs and
allocated production overheads necessary to bring inventories to their present
location and condition, based on normal operating capacity of the production
facilities.
Manufacturing activities
The cost of manufacturing inventories and work-in-progress are assigned on a
first-in, first-out basis. Costs arising from exceptional wastage are expensed
as incurred.
SPT Statutory Accounts 30/06/2001 Page 11
Notes to the Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Statement Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(m) Inventories - Note 9 (continued)
Net realisable value
Net realisable value is determined on the basis of each inventory line's normal
selling pattern. Expenses of marketing, selling and distribution to customers
are estimated and are deducted to establish net realisable value.
(n) Investments - Note 11
Investments in controlled entities are carried in the financial statements of
the partnership at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.
(o) Leased assets
Leases under which the partnership or its controlled entities assume
substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance
leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance leases
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and a lease liability equal to the
present value of the minimum lease payments are recorded at the inception of the
lease. Lease liabilities are reduced by the repayments of principal. The
interest components of the lease payments are expensed. Contingent rentals are
expensed as incurred.
Operating leases
Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight line basis over
the term of the lease, except where an alternative basis is more representative
of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.
Also refer to Note 23.
(p) Recoverable amount of non-current assets valued on cost basis
The carrying amount of non-current assets valued on the cost basis are reviewed
to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount at balance
date. If the carrying amount of a non-current asset exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset is written down to the lower amount. The write-down is
expensed in the reporting period in which it occurs.
Where a group of assets working together supports the generation of cash
inflows, recoverable amount is assessed in relation to that group of assets. In
assessing recoverable amount of non-current assets the relevant cash flows have
not been discounted to their present value, except where specifically stated.
(q) Depreciation and amortisation
Complex assets
The components of major assets that have materially different useful lives, are
effectively accounted for as separate assets, and are separately depreciated.
Useful lives
All non-current assets have limited useful lives and are depreciated/amortised
using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives.
Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition or, in respect
of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and held
ready for use.
Depreciation and amortisation rates and methods are reviewed annually for
appropriateness. When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively
in current and future periods only. Depreciation and amortisation are expensed,
except to the extent that they are included in the carrying amount of another
asset as an allocation of production overheads.
The depreciation/amortisation rates used for each class of asset are as follows:
2001 2000
[X] Freehold buildings 2.50% 2.50%
[X] Leasehold buildings and improvements 2.5%-40% 2.5%-40%
[X] Plant and equipment 6.7%-33.33% 6.7%-33.33%
[X] Leased plant and equipment 15%-20% 15%-20%
SPT Statutory Accounts 30/06/2001 Page 12
Notes to the Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Statement Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(r) Payables - Note 14
Liabilities are recognised for the amounts to be paid in the future for goods or
services received. Trade accounts payable are settled within agreed terms.
(s) Interest bearing liabilities - Note 15
Bank loans are recognised at their principal amount, subject to set-off
arrangements. Interest expense is accrued at the contracted rate and included in
"Other creditors and accruals".
(t) Employee entitlements
Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
The provisions for employee entitlements to wages, salaries, annual leave and
sick leave represent present obligations resulting from employees' services
provided up to the balance date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on
current wages and salary rates including related on-costs. Related on-costs are
recorded in trade creditors.
Long service leave
The provision for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the
present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from
employees' services provided to reporting date.
The provision is calculated using the estimated future increases in wage and
salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on
turnover history and is discounted using the rates attaching to national
government securities at balance date which most closely match the terms of
maturity of the related liabilities.
Superannuation plan
The partnership and other controlled entities contribute to various defined
benefit and accumulation superannuation plans. Contributions are charged against
income as they are made, as set out in Note 26.
(u) Provisions
A provision is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a
result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation.
If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected
future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, except where
noted below.
Restructuring
Provisions for restructuring are only recognised when a detailed plan has been
approved and the restructuring has either commenced or been publicly announced.
Costs related to ongoing activities are not provided for.
Surplus leased premises
Provision is made for rentals payable on surplus leased premises when it is
determined that no substantive future benefit will be obtained by the
consolidated entity from its occupancy. This arises where premises are currently
leased under non-cancellable operating leases and either the premises are not
occupied, are being sub-leased for lower rentals than the consolidated entity
pays or there will be no substantive benefits beyond a known future date. Any
necessary provision is calculated on the basis of discounted net future cash
flows, using the interest rate implicit in the lease or an estimate thereof.
2. Change in Accounting Policy
Revaluation of non-current assets
The standard requires each class of non-current asset to be measured on either
the cost or fair value basis. AASB 1041 does not apply to inventories, foreign
currency monetary assets, goodwill, investments accounted for using the equity
method, deferred tax assets and other assets measured at net market value where
the market value movements are recognised in the statement of financial
performance. The partnership has applied revised AASB 1041 as follows:
Freehold land and buildings
The partnership has adopted the deemed cost basis for measuring land and
buildings.
SPT Statutory Accounts 30/06/2001 Page 13
Notes to the Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Change in Accounting Policy (continued)
Other non-current assets
The partnership has continued to apply the cost basis for other applicable
non-current assets such as receivables, other financial assets and plant and
equipment.

