expected future processes, technology and economic conditions, are also monitored to assess for
indicators of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the assets

to time during the half-year.
Directors Responsibility for the Half- Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year
financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting
Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining
internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting
policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements (ASRE) 2410
Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state
whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us
believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true
and fair view of the consolidated entitys financial position as at 31 December 2007 and its performance for
the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial
Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in
Australia. As the auditor of Integrated Legal Holdings Limited and the entities it controlled during the halfyear, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual
financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act
2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditors Independence Declaration, a copy
of which is included in the financial report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under


Professional Standards Legislation.