22. Additional financial instruments disclosure
(a) Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity enters into interest rate swaps to manage cash flow
risks associated with the floating interest rates on borrowings.
Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements
Interest rate swaps allow the consolidated entity to swap floating rate
borrowings into fixed rates. Maturities of swap contracts are principally
between one to five years.
Each contract involves quarterly payment or receipt of the net amount of
interest. At 30 June 2001 the fixed rates varied from 5.5% to 7.2% (2000: 7.2%
to 7.3%) and floating rates were at bank bill rates plus the consolidated
entity's credit margin. The weighted average effective floating interest rate at
30 June 2001 was 6.3% (2000: 5.9%).

As these contracts are hedging anticipated purchases, any unrealised gains and
losses on the contracts, together with the costs of the contracts, will be
deferred and then recognised in the financial statements at the time the
underlying transaction occurs as designated. The gross deferred gains and losses
on hedges of anticipated foreign currency purchases are:

When the underlying transaction has occurred as designated, the effect of the
hedge has been recognised in the financial statements.
(c) Commodity price risk
The consolidated entity enters into futures contracts to hedge (or hedge a
proportion of ) commodity purchase prices on anticipated specific purchase
commitments of natural rubber. The terms of these contracts are rarely more than
one year. There were no contracts outstanding at year end (2000: $982,528).
As these contracts are hedging anticipated future purchases, any unrealised
gains and losses on the contracts, together with the costs of the contracts,
will be recognised in the measurement of the underlying purchase commitment. The
net unrecognised loss on hedges of anticipated future commodity purchase
contracts as at 30 June 2001 was $Nil (2000: $193,646)
SPT Statutory Accounts 30/06/2001 Page 24
Notes to the Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22. Additional financial instruments disclosure (continued)
(d) Credit risk exposures
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparts failed
to perform as contracted.
Recognised Financial Instruments
The credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of the consolidated
entity which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, is the
carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts.
The consolidated entity minimises concentrations of credit risk by undertaking
transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties in various
countries.
The consolidated entity is not materially exposed to any individual overseas
country or individual customer. Concentrations of credit risk on trade debtors
and term debtors due from customers are the motor vehicle and transport
industries.
Unrecognised Financial Instruments
Credit risk on derivative contracts which have not been recognised on the
statement of financial position is minimised as counterparts are recognised
financial intermediaries with acceptable credit ratings determined by a
recognised rating agency.
Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts are subject to credit risk in
relation to the relevant counterparties, which are principally large banks. The
maximum credit risk exposure on foreign currency contracts is the full amount
the consolidated entity pays when settlement occurs, should the counterparty
fail to pay the amount which it is committed to pay the consolidated entity as
is disclosed at Note 22(b).
As all future contracts are transacted through a recognised futures exchange,
there is no credit risk associated with these contracts.
(e) Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities
Valuation approach
Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities are determined by the
consolidated entity on the following basis:
Recognised Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of bank term deposits, trade debtors, other debtors, bank
overdrafts, accounts payable, bank loans and employee entitlements approximate
net fair value.
Unrecognised Financial Instruments
The valuation of financial instruments not recognised on the statement of
financial position detailed in this note reflects the estimated amounts which
the consolidated entity expects to pay or receive to terminate the contracts
(net of transaction costs) or replace the contracts at their current market
rates as at reporting date. This is based on independent market quotations and
determined using standard valuation techniques.

Independent Audit Report
To the partners of South Pacific Tyres
Scope
We have audited the financial report of South Pacific Tyres for the financial
year end June 30, 2001, being a special purpose financial report consisting of
the statements of financial performance, statements of financial position,
statements of cash flows, accompanying notes and the directors' declaration set
out on pages 1 - 34. The financial report includes the consolidated financial
statements of the consolidated entity, comprising the South Pacific Tyres
Partnership (the "Partnership") and the entities it controlled at the end of the
year or from time to time during the financial year. The Partnership's directors
are responsible for the financial report. In accordance with Section 11 of the
Partnership agreement, the Partnership is required to prepare a financial report
as if it were a public company under the provisions of the Corporations Act
2001.
The directors have determined that the accounting policies used and described in
Note 1 to the financial statements are appropriate to meet the requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001 and the needs of the partners of the Partnership. We
have conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express
an opinion on it to the partners. No opinion is expressed whether the accounting
policies used, and described in Note 1 to the financial statements, are
appropriate to the needs of the partners.
The financial report has been prepared for distribution to the partners for the
purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We disclaim
any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report, or on the
financial report to which it relates, to any person other than the partners, or
for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to
provide reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free of material
misstatement. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence
supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report, and the
evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These
procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether, in all material
respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the basis
of accounting described in Note 1 to the financial statements, so as to present
a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Partnership's and the
consolidated entity's financial position, and performance as represented by the
results of their operations and their cash flows. These policies do not require
the application of all accounting standards nor other mandatory professional
reporting requirements in Australia.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.
